7 Ways to Bring the Fight to the Markets

[Jason Rogers]

I wanted to share this article my friend showed me the other day, because it relates two of my favorite subjects: trading and mixed martial arts :rambo:

This past Saturday I found myself in a very unusual place; attending a MMA Championship fight. Unusual for me because a younger, more shot-nosed, pseudo-intellectually judgmental version of myself thought that the invention of cage fighting was a harbinger of the decay of the civilized world. Neanderthals participating in the modern version of gladiator fights, thrilling over-roided audiences, drunk on branded souvenir cups full of Miller Lite, was the vision I had in my mind of these affairs.

Talking about fighting.....these are interesting quotes from the article:

Mike Tyson is famous for saying, “Everyone has a plan ’till they get punched in the mouth,”

The best fight is the one you don’t have.

Now this one is interesting because it is similar to what Bruce Lee said:

The art of fighting without fighting.

.....so WHO is fighting?
