Well, Dave JB, we were talking about tuition, and you brought up the topic of "inroads into the knowledge".
Well, since you mention it, I am going to tell you all about it. You see, several years ago, I had spent a long long time in isolation determined to crack the riddle. This went on for years. On one occasion, I remember not going to bed for four days, and having all my meals served on a tray, because there was a situation that occurs in the market that particularly baffled me and I was determined to crack it, at any cost.
As it happened, the realisation came to me not much later when I was not consciously thinking about it, and then, I was so excited I stayed up all night examining it from every angle possible in every market for which I had information (the whole of the 10/4 menu actually) to verify it to my satisfaction, which I did.
So perhaps you may by now be getting the drift that I am capable of putting some effort into what is worthwhile, if the circumstances merit. The amount of effort must be proportional to the importance of the mission.
But unfortunately the majority of people would never consider grafting with such intensity without any guarantee of a result. People are driven by expectation, the amount of effort they are prepared to put in is proportional (at best ) to the level of expectation they have about a percieved outcome.
Ordinary people do not persist, like Edison did, in his 16,000 attempts to create a reliable lightbulb ! In fact, the common is the opposite, the great majority are not prepared to graft at all. They do not view it as necessary. They think that for them to apply what they use in ordinary life is enough. It is very far from being enough. In addition the entire infrastructure that surrounds them is against them. This infrastructure that exists in ordinary life is the direct opposite to what is required in the world of trading.
I am sure that our friend DB Phoenix will not object if I quote what he posted in a reply above in Post No 261 above. He says, and quite rightly so "The lengths to which traders will go to insulate themselves against the realities of trading can be not only extraordinary but unimaginably complex. Perhaps yet another reason why so few succeed".
Within the context of trading and market knowledge generally speaking, ordinary people, and even when they cease to be by becoming aspirants, are still not interested in creation ~ they are interested in consumption. And they are interested in results immediately. And if these results can be achieved without effort, well, that is exactly what they want. And , if these results can be achieved immediately, even better, and hopefully yesterday would be better even still. By this I mean that the patience and attention span of the public is not that great. This is the great curse of modernity, in which everything should be made available, instantly, on demand. Not so. Unfortunately for aspirants not so, sorry.
And I am sure he will not mind if I quote him again, from the same post, No 261 above. He says, and quite rightly so : "No need to wade through anything. I understand it quite well. Unfortunately it can take longer than one might think for the necessity of dealing with these issues to become not only apparent but unavoidable, which is one reason why I have stopped trying to argue about it. When one is ready to hear it, it all seems so clear, that he wonders why he did not understand it before. If one isn't ready, its just gobbledegook".
So therefore, the audience is not ready for the knowledge because it is not.
In the next part of my reply to you, we begin to delve into the "inabilities". You will find it very interesting, now I must go, I am expecting a guest, I have to pick up at the railway station. More tomorrow, yes, more, so that you all benefit and so that I am satisfied. Ta Ta.
