Knowledge is power so I did read some stuff at your links and I was
already a little familiar with the subject - Illuminati etc.
I am also a defender of free thought and speech etc.
I could participate in an interesting discussion on any of the OT
subjects raised but I am trying to conform to Tomasz's recent
requests to keep on topic.
I have mainly been posting to encourage newer traders to focus on
trading and the charts and also to drill the lessons of the last few
weeks/months into our brains, in preparation for the next time, when
a similar pattern repeats..... this is a once in a decade opportunity
to learn about investing/trading first hand.
Right now we have record breaking volatility and volatility is what
traders thrive on ... if we get too swept up in the 'politics' we
will miss the lessons and the opportunities.
I am also an admirer of Yuki and her posts (generally) but in this
case I thought she could benefit from a second opinion (as a friend).
I am also concerned for my German/Russian friends, and others, that
we don't go back into stereotyped characterisations based on the
past ... we have come a long way since 1945 ... look at the capacity,
in this forum, for people from many different nations to share common
ground and friendships.... on the only occassion I was in Germany I
was very impressed with the people.
As for possible calamaties... I am not immune ... we are all in the
same boat .. I am retired, I have a small overseas trading account
exposed to cash 'investments' in most of the major Euro banks ... my
mahor account is onshore Australia but not in the absolute best place
(sometimes we go to a broker for certain features and have to take
the bank that we are given) ... I have friends who are getting hurt
or likely to be hurt etc.
Pain, suffering and death are the other side of life ... I am over 50
so this is not news to me.
I just don't need to suffer it before it actually happens or focus on
that and miss the day..... when the day of reckoning comes I will try
to face it stoically and with courage.
Sorry I don't know your first name so had to address you as Reinsley.
All the best,
