If, like me, you have limited hobbies or outside interests, then you may spend a lot of time – perhaps too much time, I don’t know – watching markets. Boring, you may say, and I would applaud your undoubted creativity in finding more things to do with your time. But I would say, well, if you are so minded, few things are as fascinating as the Greatest Video Game On Earth, being the Great Circus Designed To Take Money From Poor People And Give It To Rich People, otherwise known as the securities markets.
I love securities markets. They are an endless source of amusement to me.

Every day a new, er, strategy.
