One of my readers let me know that there was a problem with my RSS feed during the last couple of weeks. Bloglines didn’t have a problem with it, so I didn’t know about it. Anyway, it should be fixed now - you can always read past posts from the archives links to the left.

The mistakes I made today were still related to overtrading. Just because I limit myself to 3 trades per day doesn’t mean that I have to make 3 trades every day. Today I was not picky enough with my trades, otherwise I would not have even made 3 trades. Overall, though, I made 5 trades - which cost me another 1R with comissions. What you are seeing here is a battle inside of myself. I know what I must do and yet I can not yet stop doing what I must stop doing. If I cannot stop, I will not be successful in trading.

PowerMetal is a company that creates lighter, stronger and more durable sports equipment with nanotechnology.

Forbes had an article last week about how money has and will change with the growth of information technology. I was thinking about this on my trip to San Francisco. What did people do 50 years ago without credit and ATM cards? They must have carried a wad of cash.

Instead of a plastic card for a bank, we could have a plastic card with a bank. The stone-pillared edifices that used to house banks are full of nightclubs and gyms now; people bank electronically, they use ATMs. An ATM is merely a device to spit paper. Why not make every card an ATM? Tomorrow’s microchips won’t lack for capacity. A cell phone is like yesterday’s switching station, a laptop is yesterday’s supercomputer. Why settle for a bank account when you could buy a cheap bank-on-a-chip?

Today is a pretty strong day so far - let’s see how it closes. In order for one of the trends to continue, one must break:
