I'm going to write a series about "time" in trading and investing over the next few days. I've become motivated by Bud's disbelief in "virtual buyers" in his comments to a recent post [ giving credit here to a reader ;-) hehe ] and a post on time & mathematics on that fine blog by Lubos Motl. [The post link is -> http://motls.blogspot.com/2007/03/role-of-mathematics-in-science.html ; the general blog link is -> http://motls.blogspot.com/ ].
Galileo Galilei expressly added time to our concept of the physical world on local scale. Before him, understanding of the world was dominated by static Aristotelian concepts. [Actually, that great Polish scientist, Copernicus, started the shift in thinking towards a dynamic universe.] So chart analysis is often dominated by looking at a chart shape as a static figure [e. g. a bull flag, or an ascending triangle]. One really needs to include "time" in chart analysis, beyong simply using it as the x-axis.
About Me
- Bunkerman
- I have a pioneer mentality. My wife & I live in the woods - neighbors aren't visible except slightly in winter. Our "bunker" - hehe, really a fine home & barn - has plenty of security. We have four dogs: Krypto (age 9, Kelpie), Ava (age 13, Rat Terrier), Sky (Kelpie, age 5) and Lucky Star (age 1, kelpie). I don't take crap from anyone anymore, having enough resources & gear stocked up to survive in any circumstance. I have three degrees from Harvard including a Ph. D. in a physical science, and an MS in Management from MIT. I worked as an investment banker for about 25 years, mainly in secured finance, at three major Wall Street firms and for the last 17 years with my partners at our own firm. I'm semi-retired now, managing some private corporations and business interests and doing my own trading & investing. This is not to boast, but to give you an idea I know a little about some subjects from experience. The photo is my 1943 M16 half-track which I am restoring. These armored vehicles were ubiquitous in the US Army in World War II and Korea. It's driveable.

That's OK, sometimes I need to be motivated. It got me thinking about a lot of time-related ideas. The "little grey cells" were active this morning. ;-)
