The Ratchford Review-Rick's Essay-"Keeping an Open MInd" Part 1.
By:TT
Date: Wednesday, 11 October 2006, 2:06 pm

Excerpts:
"What is a fact? It is simply something that depends on some assumptions and your perspective, all based on your current beliefs. If you don’t agree with the assumptions and perspective another is using to prove something a fact, then at the moment, it may not be a fact to you. Obviously then, it would be to your benefit as a trader to be more flexible and open minded, accepting that facts are based on beliefs that can be changed, thus changing the reality we see ourselves in.- "Rick Ratchford-"Keeping an Open Mind"

So, there are really no truths or facts, huh Ricky? So, the truth that you've been unable to make a living trading your own cycle turn forecasts or even become a net positive trader using them yourself is just our "perspective?"
Yeah, OK.

"What is fact, my belief is that we each see reality differently."

Oh, I think you know the truth, Richard.

"That a God exists is a fact for millions, as well as there, not being one."

Huh? Oh, no. Not again.

"Yes, there are some obvious facts that most can agree on, such as water being very important to sustain life. Yet, we may differ on what degree such importance has on human life."

WHAT?????????

"I’ve written several articles dealing with the psychology of trading."

I would have to suppose, then, that the topic was your own inability to handle the stresses of trading. Hence your status as a net losing commodity trader.

"A man without an open mind is likened to a car in snow without tire chains.”

Wow! Oh, Shakespeare was but an amateur!

The finish to this review and more articles coming soon.
