Wrong continent...



Dick Sand is a fifteen year old boy serving on the schooner "Pilgrim" as a sailor. The crew are whale hunters that voyage every year down to New Zealand. After an unsuccessful season of hunting, as they plan to return the wife of the owner of the hunting firm, Mrs Weldon, her five year old son Jack Weldon and her cousin, Bénédict, an entomologist ask for a return passege to San Francisco. Several days into the journey they save five shipwrecked passengers from another ship and a dog who was with them at the time (Tom, Actéon, Austin, Bat, Nan and Dingo (the dog)). Towards the end of their passage, they notice a whale and the crew, hoping for some profit after a bad season, decide to hunt it. Captain Hull reluctantly leaves Dick responsible for the ship. But the hunt goes awry and all the crew members are killed. Now Dick is left in charge of the ship with no experienced sailors to help him. He tries to teach the five survivors of the shipwreck and tries to reach the coast of South America, but Negoro, the ship's cook manages to trick them, breaking one of their compasses and their speed measuring device and eventually, after making sure the rest were lost, leads them to equatorial Africa.

I took those in the Philippines.

Manila is a cesspit, but once you're island hopping it's divine....I met a guy sitting there on that beach at a bar with a gin and tonic in one hand and a laptop in the other, so I says, 'What you doing?' Working he replied....was busy doing a website for a client. Turns out there a whole tribe of people who drift around the world like that, completely free from the normal banality of life...

Can find the internet anywhere now days.

Pretty much my future this, just tumbleweeding around the world....

Yep, this is one of the points that make trading so attractive once we know what we are doing.

Price is high with trading Chikot...How many years it take me?

I think anyone who starts trading needs to read Nicholas Taleb's "The Black Swan" first...someone is going to get lucky and get it, but of all those who try maybe 1% will do well out of it. Just a statistical fact.

yep,but reward is high too. I actually have no choice. succeed or rot.
I am pretty sure I will be among those 1-5% with right attitude. I can trade manualy and actually like it. I only pity thast I have no own funds otherwise I would not be hanging in here.

You know my history.

The market - she is a dark mistress indeed - leads you on, let's you taste the forbidden fruit just long enough so you will donate your money's.

Only the most determined and diligent cracks this...most difficult thing I've done in my life...

I would say it is not about cracking thne market. it is about cracking ourselves... know thyself so to speak.

Not true, got to understand the detail...once you understand that the psychology disappears.

I agree somehow, but detail is different for currencies, stocks and commodities. I hardly understand why currencies are moving, but have better understanding of real things.
