What Do You Believe That Is Not True?

by Janice Dorn, M.D., Ph.D.




A man had constant dizzy spells for which he could find no cure.

He told a close female friend about it, who advised, 'Walk around the block three times on Sunday afternoon.'

The man followed the advice, and then complained to his friend, 'I did what you said, but still feel dizzy.'

She replied. " Interesting. It didn't help my dizziness either!"

In trying to understand life, beware of foolish advice from those who do not know.

In trading and in life, it is critical to ask yourself: What sources of information are guiding my actions? Have I checked the facts, or am I simply relying on the word of this or that person?Have I applied common sense to this situation, or am I acting impulsively or instinctually? Is my rat brain really out to get me this time, or am I taking the "high" road and using my prefrontal and frontal brain areas to weed out the fear and greed?

Among the most important questions each trader must ask is this: What do I believe that is not true? This must become a mantra for you if you are to succeed in trading. Constantly question your own belief system. This, in turn, leads you to question what others are saying. It forces you to turn down the noise in your primitive limbic brain and attempt to get clarity through logical and reasoned higher cortical thought.

Lazy thinking leads to lazy trading which leads to losses. The incessant drumbeat of internal deception is magnified by the unending amount of confounding "information" comes to you through your senses during the trading day. Be vigilant. Question everything and everyone, including me. There are no gurus except for you! Be your own guru, make your own music and sing your own song. You, more than anyone else in the world, know what is right for you. If a position is not working, it is not a good position. Get out. Cut losses. Don't allow your rat brain to dopamine you to the point where you deceive yourself by holding andhoping. Don't listen to the hype. A good position is one that makes money. A bad position is one that loses money. It is just that simple.

The financial markets and life are saturated with hype and deception. Learn to see past the veils of deception and to become alert to anything that sounds just too good to be true. If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is! The tragedy of trading is that that even the most alert and rational among us can be fooled. This is one reason why the search for trading truth is a lifetime journey, a journey that no one ever fully completes. In trading and in life, it is always about the journey.

Thanks and Good Trading!

I believe that eat knows NOTHING about PM's as he continually brags and makes fun of others who have a long and successful track record.
Only HE and few others believe he has a clue.
Eg. He started this thread because he's so starved for attention.
Thus it's virtually impossible he has any gold or silver, let alone knowledge of said PM's.

Riddle me this... If Eat Beef is starved for attention and you're smart enough to figure this out cc, then why are two out of the last three replies preceding this one by YOU? I'm honestly starting to think you're some sort of auto-posting bot program created solely for the entertainment of three or four people here .

Let me ask you this solo---If some poster here called you a retard, would you take umbrage?
He did as well as more disrespect and namecalling so your post shows either you aren't aware of that fact, or you are his sockpuppet?

Joe, what about calling someone or several someone's "buffoon's"? I await your response.

I didn't call you a retard, I asked if you were retarded.

Your posts since haven't made the question any less relavent.

Hey Beef,
I was in "sensitivity training" class last week. The lady said that we should say "challenged" rather than "retarded". Just a heads up fer ya!

[Eat Beef]

I bet she didn't like "big fat chick", either!

Nope, "Porker" wuz out too!

[Eat Beef]

Did you hear about the Southwest Airlines pilot who accidentally let a rant on what he called the "3 g's" (Gays, Grannies, and Grandes) get out over the radio? It's pretty funny, he's griping about the low dateability of flight attendants.

Our local NBC "broke" the story, and they're going on like the found the Loch Ness monster or something. Poor guy will probably get fired over it. Why is there never any sympathy for the unsympathetic?

[Gcubed]

Beef, Ya stumped me. Chit.

I met Janice two years ago at our friends Pat and Linda Gorman's Christmas party, She co-wrote a book with Pat. Very interesting lady. Pat has had a 20 year long radio show in Phoenix on KFNN.com with the likes of Bob Chapman on but suffered a stroke a few months ago and has had guest hosts until he can resume.

[<===Foolsgold]

I arrive at work tardy every day, I guess that makes me a habitual retardy and I am a buffoon too and not a very good one at that.

I must be a total loser.

My response is months ago, Scorp kindly took the time to explain some things to me, and I have NOT namecalled since. That's MONTHS G.

I for one don't believe that horse semen tastes like custard, and I will NEVER try to de-bunk my disbelief.

Legend has it that in the 1950's Shelia meant something.... no one living in Australia today will admit to knowing what that was! Now it is a word that foreigners and tourist use.... Bruce.

[Zed]

No, no, no.... you debunk the horse then you...... errrrrrr um fagigit, you'd have to be a Kiwi..... and even then it barely makes sense!

Attn. Budfox, Argentsum, and Zed:


Please stop trying to threadjack this thread, by returning it to it's original, pre threadjack, purpose.

I think I just confused myself.

[ccjoe]

I believed that beef had a brain.
Definitely not true as we can all see with his rants.

[Zed]

Beef actually runs a successful enterprise that is making a contribution to the real world, hence his obsession with reality, so I would tend to back his brain over yours! Beef is not the one making claims that sound less than credible thus the onus is one you to shut up or put up. Seriously you are coming off second best here and you barely seem to realize it. Try reasoning you posts in a more fact based, logically progressive way. Then maybe the reality of the situation will be more apparent, at this point it is anything but.

1984--Read it zed and you'll see how you just sounded with your nonsensical post.
Maybe your factless, generically sophomoric post is predicated upon no money cafe?

WOW... and not so long ago you where agreeing with my "factless, generically sophomoric posts"...

Dude I read 1984 a long time ago, required reading in school as it happens. Now would you care point out the connection between my post and that book? A big ask for an "epsilon semi moron" I know and yes that is me giving you another put up or shut up call out.

Talk about "factless, generically sophomoric posts", jeeezzzzzz...

Call me

[Eat Beef]

Hey Joe, thanks for answering my question!

[Apocalypto]

I believe I am smart. But I am not.

Call me

At least you don't question my word usage
I've answered all I want as I have remembered not to publicly masturbate as I was accused of doing.
FWI--That was not me on the grassy knoll as I've been accused of everything else.

I ain't accusing you of nothing... I'm just sayin PUT UP! --> 99% of the time you post nothing that is supported, just your opinion! Then you howl when other do like wise!

You want my tax returns?
I've given play by play from taco bell/ mcdonald's meals before metal concerts to real estate debacle. How can I put up anymore?
Should I have jim rogers call you?
You make no rational sense as everytime I put up, I'm name dropping, lying, or whatever.
You and the other nine put up ****, just babble.
I want proof that beef has a business. I think he doesn't. I think YOU are unemployed. Irons and curd and the others are liars. I want them to put up as they are full of ****.
Read 1984 as everything you say is a lie.
It does NOT wash in the real world.
And yes I am now accusing you of being a fraud.
You have given no proof.
I have a talent for knowing who is honest and who is not.
A perfect example is Shortstack. I can tell he is honest and knows more than everyone here put together. That is the truth.

LOL....

I'm a full time trader/investor and doing very nicely thanks.

Now look cc, if that is really what you think, you would not know honest if it bit you in the a$$. Man you can't even handle a rational argument ergo your acceptance of SS's faulty logic about secondary markets. Honest.... LOL that little chit will make up anything to try and win a point, he has pull some pretty extreme moves in the past --> funny ones really! Cripes he can't even accept that the gold and silver markets are relatively small in dollar terms and that is a good thing. He is hung up on some big is better trip... cultural thing with you lot I suppose, quantity over quality and all that.

What is the 1984 obsession? Jeeeez at least use some of the books constructions if you are going to spout its relevance. LOL, you should work for the "Ministry of Truth", seems obvious you have not read it!

Tax returns? No I will settle for a coherent argument --> after all YOU are making the claims here. The others are not swinging their appendages around with wild claims... so what do they have to put up?

You want me to put up? What claim that I have made would you like me to back up? Link to the claim please.

Beef.... hmmmm well now what do you think some one trading feeders and calling himself "Eat Beef" might do? Hint... he may just have a little bit of land.

Call me Joe! It will be fun.... promise! Or are you the real rude road rage warrior hiding behind two ton of car?
