In these days of uncertainty, the polarization of opinion on the economy and the market can be disconcerting. Waiting for the Greek Parliament to vote on the austerity package that will either pave the way for a long-term economic bailout or dig a hole for a near-term economic default can make one anxious. Thinking about the possibility of the U.S. not raising its debt ceiling is distressing. Trying to figure out if the recent quarter in the global economy is a one-off or if it is a sign of more weakening to come is tiring. So, when a reader writes in and tells me something good, I lap it up like a kitten over a bowl of fresh milk. Me likey, and I am appreciative.

Personally, when I decided to learn about trading and investing in the market, I had little understanding of the reality, the process, the context, or the work necessary to get it right. So, I jumped into the shallow end of the pool and began splashing around. Every day, I read this or looked at that, or talked to this person, or watched that. I just began learning. After a while, like working a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces began to fit together and a picture began to form. And like the jigsaw puzzle, the more the picture forms, the easier it becomes to figure out where the remaining pieces belong.
Eventually, the puzzle comes together and you are left with an image, a sense of accomplishment, and, most importantly, the ability to figure out how to analyze the disparate pieces on your way to putting it all together.
