A panacea? A dream? A great learning experience along the way, for sure!
Take action, be responsible, be accountable.

“If you don’t like how things are, change it! You are not a tree.”
Jim Rohn (often quoted as “If you don’t like where you are, move!” – I like both personally).
Information
“Knowledge is power. Information is power. The secreting or hoarding of knowledge or information may be an act of tyranny camouflaged as humility.”
Robin Morgan.

About
Born and bred in Melbourne, Australia, I’d taken the trading route of “buying and holding” shares fresh out of high school many years ago under the advice of a stock broker. After having taken a few “hits” to my investment portfolio in the past, I decided to undergo an educational phase to learn more about the stock market and various types of investment – Safety in the Market (SITM), Optionetics, swing-trading, Elliott-Wave trading, and technical analysis indicators. As such, my focus on stock market investments has evolved and developed into a more systematic and disciplined process focussing more on technical analysis and trend-following (which is more “in the moment”), rather than fundamental analysis (which tends to be quite outdated compared to current market action).
