I'm a Petroleum Engineer, and know all about oil and how it's produced and refined, and I know when all of the gov't reports are going to come out and what the effect of supply and demand are, but 4 years of learning about oil or gas or gold or a currency or country isn't going to help you in trading it.

Hello Dales. That's why many traders use Technical Analysis to help them determine the long term trends that are the embodiment of supply and demand fundamentals. Thanks for sharing with the thread!

Such a great video on Austrian economics and the destructive nature of the Feds actions recently.

I thought I would share the article with the new investors/traders here.

Presenting Capital-Based Macroeconomics, An Overview Of The Austrian School And The Business Cycle | zero hedge

It's such tragedy that decisions are being made on such a grand scale based on a flawed doctrine, they are being tried time and time again with the same result...failure.

If people wanted to fix america the exact opposite of what is being done must be done.

Interests rates must be allowed to rise, consumption must be decreased and savings must be increased....then the earlier stages of production will take on more investment for future production.

The problem is the curve has been distorted so much that the depression that must ensue will take us back to the stone age.

It's so simple it's a tragedy...
