My brain is fried from learning. I came in the office and studied harmony trading for 2 hrs and 9 minutes. For someone like me that's similar to 35 years in solitary confinement.
Interestingly enough, harmony trading depends in harmonic movements in the market...while I learn or trade, I listen to classical piano pieces. Music needs harmony to sound beautiful and markets need harmony to move up and down. People want harmony in life because that usually leads them to believe it's stable and peaceful. People misunderstand harmony for tranquility.
There's too much chaos in the markets and maybe in our lives. That's probably what everyone feels. But if I had to think what harmony meant to me...I'd say it was order in chaos; not that the chaos is gone but it makes the chaos ok - maybe even likable.
Harmony itself is up and down, the vertical aspect of music (don't rip on me Julie...Julie's def thinking "Kevin's attempt to sound smart = fail.) Markets are the same and so life in harmony is that too. But the thing with harmony is that it sounds damn good. People that can identify harmony and music understand it and appreciate it on a deeper level than those of us who think it's just sounds. Market gurus that identify harmonic movements can foresee price movements earlier than most of us can dream of. For people that claim they want harmony in life...well those people usually avoid conflict and emotions because they think living in harmony means steady flat and no ups and downs.
Life in harmony, with it's ups and downs, is a beautiful thing. It's being able to identify those ups and downs that bring us tranquility - the peace of mind when things spin out of control. We hold on to the ups and ride down the drops knowing that soon a reversal could happen and when it does it's ok. A life that's constantly up isn't harmony. Even if it did exist where would you learn to appreciate? A life that's always down isn't harmony is either. You wouldn't know what pain is because you don't know what happiness is either. Life with out harmony doesn't ever exist because we'd be unable to comprehend feelings. God never made us that way.
Today while learning the markets I've realized that Godlike investors like Buffet are in tune with the ups and downs...great composers and musicians know where to place which note to make beautiful and heartfelt pieces...and God composed our lives like an elaborate score...the earth His sheet, time as measures and we are the notes.
Have faith and find where you're supposed to be so His song is a magnificent one =).
encouragement at it's best
