Barca was a machine against RM; blew them off the field; Arsenal just showed how to crack Man U with short fast passes, where Barca excels. Will MU be able to use size and strength to penetrate the Barca box? RM couldnt and they were just as big and fast as MU. I love MU […]

Reflecting on the “Flavor of the Month” at the High Reliability interest group on LinkedIn
seems to me that FOTM get their sharp edges rubbed off in practice (or subjected to pressure-thru-use at the industrial level) until what remains, if anything is a gem or simply the speck of sand that became the pearl.

A belief mapping exercise concerning intraday trading
Stream-of-consciousness belief-mapping exercise on initial stops, moving to no lose, and intraday trade strategies Small fast losses are an expected result in my intraday trading because I am specifically looking for reversals that explode, with tight stops.
