Sunny Days, Zen, and Trading
It’s a glorious day in Boston with temps expected to be somewhere around 80. You can bet I’m going to get off the desk and outside to soak in some of the rays! 
This morning I posted in my trading education blog a mention of a movie I certainly didn’t relate to trading back when I first saw it. The flick was A Circle of Iron, which I must have first watched in the middle 1980s, though it was released a few years before that. I recently watched it again thanks to one of the free movie channels on my cable system. The story underlying the movie was actually co-written by Bruce Lee as The Silent Flute and has a very Zen flavor.
I wonder if The Financial Philosopher has ever watched it.
I’m not going to call the production values or the fight scenes (it is a Kung Fu film, after all) spectacular, but that’s not the main point. It’s definitely a film with a moral to it – and one which definitely relates to trading.
Not that I’ve been doing much of the latter today. The set-ups just haven’t been that great as yet. That could change, though.
