Spiritual Trading

I attended a session with Dr.Van Tharp last night. For those of you who don't know him, he is a trading coach/trainer. The session was small and intimate where he spoke about the importance of psychology in trading (shares, options etc).

He gave us an example of someone in India he had met who can meditate from 9pm to 6am and is a very successful trader. Van mentioned he thought this person was 'weird' but that the spiritual/mental state he  gets into gives him the edge to trade successfully. Apparently his 'higher self' also told him to clear all his positions and stop trading just before the GFC hit! hmmm...

So, I got to thinking about my dream that I had when I bought into MGX. I had been doing yoga for a couple of months and I dreamt that the stock crashed. Sure enough it did and hasn't moved up since. Taking a massive loss and kicking myself for it.

What is my next prediction? I need to do some yoga before I can answer this!
