Patuca I have to admit that was actually quite good and I couldn't help but to laugh. I did think that you were going to say there was no real answer because I just could not see any.

 

It's strange how there are sometimes different ways of looking at things which are right in front of us, but until we are told about them (or until somehow we arrive at a new way of thinking, or we get a new piece of information), we can be blind to them. Thanks, even if your way of going about the riddle was... unorthodox.

 

The real question should be - why did the man let his beloved dog run around the bridge - across the railway tracks! - instead of leading him safely over the bridge? :)

Yup! You got it. But just was showing an example of that type of riddle.
laugh if you want but the joke is on you. none of you smart asses guessed it. you easily guess a clone because you now know the answer. the more you mock the more it shows your ignorance! the more you tell on yourself. no need to be a sore loser. just admit you couldn't figure it out. traders that lose always blame everyone else and everything else but themselves.:haha: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

thanks. unlike others that get pissed because they couldn't figure out a stupid riddle so they either attack the riddle or me for posting the stupid riddle. :rofl: :rofl:

 

could be the leash broke and the dog went lickety split around the bridge and owner saw he was going to come out on the other side so the owner continued on over the bridge.

I thought the riddle was really pretty good, myself, although you could have given up the answer weeks ago :)

 

Did anyone know that Poddles are rated the second most intelligent dog breed, scoring above German Shepherds? Now there's a suprising fact for you . . .

I'm not too sure about that. I have a poodle and tried to teach him to trade. Had to give up when I realized he could only win 3 out of 5.

Hi Roger,

 

Apparently Border Collies are the best for trading with because they're used to running rings around sheep! :rofl:

Yes!! :applaud: SIUYA wins a party size carton of smarties.Anyone get the answer to no 1 yet?

 

Nope. Lee was in "Man with the Golden Gun", so I considered Gold-Man, and seafood . . . fish have scales, and I'm sure one of the banks have a pair of scales as a logo but . . . No.

 

Man with the Golden Gun was a Bond film and Salomon Brothers were big in bonds and sound a bit like 'salmon' but . . . My lateral barrel-scraping just nose-dived into desperate anti-semiticism, didn't it?

 

Shame, I just fancy some smarties.

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
