Fills and Market Makers and their Machines

[nickola.pazderic]

I think my question shows my naivete and lack of understanding of the size and character of global equities and derivatives markets. I'm very glad to have your thoughts on it. I only see the world of money from my tiny space in my home office. At times it seems I'm alone with the market. So like a penitent before the cross, I make my calls, believing I'm being heard and that the market will somehow bestow riches. I understand the entire situation anthropologically; I've chronicled folk religious practices in anthropological journals and books. And when I hear of other speculators speak of "the market", I know they, too, apprehend it as all powerful and somehow concerned with them. But this knowledge does not help my decision making. Only clear insights into the business itself can allow me to break from the trap in which consciousness falls.

thanks always,
