The real and proven problem solving approach, ask for more details if interested.

1. On the edge

2. The seamless time never
has an edge.
Situations have it for one who
is able to see it.
Human minds do have an ability
to have an edge.

3. We know how to deal with
some situations some times, but
never all situations all the time.
Eventually what matters is when
we do not have edge over the
situation…

4. Transformative thinking
ways alone can take us
beyond...
Share some thoughts connected to this on
the background of market melt down in
USA & elsewhere.
You will realize it applies to all human encounters – within and
outside.

6. …what the split
bailout vote really
says...?
Nearly 50% decision
makers still have the
doubts..
Unwilling to believe
what the leaders
say..about the urgency.

7. Proposal for capital market
“bailout” , the economy
“bailout” and life of average
taxpayer not linked
So many questions still not
answered.
Conscious citizens request their representatives
”Don't do anything that
–
even hints of a bailout for
Wall Street executives.”

8. .. if learned congressmen
have the doubts, how the
common man must be
looking at it?
Some people with bags of
money are waiting for
distress sellout of
mortgages by lenders.
Not surprising at all in a free economy.

9. quot;Every
The biggest irony of the situation is that
American who has played
it safe and smart to avoid
debt is being asked to
spend the rest of his or
her life paying off the
debts of Washington and
Wall Street”

10. Mr. Market desperate
for bail out,
reacts with lost 777
index points, says
more than the
numbers-
“We very badly want
this bail out”
Can “free market”
sustain in such times?

11. Mr. Market devalued worth of floating
securities by US $ 1.2 trillion…without any
meaningful economic activity – just sentiments of not
having the money that is badly needed to keep the
bubble inflated.
… and it recovered 400+ points without bailout coming…
what it means? Lost some and regained on third day..
The real problem is funding for the basic
economic activities.. The lenders &
Banks who help businesses and
household financially active in the
market , but have lost the money.
Unless they recover they just cannot
think of capital markets for more equity.

12. Has any of the market men
come out in open – clean before
the people and promised to do
something to boost the
confidence?
quot;Everyone knows something
has to be done, but they don't
want to take the hit if
everything blows upquot;

13. As it is, the indexes showed higher Price
Earning ratios.
Too much money was chasing too few
securities through derivative route.
Now the losses are reflecting
through lower index.
A market correction?
It is no secret that the S&P 500, measured by historical norms of price to earnings ratios, is
still overpriced even after the carnage of the two year bear market.

14. lesser
Real cause seems to be
consumer spending &
investing in near future.
And why they will spend less ?
they find their present and
future income and credits
insufficient to live the way they lived
so far. They are unable to discount the
uncertainty.
So what’s the solution?

15. quot;This is something all of us will
swallow hard and go
forward with.“
..unless corrected in right manner.
But in the first place why it happens at all?
“In an upturn, employees scheme to obtain extra
resources and the biggest possible bonus. In a
downturn, they desperately try to defend their
empires and avoid the sack - for themselves or
for valuable colleagues in their teams.”

despite being familiar with
strategies, systems, and
money management
techniques, trading success
depends on trader’s psychological
state of mind.

20. Clarity & sense of direction is the need of the time for lasting
solution. A good thought model is desperately needed. It MUST
evolve from the diagnosis & prognosis – with focus on causes
& cause of causes.
..and how?
A prognostic scenario..
360 degree clarity out of confusion…
Sense of direction…
Multidirectional force deployment..
Ability to imagine, handle and see through
the situation..

21. Is it possible for human mind?
Given good
intentions, why not?
Every individual has, his or her, own causes,
adding to the circumstantial causes.

22. ..how one looks at a transaction -logically or
psychologically?
should every trade stand on its own merits?
Theoretically, yes, but in real life it doesn't
always work that way.
..one is likely to manage a transaction
differently depending on whether the
previous trade was a winner or a loser.
..or some other compelling variable or risk
or profit perception..

23. ..as the stress builds up, the
immune system runs down,
leaving the individual prone to
physical, as well as mental illness.
Regular bouts of sickness can be a
clear indicator of the impact of
stress.

24. The mental illnesses range from
anxiety to depression, which seem
to stop individuals continuing in
an intolerable situation.
It immobilizes them and compels
a reassessment of goals. After the
adjustment they are mentally
much stronger than
before………….

25. ….while confused
perceptions change at
much faster speed than the
realities.
..in crises an abrupt transition
free agent to being
from being a
answerable to others is
profoundly shocking.

26. Traders should be able to make
quick decisions and have quick
reflexes. Their action plan is mostly
predetermined, yet they must be
ready to abort their mission at
any stage….

27. ..changing perceptions create
superfluous realities
to swing the sentiments.

28. ….especially sentiments of
who do not
those,
possess the insight
about how values are created
or they get lost.

29. evolving
…endlessly
complex forces and
circumstance demand
one to prove one’s worth and
achieve what one wishes.

30. ..in such dynamic situation this
perceptions fuel the
situation with
adrenaline leading to
intense stress in one’s mind

31. ..then situation graduates
emotional
near to the
explosion, which can be
triggered by possibly any
thing.

32. In such dynamics situations
no single thought,
idea or action is
seems effective.

33. the inner feedback is
either absent, subtle
or unclear; one does not
understand exactly what is
necessary to be effective.

34. ..the time - every moment of
it - is of great essence.
The dynamics allows
no liberty to
absolutely
deliberate over the
situation.

35. …however, between the event
and one's response there is
always a inconceivably thin
time space where lies
freedom and power to choose
and form a response.

36. one
..in this thin space
meets inner challenge
forcing to evaluate one's
self and
deservedness.

37. ..the
positive feedback
inspires to go beyond
the superficialities
and inadequacy of
conscious strengths.

38. heart of
..entering the
the storm and
uncertainties,
powered with
subconscious, one
confronts the deepest fears so that the
knowledge of true self is revealed.
The subconscious is much bigger storehouse of memories and
thinking speed compared to the short term memory and
thinking speed of conscious mind.

39. ..this may not deliver a
perfect solution
instantly, but always there is a
realization that there are
ways beyond the
known as thought possible
so far. This directs a search for new choices.

40. embraces
.. one then
the true, expanded
self and destroys
the old ways
creatively.

41. ….proactive process
gets generated by the use of
self-
new gift :
awareness,
conscience,
imagination - a
cohesive total way.

42. Self-
This is expanded
awareness which is
crucial factor that allows one
transcend the
to
known and one’s
knowledge in totality. This totality
naturally mobilizes one’s full force for acting on
such decisions.

43. rediscovery of
This is a
the self - that propels
one to venture beyond the convictions and
to choose a response that is based on
totality of vision
focused on
intentions/dreams.
The uncertainties are reduced & knowledge
based probabilities stand improved .

44. In this state of mind one
leaves no adversity
untouched, no fear
unattended, no worry
about rejection or
isolation.

45. With such rediscovery, one
emotional,
gets into a
rational & spiritual
harmony which intensely
carries one beyond analytical
rationality & control by the
worn-out values - a sheer
ecstasy…

46. ..a trance - a flow
that will break the boulders on
the way. This is the unknown
one's
force -
connectedness to
his or her higher
self.

47. creates
..a person
problems, problems can
create a person or they can
break one as well… it is a
matter of choice and not a
chance.
Forget the bailout and add any other situation here
and think this way..

48. The last key to achieving
mastery over the forces is
believing that one can
actually do it. Everyone is
capable of being a
successful and having an
edge if they truly believe
they can be – this way.
