“Easter occurs on different dates each year because, like the Jewish Passover, it is based upon the vernal equinox, that dramatic moment when the hours of the day-light and the hours of darkness at last draw parallel and then the light finally and triumphantly wins out. Thus Easter is always fixed as the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. It's a cosmic, solar, and lunar event as deeply rooted in religious traditions originating from sun-god worship as one could conceivably imagine.” YearsFirstsDifferentMomentsLightLastsWinningHoursReligiousDarknessSunImagineEventsMoonWorshipSpringDrawsTraditionFollowingFixedDramaticSundayCosmicRootedEasterParallelsFull MoonReligious TraditionsEquinoxSun God Author:Tom Harpur

“In many ways, large profits are even more insidious than large losses in terms of emotional destabilization. I think it's important not to be emotionally attached to large profits. I've certainly made some of my worst trades after long periods of winning. When you're on a big winning streak, there's a temptation to think that you're doing something special, which will allow you to continue to propel yourself upward. You start to think that you can afford to make shoddy decisions. You can imagine what happens next. As a general rule, losses make you strong and profits make you weak.” ThinkingWayLongMadeImportantBigsHappensNextWinningStrongTermLossDecisionImagineWorstSpecialEmotionalPeriodsWeakTradeProfitTemptationSomething SpecialStreaksInsidious Author:William Eckhardt
