Holy grail= bank fdr
u are seeking 'holy grail' in speculation.. 'farming', I suppose is one of the oldest professions that mankind knows..(after the hunter-gatherer stage..I suppose).
I spent a little time staying in an apple orchard in himachal...spent a little time with the owner..
seems the way the business runs...
people have apple trees on their farms/orchards.
the more enterprising ones pick up others' farms on yearly contract.
they tend the farms thruout the year..ie. watering. putting insectsides,tending to insect infected branches(they actually paint them if they are infected or sumthing similar , frm what I could gather) and various other things that I probably could not gather....
finally they are dependent upon the weather. ie. rains or probably 'the lack of it' at the right time..
even after they have a good harvest there is no gauranty that they wd be able to sell their produce at the right price..they have to sell before a better quality apple from let's say 'kinnaur' or probably 'kashmir' comes into the mkt.
do 'they' know that they wd end the year in profit' at the start of the year.,I do not think so.. if u ask 'him', u w'd probably get the reply that this is how it is supposed to be done and 'God willing' the results wd be 'good'..
that to me is the 'holy grail'.. u trade 'right'..u do everything right (as per ur system..whatever it may be..as long as it is well researched), u wd definitly get a few bad weeks or months here or there.. but on balance u wd outperform that 'bank fdr' mentioned above...and that to me is the 'holy grail'.
regards
