engineers, doctors, traders!!!

6 years ago
i went to capital book shop
in sector 17 in chandigarh
looking for some good books
on trading.

i was directed to a section
which contained
the books related to stock trading.

i was a newbee in the market
and was looking for a lean crisp book
to help me learn trading.

and when i reached the section
i was shocked to see
the range of trading books on offering.

they had hundreds of
big, fat and intimidating books
on trading.

on one side of the trading section
was the engineering section for the upcoming engineers

and on the other side
was the medicine section for budding doctors.

the shocking thing was
the trading section
was as big
and it had as many monsterous books
than both other sections!

for once
i even decided to forget about learning trading.
after having completed engineering
i was left with little capacity
to sink more into books!

--

last week
i again went to the same book store
arguably one of the best in chandigarh
and found
that the section on trading
had swelled
and eaten
and claimed
the "real estate"
allocated to the engineering and medicine section!

almost half of the floor
was full of books and videos etc.
on trading!

the thought flashed my mind
"how much have these guys
complicated trading?
they made it more difficult
than engineering and medicine degree!

there are more
technical indicators
and patterns
and theories
and methods
and laws
and do's and don'ts
and lessons
and facts
and figures
and graphs
in trading
than are there in engineering
and medicine!

there are more courses
and seminars
and workshops
and refresher trainings
in trading
than are there
for existing doctors
and engineers!

great to be trader!
