The Grind: Small Account Market Making
One Trade is Legion The Grind is not about a single trade. It is about stacking both buy and sell orders in a series of trades in order to profit off the spread while helping the market maintain liquidity. This is quite a different view of markets than taken by the average trader. It is […]

Pavlov’s Audience
Classical Conditioning and the Invention of the Laugh Track I didn’t know what irony was when I first watched Hogan’s Heroes. I just knew I liked it. The theme song made me feel something, some strange blend of rebellion and optimism, like whistling past a graveyard. It was funny, but not in the way other […]
The Blind Seer
The book lay on the stone table, its leather binding cracked with age, golden-edged pages catching what little light filtered through the basement’s single, dust-covered window. I hesitated before approaching it, stories of its power hanging in my mind like cobwebs in the corners of the room. When I finally opened it, the air shifted. […]
Birthday Ticket

The only acknowledgment of his existence came in brief, rehearsed phrases. “I bought a ticket for your birthday,” they’d say, offering perfunctory smiles before dissolving back into the stream […]

There’s a lot more to the story, but I figured the location of the treasure would be what interested most people. I originally came across the story of Forrest Fenn’s Treasure just after […]
San Jacinto Cowboy Camping
What a fantastic night! Hiked the PCT partway up San Jacinto, not as far as I’d hoped but I had a painful blister from the hole in my toe socks. I’d drained some of it yesterday morning but it came back with a vengeance. I cowboy camped 150 ft west of the water faucet off […]

I managed to get to the Metrolink Station to catch the last bus towards Cabazon. From the Morongo Casino I walked back to the PCT and what I hoped would be a warmer stretch of trail. Only it was so late and I was limping from a few newly formed blisters that I didn’t exactly […]
PCT Stealth Camping Location Ruined
East of Cabazon, CA on the PCT Watching trains of double stacked cargo containers roll by, each one filling the horizon from right to left. All the way. Windmills on the hills and 4.5 miles to go before a campsite. It’s not even 9 am and I have been sitting here for a while enjoying […]
