For as long as I can remember I have always been into cars, I remember when I was around ten years old, I could turn my back to the street and tell you what make of car just drove past just by listening to the sound of the engine. My older brother and cousins were auto mechanics and I loved to help out in the garage I wore grease on my clothes like a badge of honor. To this day Im still an automobile fanatic, Im just not crazy about getting dirty anymore. My favorites are Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin and Bentley. My favorite sport is football or as you Americans call it, soccer. Now this is my idea of a true world sport, this game is played professionally on every continent in the world with a slightly different style in every country. In my opinion Pele was the greatest player to ever grace the sport. Brazil, Arsenal and Bristol Rovers are the teams I have followed since I was a child. I also am a huge basket ball and football fan, go Knicks and Giants. Now Im very big on baseball, the games too slow for my taste but if I had to choose between the two New York teams I would go with the Mets. I am really into self improvement it is my sincere belief that every single adult human being of sane mind has absolute control of his or her destiny. Its not about what happens to you, its how you react to it that counts. It all starts with how you think. Your thoughts control your feelings, your feelings control your actions and your actions control your life. So make the decision to make your life great and go for it.

My favorite movie of all time has got to be Scarface with Al Pachino. The Character Tony Montana came to the United States on a mission, he was a natural leader who was fearless, he said what he meant and meant what he said. He created his world and was willing to die for his beliefs. This criminal captain of industry of course was a work of fiction but the essence of the character resonates with my beliefs. Being a car loving gear head I love movies with a good car chase, the movie Ronin with Robert De Nero stands out as one my favorites. Not just because of the car chase scenes but also the plots, sub plots and treachery. Predicting the outcome of the movie was almost impossible. I love an unpredictable movie that can keep me guessing. I love action packed works of fiction that showcase the creative genius of the writer, such as James Bond movies, Star Wars and the Jason Bourne series. These movies take you by the hand and lead you on an exiting journey.

I love all kinds of music, particularly when I can relate to the lyrics of the song. To me music is the ultimate form of human expression, I start my day with the song Walking On Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves each morning as it sets the tone for my entire day. Bob Marley in my opinion was pure genius he was like the microphone God used to communicate with us, I could list the songs he wrote that I love but that would take all day so Ill just mention just a few like Exodus, Redemption Songs, No Woman Nuh Cry and Zimbabwe. I love any type of music where the artist can express their passion and evoke an empathic reaction in the listener. Reggae, Hip Hop, R&B, Rock & Roll, Country, Punk Rock and even some Love Songs tend to stir these feelings in me.

When it comes to books I have many favorites I love books that promote the personal power that we all possess such as The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, Anastasia by Vladimir Megre, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles and The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T Harv Eker to name a few. Creative genius spans all aspects of human endeavor and trading is no exception as a self directed investor my self I have read many books on the subject. Hot Commodities by Jim Rogers and Soros on Soros, Staying Ahead of the Curve by George Soros. These books give you an insight into the thought processes of two individuals who have an uncanny grasp of the fundamentals that drive the markets. In my humble opinion these are two of the greatest trading minds on the planet. I wish I could tell you that I like classic novels and had some recommendations for you, but my brain is wired a certain way and novels for me are like television, not efficient use of the one commodity we all share equally time.
