Closure

I am moving my writing to a brand new Wordpress website which is under design. It will be called globexguru and should launch sometime in September.

There are three primary reasons for the move.

1. I just dont "dig" this format. I have tried it, not just with this blog, but with my other blogs, and it feels like a linked list ( a paradigm from my programming background ). I hear a lot of good things about Wordpress and have tried my hand at it. I believe it is called Web 2.0, though I must admit I have no idea what that means. No problems - I am getting it set up by a top-notch professional.

2. I visualize this effort a bit along the lines of some sites out there like Traders Helping Traders. I will get in some more contributors, all experts in their areas, to write on my new site. It will be a lot more interactive, colorful and grabbing. I just dont see that happening with this blogger format.

3. This is my business. All said and done, I am not doing this for information dissemination or any such noble cause. I am one of the very few traders out there who are making 50% CAGR here and now, with a hypothetical model which can extend this to 70% CAGR over the long term. I intend to show this clearly, not just with snapshots of my account statements. There will be trades, charts, bulletins, videos and a lot more. There has to be publicity, and SEO just doesnt work well enough with blogger.

I am sure that those who understand and appreciate what I am doing would like to trade with me, or even better, to let me auto-trade their accounts exactly like I trade mine. Interactive Brokers, where I trade, has a cool system which enables this sort of thing. I will put up all the details on my new site.

See you soon on Globex Guru!
