What's the Point of Predicting Anything?

Inevitability is an illusion, at least when we look at historic events. So much depends on accidents and coincidences, unexpected weather, unpredictable personalities and bizarre perceptions.

The fact is, there is no narrative to history and there's certainly no pre-ordained happy ending, so why should we even try to predict what will happen? This applies to the financial markets as much as it does to political careers, and, as we've seen in recent weeks, just a few political careers can have enormous and unexpected influence on the markets.

Don't be fooled by the people who say they saw it coming. No one could really predict what Berlusconi was going to do next. No one anticipated the Greek referrendum fiasco. No one knows for sure whether other Eurozone countries are going to be sucked in or whether Italy can still be turned around (their exports are apparently still very strong and they should have a sound economy...)

So why should anyone try to make a living with trading in this volatile age? Well, in this case there doesn't have to be a why, just as there doesn't have to be an overarching reason for the events of history. The fact is, people do, and people make a living doing it.

The key is to not be too ambitious: not to gamble more than you can afford to lose; not to imagine that one success makes you an expert; not to believe that any system is really foolproof or infalible.

In other words, keep it small and simple and you'll probably be safe.

You don't even have to invest much to learn a simple and safe system. While you could spend £249, £2,000 or more, you can learn the simple Breakfast Trading System for only £97. A sum you will probably make back in the first week, although you have 30 days to decide if it's really for you.

You won't need to predict what will happen tomorrow, you won't need to read Berlusconi's mind (or anyone else's). All you'll need to do is watch what has already happened (overnight in the foreign markets), look for the unmistakeable signal that tells you what to do now and, in a few minutes, you will either have made your profit for the day or not.  

That's it. All done and dusted before you've finished your breakfast and started your day. Each week, with small investments and a strictly limited risk, you could make back that £97, or you could have pocketed two or three hundred pounds or over a thousand - and all tax free.

Here's how you can try Breakfast Trading for 30 days.
