will trail that protective stop while adding to these longs

did not want to have a position over the weekend
Good weekend to all

off topic: 20 years ago, 9/11 hapened. i rarely post on weekends, but this is a date to do so:

although i´m not american, this was a day i´ll never forget. i think most of us who love the usa will remeber till the end of our lives where we had been, what we thought and what we did at that moment.

i was a student with a trading account. when i woke up after a hard days night, i switched on tv, n-tv which has been the partner-sender of cnn. when i saw the live-pictures of the first plane hitting wtc, my first move was to log-in to my trading account and went short.

than the second plane hit the other twin-tower, both a symbol of ny that have been shown so often in so many american tv-series i watched since i´ve had been a child, and i closed shorts and concentrated on the headlines.

after i had realized what had happened, i felt not only deeply sad but also ashamed that i had been making money on what in fact was the worst attac america had ever hit. i thought to myself: "you had been on the same side of those evil forces, and same as them you made your bucks - shame on you!" 3000 christians, jews and muslims dead because they hate our way of life.

20 years later, those who had given the designer of this attac a safe place rule afghanistan again. a shame.

what i´ve learned? if ever again (god forbid!) something like this will happen again and i make money, i´ll donate every single eur i made to the victims.

what have the western politicians learned? NOTHING - they are ready to send billions of $+€ and import tens of thousands of them - BIG mistake! among those who had been evacuated from kabul by the bundeswehr, there had been (by offical statement of the bmi!) rapers, killers, child abusers and potential terrorists.

59 dead german soldiers, 1 trillion USD costs for nato and what for? NOTHING!

they laugh at us, that´s all.

btw: the only conqueror who did it right in afghanistan was alexander the great - got in, faught hard, won and most important: got out.
this land is a graveyard of great empires:
britons got in and tried to stay,
cccp got in and tried to stay,
nato got in and tried to stay.
all failed.

Changing cultural mindset is difficult specially people who prefer to cover their women head to toe and live in 7th century mentality.Its western mistake to assume everyone wants democracy, freedom social equality well some countries, tribes prefer otherwise.Lesson learned after trillions and lives wasted...I feel bitter and sad for parents who gave their sons and daughters lives for nothing.
Peace

that´s true: the feeling of bitterness is also on my toung. so many wasted years, so many wasted lives, so many wasted billions that have could well spend on better things with a more secure outcome. the more i look on western strategies to change culture, the more i think it´s a waste of time and resources. we should focus more on the things that are not good here than to look to other places.
