A few years ago I had a basil plant. Unfortunately I was away a lot so didn't water it and it died. I now have 2 basil plants, 1 parsley plant, 1 lavender plant, 1 mint plant and 1 rosemary plant. Despite some bad patches of near death, due to the same problem with the first basil plant, only the mint has died.

 

Just realised I've been a much more successful gardener since I used more capital to acquire more assets and diversified my portfolio.

If a person has the skills needed to keep something alive and doing well, that may translate into other areas of their life. It's about paying attention, noticing what needs to be done, and attending to things in a timely fashion. It might not be a bad thing to look at an investment account like a plant or a garden that needs to be tended to in order for it to grow. There is a point of view that goes along with keeping something alive and thriving. You wouldn't want your plants or your garden to die, (or worse, your pet) so what's it going to take to make sure they are doing well and healthy? There is the aspect of being "in tune" and paying attention to possible subtle changes before it's too late.

I grow about 5 Basil plants per season. I make an excellent Pesto, if I do say so myself.

What’s your recipe?

 

We like it with

way too many pinenuts,

too much olive oil,

an average amount of parmesan, and

less than an average amount of fresh picked basil buds, flowers, and tiny leaves (instead of regular sized basil leaves), and a

short squeeze of lemon…

yum ...decadence!

I'm getting hungary!

 

My recipe is about the same as yours... but, I do add a few tablespoons of Butter ( depending on how portions I am making ).

 

 

I don't have the time at the moment, but by this time tomorrow I will post the recipe for a Corsican Dish made with Basil, Tomatoes, and Brie Cheese. The mixture is set on the window ( or outside ) to be cooked by the Sun, then served on steaming hot Pasta (I prefer linguine ).

Ooo ZDO I never use the flowers in pesto but have some on the plant now, I'll give it a go. Seems traders like making pesto (that's the reason I bought the first plant lol)

MFX, Haven't tried butter. Hm?... have always just gone with light olive oil. Don't like anything interfering with the pinenut and basil flavors :) . (I do use the hard stuff, evo, in the red ital. dishes, like the recipe you're talking about, etc.)

 

iws, yep the flowers, buds, and tiny leaves bring the flavor without the bite that mature leaves have...

Ok, this is a dish that originated on the Island of Corsica.

It works best on a hot, sunny day.

 

3 cups of Basil. just the leaves, shredded or sliced lenthwise.

4 Large Tomatoes, chopped.

1 pound Brie Cheese, rind removed.

1 cup Olive Oil ( I prefer Sicilian unfiltered Extra Virgin ).

6 Cloves Garlic. Finely minced.

1 LB Lingine, the fresher the better.

 

 

In a large bowl add the oil and the Garlic. Remember, only the pata is going to be cooked in the conventional sense, so you want to get that Garlic marinating as soon as possible.

 

Shred your Basil or slice lenthwise. As little stem as possible. Add this to the bowl.

Chop the Tomatoes, a little larger than cube size. Add this to the bowl.

 

Next, remove the rind from the cheese and pull it off in cube size chunks. Add this to the bowl.

Salt and pepper to taste. Give the contents a mixing and place in direct sunlight for 3 hours or so. Cover the bowl with a kitchen or dish towel.

Prepare the pasta just prior to serving. Add the steaming pasta to the mixture in the bowl, toss well and serve.

 

Bon Appetit !

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
