Hi everyone. This is z3phyr. I am an engineer by training and have been in the profession for almost 15 years. I consider myself a technologist who is interested in all kinds of hard-core technology and engineering ideas. 

For the last two years, I've also taken up trading and have continued to practice my skills. I've been doing fairly well with stock trading, making about 40%/year gain in two consecutive years so far. I also have a futures account where I trade commodities. Performance on that account has been less stellar, in fact, as of today I'm in the negative. But that's OK, I consider this a learning process and I'm happy that I still have most of the initial capital. 

I'm hoping to post some interesting and random stuff here. It may trading ideas, chart analysis of common (US) stocks, nerdy stuff, etc.
