Please correct me if I am wrong or missing something here but the only way that I can see how the Commandment of Need would truly work with trading would be selling into strength, or from the short perspective, buying into weakness. But I can't see how it can be looked at on a mass or viral scale because it's limited to the trader's amount of positive or negative value for exchange. Otherwise, I don't really recognize a fulfillment of Need as outlined in the book.

My current plan (though), while using trading as a vehicle, is to go long and short in stocks until I have enough to go long and short in oil futures, which provides much more leverage than stock. The number 2740 is a number that I believe I can average daily with trading oil contracts, but with more practice, trading rules and time. After that point, it's fuzzy and needs to be better defined and connected to an idea that I believe is everything that The Millionaire Fastlane principles outline. But being a millionaire first (I think) is one of the barriers to Entry for this idea of mine, which the plan I believe will greatly satisfy both variables of The Law of Effection, scale and magnitude, in an enormous way.

So I do see a way that trading could eventually satisfy the Commandment of Need, but at the level I currently am at, does it?

and,

Is trading truly Fastlane, or just the slowlane/sidewalk in disguise?
