Don't Forget the Salt



Don't Forget the Salt

by Blake Young

Hello trader, 

As many of you know, I like to bake.  I make multiple types of artisan breads, basic sandwich breads, and rolls. 

It's a fun hobby that our family and friends benefit from, since we can't possibly eat everything we make. 

Having been a baker for decades, you might think I have the process down to perfection — and you'd be wrong. I forget the salt.

When I bake bread, I take the time to make sure the water is the right temperature, the starter is active, and the measurements and texture are on point. 

Yet while carefully tending to all those important steps, I forget to add the salt. More times than I can count. I put the dough in the oven, bake the bread, cool it, slice it — and then I'm greatly disappointed by that flavorless lump of gluten. 

One ingredient, present in the smallest quantity of all, renders the bread what I consider inedible. It has happened so many times that it's become a family motto: "Did you forget the salt?"

To break my repeated mistake, I now pull out the salt and a tablespoon and set them right next to the mixer before I start any other step. 


P.S. I check one number before every options trade. But I check something else even earlier—Dark Wire beacons at 3AM that show me where institutions are positioning before the opening bell. That 12-hour warning is how I closed January at 18.5% trading just two hours a day. Wednesday 2PM ET, I'll show you the overnight scans that make it possible.
