“There are a variety of unique orientations available. For example, even if you don’t entirely understand what’s going on, you can see how to take advantage of a sudden array of transforming circumstances. And not merely financially…

Or, along another vector, you can use the change in specific variables to propel you into potentially dangerous, but largely unexplored territory. And you might be able to make something of that.
