Careful What You Wish For

Traders often describe periods when “nothing is working.” Every breakout fails, every exit appears poorly timed, and every missed opportunity seems to confirm that they have lost their touch.

Why Your Investment Strategy Is Probably a Fairy Tale

1. The Passenger’s Dilemma Your ego is your portfolio’s greatest enemy. Most investors operate under the delusion that they are the drivers of their financial destiny, possessing some “variant perception” that allows them to outsmart the market’s collective intelligence. We are never drivers; we are only ever passengers – no decision we make has any…
