Ostensibly the video below is about how to swim really really fast and for a sports science geek like me it is fascinating watching. Dig a little deeper and you find it is about revering from failure, rebuilding and staring down an established orthodoxy that despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary refuses to accept that…
The piece below is from an excellent Facebook page called Market Mayhem – they produce these excellent long form videos on significant market events and are well worth following.
The arrival fallacy is the illusion that achieving a long-sought goal will deliver lasting fulfilment. For traders, this fallacy is particularly insidious. Many believe that once they hit a specific profit target, build a consistent track record, or finally make it, they’ll reach permanent satisfaction. In reality, the arrival often feels hollow. The dopamine surge…
In trading, things go wrong – that is the nature of the business, and other than quitting the business, there is nothing you can do about this universal truth. What makes things going wrong worse is that we are our own worst enemies when it comes to stopping the destructive inner cycle that plagues everyone…
Wall Street did its own thing after the US midterms, and the result was far more interesting than the political headlines suggested. The Dow surged roughly 3%, but beneath the rising indices, a cluster of companies supplying the AI boom took a hammering. A quick recap of the overnight action shows the following – Interestingly,…
One of the most interesting and encouraging things about trading is that everyone’s experience is the same. The journey is unique, but the experience of it is the same for everyone.

This should not come as a surprise to people who have lived in certain suburbs in Melbourne and Sydney
Apparently, 84% of S&P 500 stocks are below their all-time high. Most have interpreted this as a silent crash unfolding in the index. This has been accompanied by the usual amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth. Fortunately, those who simply looked at the headline number and made a pronouncement are WRONG. Looking at the…
Trading doesn’t require you to be a superstar every second of the trading day. It does require that you pay attention to what you are doing before your impulses overwhelm you. You can recite the rules of your system chapter and verse and still break them. Here is a simple question for those whose system…
The AI Stocks Most Exposed When Bond Markets Bite Last week I dropped this video – The $40 Trillion Milestone in which I posited that rising yields are definitely a bad thing for AI and AI-related stocks because of their sometimes stratospheric borrowings. Over the weekend, I did a deep dive into which stocks had enough…
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. This is a universal complaint among all traders – there do seem to be times when absolutely nothing works – or so it seems. The difficulty…
In August, the global financial architecture didn’t just stumble; it slammed into a $40 trillion wall. For an American economy that has long feasted on the “exorbitant privilege” of the dollar, this isn’t just a sobering milestone—it is a staggering signal that the era of easy fiscal expansion is over.
