When someone calls you a gambler because you’re building a better life through trading… I say “Bring it on!” When the market gives you loss after loss, but you still follow your trading plan to the letter for the very next trade, I say “Bring it on!” When you get that huge win that triples…
At the end of a two-day investment conference sponsored by Dimensional Fund Advisors in Los Angeles last month, I couldn’t stop squirming. The final workshop included a slide show highlighting articles from major business publications across the country conveying a range of dire investment messages. Some spouted warnings of impending market calamity. Others urged investors…
“OK Louise, if you’re such a freaking saint, then why don’t you give away your trading knowledge for free?” Yes, that’s an actual email I received. Hint: He didn’t really use the word ‘freaking’. 2nd hint: He did use a word that started with ‘f’. I’ll let you decide which one. Firstly, thanks for your…

In the chart below I have compared the AUD/USD to SPDR Gold Trust ETF and GOLD a local gold ETF. You can make up…
PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES HAVE shown that when you’re under high stress, you get dumber. It can be difficult to remember what to do, or if you remember what actions you’d planned on taking, when you’re under pressure to act.

WAKE-UP, GO TO work, come home, go to sleep. Wake-up, go to work, come home, go to sleep. Wake-up, go to work, come home, go to sleep. Wake-up, go to work, come home, go to sleep. Wake-up, go to work, come home, go to sleep. Wake-up, go to work, come home, go to sleep. Wake-up,…
“OH LOUISE… YOU DON’T understand the plight of being a beautiful woman.” She closed her exquisite eyes and two delicate tears rolled down her cheeks. Beautiful ex-model, Lisa, had come to me for sharemarket training… or so I thought. In reality she wanted me to rescue her. She’d lost $650,000 of her pilot-husband’s Superannuation money…
Abstract We examine all S&P 500 firms over 1999-2014 that publicly characterize their annual performance with extreme positive language. We find that only 18% of such firms increase shareholder value, while nearly 75% have insignificant performance, and the remaining 7% actually destroy shareholder value. Our evidence suggests that firms often base their positive claims on…
I got an email over the weekend asking about the correlation if any between gold and the AUD and to be honest I didnt know if there was any relationship between the two other than the long bow stories generated by economists. So I decided to have look. Whenever you start to look at the…
While working in my garden, over the fence, here is a conversation uttered by the nice neighbours who live over our back fence: “Well… what do you think they do?” “It’s either got to be drugs, or they’ve worked out a scam.” “What… like a welfare scam?” “Yeah… ‘cos they’re always home or going to…

I suppose such a question should really just be phrased as a rhetorical since it is a given that the majority seem to be dribbling idiots with the IQ of a turnip. The reason for this tirade is a series of news reports I heard this morning whilst heading to my regular Wednesday morning yoga…
