All Booms End In Busts
No one should really be caught off guard by this but oddly people are.
Not Everything Has A Cause
One of the problems that afflicts traders both new and old is the belief that everything they see occur in the market has an underlying cause and if this underlying cause can be understood then the markets can be mastered. The problem with this approach is that it fails to acknowledge that markets are natural…
The Way You Talk To Yourself Matters
This may seem somewhat tangential to trading but psychology is psychology. Self-talk can either be a generator of performance or it can be self-limiting – the trick is to notice when the inner couch becomes the inner critic.
The Rise of Sweden’s Super Rich
Sweden has a global reputation for championing high taxes and social equality, but it has become a European hotspot for the super rich. On Lidingö island there are huge red and yellow wooden villas on rocky cliff tops, and white minimalist mansions with floor to ceiling windows.Less than half an hour’s drive from Stockholm city…
The Columbia Protests and the Economics of Divestment
I have to admit to being quite ignorant as to how the US college system works with regard to funding so this was quite enlightening. Be warned it does stray into politics.
LB on The TV
LB recently got to strut her stuff in a recent edition of TickerTV with Mentor Progam Alum Andrew Woodward. Unfortunately, I cannot embed the video but you view it by clicking on this link.
The Train Wreck That Is Funds Management

It doesn’t matter whether you are deciding between two medical treatments or two new fridges. Data is helpful – correct data is compulsory. This is particularly true when…
Trade What You See
One of the most interesting parts of trading is the role of the human brain as an interface between you and the market. Having a complex filtering mechanism that is the repository of all your emotions sitting between you and the raw sources of information you need presents a complication. Consider the image below. This…
How Stupid Are Australian TV Journalists
It would appear they are very stupid – but then that’s probably not a surprise to anyone. The always entertaining Dr Sabine Hossenfelder points out why. Her channel is well worth subscribing to if for the sole purpose of enjoying her blisteringly sharp intellect mixed with her uniquely German sense of humour.
Ten Minutes With Tate Lets Talk Markets
Once again the world seems a slightly more chaotic place with the Middle East being the current flashpoint for stupidity. And once again markets do something interesting.
More Hedge Fund Fun
This follows from the chart of hedge fund earners I posted here. Where possible I have matched the salaries to the performance of their funds I then matched this to the performance of the S&P500 Total Return Index. I used the S&P500TR Index because it is the most widely used benchmark in the industry. Where…
