Before he lost it all—all $20 billion—Bill Hwang was the greatest trader you’d never heard of. Starting in 2013, he parlayed more than $200 million left over from his shuttered hedge fund into a mind-boggling fortune by betting on stocks. Had he folded his hand in early March and cashed in, Hwang, 57, would have…
One of the great realisations about life is that a lot of your trajectory is determined by luck – the time you were born into, the color of your skin, and your sex are all huge components of where your life goes. If you were born a white male post WW2 you have already landed…
One of my favorite threads of research shows just how interconnected we humans are. Studies reveal that if you bear witness to someone else experiencing pain—whether it’s a friend stubbing their toe, a person experiencing homelessness on a damp street corner, or a somber face in the waiting room of a hospital—you’re likely to experience some degree of…
……I was a professional poker player for 15 years. For the most part, for most of my career the difference between the good players and the great players was not technical skill. It was psychological skill and mental fortitude. It was the ability to not tilt, to not play poorly, to not let your emotions…
I have a suspicion that over recent weeks and months you have become aware of a puzzle called Wordle. A simple, web-based word game that has become staggeringly successful since its October 2021 launch; so much so that the New York Times recently purchased it for a seven-figure sum. Both the structure of the game and…
….He said “your brain can only produce one or two thoughts” in your conscious mind at once. That’s it. “We’re very, very single-minded.” We have “very limited cognitive capacity”. But we have fallen for an enormous delusion…. More here – The Guardian
Whenever markets have some form of correction traders’ and commentators’ thoughts immediately turn to volatility and what impact it may have on investing returns. However, in their commentary and opinion pieces, they fail to answer a simple question. Is the market more volatile now? For example, I recently received an article from Sharesight titled –…
Whilst perusing my LinkedIn account I came across this reply to an already bloated and nonsensical piece supposedly analyzing the market – the chart in question looked more like someone had picked up a bowl of pasta and lobbed it against the wall. Responding to this masterpiece of analysis was this enlighting gem. Please permit…
If you cannot handle this simple observation then this game is not for you.
Dead is dead. Two days ago, nobody was talking about Meat Loaf. Two days from now they won’t be either, unless it’s to say he was an anti-vaxxer. “Bat Out of Hell” was successful for one reason and one reason only, Steve Popovich. Pop was a legendary promo man at CBS Records who left to…
Cryptocurrency trading platforms report a spike in activity from self-managed superannuation funds and rich wholesale investors even as the value of global digital assets tanked by $US1 trillion ($1.4 trillion). Micro-investing app Bamboo has detected a 17 per cent spike in sign-ups from SMSF trustees in the past month. The app allows investors to deploy…
It is interesting how nothing lasts forever and sentiment can change in the blink of an eye. Peloton was supposed to revolutionise fitness and Zoom was to be the tool that carried us through the boom in working from home. Sentiment can be a bastard of a thing if you are on the wrong side…
