In this post, I had a bit of a dig at the self-congratulatory nature of super funds and their lack of performance. In my piece, I mentioned that the long term rate for super funds was quoted at being around 7% for the past 30 years. So I decided to see what the differential between…
It’s been one of those days, maybe I am underselling this, let’s call it one of those years…. In 1976, a professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley published an essay outlining the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as humanity’s greatest existential threat: Stupidity.

Ever wondered why markets work the way they do? This might help.
Sleep has long been the secret weapon of athletes just as it should be for traders. Scientists have a firm grasp on the purpose of certain automatic physical functions, like blinking, breathing, or digestion. When it comes to sleep, however, researchers still aren’t clear on why exactly your body needs to shut off every night.…
It has been a while since I updated my superannuation fees chart but was prompted yesterday by the following graphic that hit my LinkedIn feed.

As October approaches once again we begin to see in the press the usual moaning and wailing about the impending implosion of the market and not doubt as October gets closer and closer this gnashing of teeth will reach a crescendo. October occupies a singular fascination for the ill-informed courtesy of two events – the…
Do you ever get the feeling that every single investment idea or movement is the greatest thing since sliced bread. What interests me is that this sort of breathlessness even inhabits what you may liberally call the more refined corners of social media such as LinkedIn. Normally you would only associate rabid fan boy behaviour…
If this isn’t the definition of irony I don’t know what is….. In 2012, Shu, Mazar, Gino, Ariely, and Bazerman published a three-study paper in PNAS (.htm) reporting that dishonesty can be reduced by asking people to sign a statement of honest intent before providing information (i.e., at the top of a document) rather than after providing information (i.e.,…
