The best place to invest is…
Let me start today’s blog by asking you a question. What separates successful investors from unsuccessful ones? Some of you may have answered with ‘years of experience’, others may have gone with ‘receiving good advice’. Some may have even said it comes down to luck. But I am a firm believer that to be a…
The key to financial freedom? Finding your mentor by Michael Yardney
When we think of entrepreneurs we often think of trailblazers forging ahead on their own, someone who’s doing something different or creating something new. While it’s true that in order to achieve financial freedom, you’ll have to rely on your own wits and talents, it’s also true that no one succeeds on their own. If…
Well That Must Suck
If you were in Melbourne over the weekend it would have been hard to miss the fact that there was a football match on and with all such things weird stories emerge from the woodwork. Apparently one lucky punter quite early in the year generated a multi -legged bet that had Dustin Martin winning the…
I Think We Have A Different Definitions Of Success
Investing is hard there is no doubt about that and being an amateur investor is even harder because you have to rely upon the supposed expertise of others. This lack of familiarity with the industry and its nuances combined with a dependence upon others makes life very difficult for those on the outside. However, this…
Ray Dalio: Why I Came Out of the Woodwork
….For Dalio, the current issue at hand is for people to come together and have “thoughtful disagreements” concerning their conflicts, especially since the divergences are now possibly much greater than they have ever been. These political and social differences are one of the main reasons as to why he feels that—in a world where timing…
The Joy Of Looking Backwards
The other day whilst pulling into my gym I hit a magpie. Not a brilliant start to the workout since my favourite alarm clock is the sound of magpies singing and I have made friends with all the magpies in my area – obviously not the one I ran over. I only knew I had…
Wall Street’s Best-Kept Secret
On East 83rd Street there’s a squat brick walk-up that’s a viable contender for the least fancy apartment building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. But for the past 25 years, Wall Street machers and captains of industry have marched up to its gray-carpeted third floor to learn the secrets of attack and defense from Lev Alburt, a…
This Stanford Professor Has a Theory on Why 2017 Is Filled With Jerks
We are living in a world full of assholes. To be sure: There are no census figures to back this up, no national registry from which to draw statistics, but one need only look at the headlines to see that the asshole population has not only grown in recent years but also spawned some new…
Female hedge funds outperform those run by men
Hedge funds run by women have generated returns two times higher than their male counterparts this year, piling further pressure on a sector that has been branded “male, pale and stale” to recruit more female portfolio managers. The HFRX Women index, which pulls together the performance of female hedge fund managers, has returned 9.95 per…

The Order Of Things Matters
Every now and again I get sent a magic trading system complete with equity curve, generally these are some sort of magic system someone is flogging that promises massive returns and never has a drawdown. They are the sort of quit your job with $10,000 and intra-day trade FX and make $10,000 per week. If…
