It has been sometime since I took a look at some of the internal metrics of the local market, I haven’t done it simply because I am not sure of the usefulness of the information. Anytime you add something to your trading system or market perspective you have to be certain that it is adding…
A friend of mine sent me this and he simply titled the message – agonising grace. Probably a never more appropriate title for a message I have received.
I have recently rediscovered mountain biking with the aid of an electric mountain bike – best money I have spent this year. There are a lot of parallels with trading in this video.
It was the end of the world as we knew it, and I felt fine. That’s almost exactly what I told my psychiatrist at my March 16 appointment, a few days after our children’s school district extended spring break because of the coronavirus.

I recently read War and Chance by Jeffrey A. Friedman, which considers how foreign policy specialists deal with the uncertainty that surrounds their high stakes decisions. Friedman focuses on an historic reticence to explicitly discuss either probabilities or confidence levels when making subjective judgements. Whilst the impact of decisions made around the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden…
Thirty six years on, after a stellar, record-breaking career, Phil Collins, now 61 and retired from music due to injury, still vividly remembers his first show as lead singer for Genesis. Canada – “because it was always strong for us” – had been chosen as the location: London, Ontario first, then Kitchener. A thousand thoughts were rushing…
Have you felt as if lockdown has you in a fog? You’re not alone, says a neuroscientist who studies our ability to concentrate. “There is a barrage of information we’re now facing, and working from home involves additional components,” says Nilli Lavie, professor of psychology and brain sciences at University College London. “It’s difficult for…
