Investors love talking about ‘skin in the game’. It has become something of a truism that a fund manager with substantial sums of their own money invested in their strategy will make better decisions. Not only is this a dubious generalisation but it also overly simplifies what can be quite a messy incentive problem. Skin…
“I’m thrilled to announce the release of my latest book, Investing Psychology Secrets. It’s a culmination of years of experience, research, and, of course, all the insightful discussions we’ve had on this podcast.
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. Stupid people, Carlo M. Cipolla explained, share several identifying traits: they are abundant, they are irrational, and they cause problems for others without apparent benefit…

Drawdown is inevitable for traders – some idiots believe it is possible to trade without a period of drawdown. But they live in a different world to the rest of us grown ups. What is foremost is your response to drawdown and your ability to analyse what has happened and to keep going. There is…
This chart has been doing the rounds of social media lately. It demonstrates five things. You can have an immensely successful social media career and still not understand the basics of topics you comment on. The same is true for journalists who have been reposting it without comment. The chart is of zero relevance to…
Whenever markets reach all time highs commentators begin bleating about the coming crash. This hysteria is then amplified whenever there is a pullback of any sort. No doubt last night’s slippage in the NASDAQ 100 set many hearts a flutter. However, what these commentators fail to realise is that markets don’t suddenly hit an all…
Everyone’s favourite pet rock shows signs of activity along with other precious metals. I look at how traders can take advantage of these moves without having to trade the underlying commodity.
