Sell the NASDAQ and Buy Gold
I love a good conspiracy theory. In the long history of governments and central banks deceiving the people, August 15 1971 was just another date in the calendar. Throughout history, the ruling elite has always cheated the people. But the leaders’ irresponsible actions are always revealed as in the end they always fail. Still, in…
Not All Negative Emotions Are Problems
I recently spoke with an experienced, insightful trader who was experiencing performance anxiety. He was so concerned with losing money that he failed to follow his own rules regarding entering positions, taking profits, etc. As a result, he chronically felt frustrated, because his ideas were good, but his trading was mediocre.

How to Overcome Your Fear of Failure
A client (who I’ll call “Alex”) asked me to help him prepare to interview for a CEO role with a start-up. It was the first time he had interviewed for the C-level, and when we met, he was visibly agitated. I asked what was wrong, and he explained that he felt “paralyzed” by his fear…
Bruce Lee on Self-Actualization and the Crucial Difference Between Pride and Self-Esteem
“Real self-esteem is an integration of an inner value with things in the world around you,” Anna Deavere Smith wrote in her invaluable advice to young artists. But how does one master the intricacies of that integration? That’s what legendary Chinese-American martial artist, philosopher, and filmmaker Bruce Lee (November 27, 1940–July 20, 1973) explores in one of the pieces…
Gold – Silver Relationship
One of the things you learn quite quickly in trading if you have any degree of awareness and humility is that the market will not in any way respond to your exhortations to behave in a certain way. Recently I got a notification from LinkedIn that I was suitable for several jobs that were being…
What It Costs To Live Like The Richest People In The World
It’s pricey out there—particularly if you’re looking to replace the grand piano in your jet. Our Cost of Living Extremely Well Index (CLEWI) climbed 3.4% this past year, more than a point above its 2018 increase. It rose nearly twice as much as the Consumer Price Index, which was up 1.7%. Since we started tracking…
An Academic Wrecking Ball Aims at Hedge Funds
Quant investing, and indeed much of the hedge fund industry, is built on the power and freedom that come with the ability to sell short. When you short a security (borrow and then sell it, meaning you make money if the price falls and you then re-buy it), you can profit when markets go down as well…
Roque: Why Technical Trading Signals Stopped Working
PS: I accept that technical analysis is a broad church that encompasses everything from pseudo religous beleifs such as Gann and Elliot Wave through to the idiocy sunspots and astrology, to those who plaster their chart with indicators and ending up with simpletons such as me who simply trade in the direction of the trend.…
Built by Robots
Erecting a new building ranks among the most inefficient, polluting activities humans undertake. The construction sector is responsible for nearly 40% of the world’s total energy consumption and CO2 emissions, according to a UN global survey (pdf). A consortium of Swiss researchers has one answer to the problem: working with robots. The proof of concept comes in…
Last Chance for the Mentor Program
There are only 3 days until we close-off bookings for the 2020 Mentor Program for good. Miss this one and you’ll be kicking yourself for years to come. Earl Nightingale is quoted as saying “a time can come for each of us when more will happen to us in 6 months than transpired in the previous 5 years. Compound events…
Kahlil Gibran on Silence, Solitude, and the Courage to Know Yourself
“In much of your talking, thinking is half murdered. For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.” More here – Brain Pickings
Failure Found to Be an “Essential Prerequisite” for Success
The recipe for succeeding in any given field is hardly a mystery: good ideas, hard work, discipline, imagination, perseverance and maybe a little luck. Oh, and let’s not forget failure, which Dashun Wang and his colleagues at Northwestern University call “the essential prerequisite for success” in a new paper that, among other things, is based…
