There are 3 Things in the title. Thing 2 is a big key to managing markets and being successful at Thing 3. Thing 1, while a consideration to the extent…
2016 was the year I finally decided to codify my niche as a psychology-focused market contrarian, putting the Alice, Red Queen and Rabbit components of NFTRH's logo right there on…
There is something about this time of year that really annoys me. What is that you ask? Well, it is the chronic need for so many market commentators to try…
A quick look across the landscape on OPEC/Oil hype day in the global markets. Public optimism in oil was already turning up pre-OPEC. A production cut would get everybody lathered…
Disclosure (which I feel, given the post's content, should be reiterated): I am not short even a single equity of any kind. I am only long selected stocks and cash…
