The Other 80%: Why No One Cares About The Stock Market

almost 6 years ago by SA Editor's Picks

The evident disconnect between consumers and the market is obvious. There are people who are obsessing over cannabis and crypto, looking for a get-rich-quick technique, and forgetting to pay attention to the fundamentals of investing. And then there are the people who can’t afford to think about the stock market, and are working 3 jobs to make ends meet. Why on earth would they associate with anything that 1) takes their money and 2) reminds them of the Great Financial Crisis?

The Problem With Chinese Stocks (JD.com / Alibaba) | China's Downfall Pt.1

about 6 years ago by Fallible @ Fallible YouTube Channel

This video is the beginning of our China series where we’ll explain what’s going on in China and why it doesn’t look good for Chinese stocks like JD.com & Alibaba. On November 18, 1956, during a reception at the Polish embassy in Moscow. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev declared to his audience of Western diplomats that “We [the Soviet Union] will bury you.” This was not a military threat but rather an economic boast. And it was a remark taken very seriously by the West.The Soviet economy delivered exceptionally high growth rates in the decades following WWII, far outpacing developed Western nations. This growth mesmerized Western academics, policymakers, and intellectuals with its astonishing pace. The Soviet Union was hailed as an “economic miracle” and many became convinced that the Soviet’s Command and Control economy was far superior to the West’s capitalist system… and that it was only a matter of time before the Soviets became the largest economic power in the world. Th...

Are You Doing Too Much!? | Complexity Vs Simplicity In Trading

about 6 years ago by Fallible @ Fallible YouTube Channel

In the classroom we were constantly praised and awarded for complexity. A desire for higher marks meant creating more pages of writing, more conclusions, more assumptions, more models, more complexity, more and more. Yet when we exit the sterile classroom and apply that approach to the real world in search of profits, it often translates into less success, not more. Complex approaches usually fizzle out, whereas simple ones, combined with basic common sense and perseverance, tend to bring home the bacon.The market teaches this lesson the hard way. It will take the complex, highly involved PhD thesis and spit it right back into your face in the form of a giant loss or even worse, a completely blown out trading account. The market doesn’t care about fancy complexity and therefore tends to reward the practical street hustler over the high level academic.Long Term Capital Management’s blow out in the late 90s is a classic example of academia gone wrong. While the professors were scr...
