ADVICE

Size Binary Bets For Worst-Case Losses

  • Size binary-event bets so a catastrophic loss won't derail your portfolio.
  • Ask whether you can accept losing 80–90% of that position before placing the trade.
INSIGHT

Regulatory Tailwinds In Rare Disease

  • Rare disease trials often enjoy regulatory tailwinds through single-arm approvals.
  • Those efficiencies lower cash burn and speed time-to-market for promising drugs.
ADVICE

Keep A Trade Log

  • Keep a trade log to learn systematically from winners and losers.
  • Replicate strategies that work and avoid setups that repeatedly fail for you.
