ADVICE

Scale Down When Life Distracts You

  • If you're distracted, scaled down, or not thinking clearly, reduce exposure to zero and take a break.
  • Retail traders have the flexibility to stop trading; use it to reset and avoid poor decisions.
INSIGHT

Prices Look Ahead Of The Economy

  • Asset prices are leading indicators that look one to three months ahead of the economy.
  • A lack of market reaction to news often means the outcome was already priced in.
ADVICE

Trade With Full Conviction Or Not At All

  • Only trade when you have 100% conviction and do nothing when nothing is happening.
  • Sit on your hands and wait for clear opportunities rather than forcing trades.
