The premise of the book sounds great: trade at a different level, seek to understand the movement of others and how to profit from their trades. He suggests perfecting a trading system then adjust your style to fit a variety of markets. I was never sure what this “style” meant. On one hand he suggest trading chart failures on the other taking breakouts that were unexpected.

He gives good advice: “The sooner you realize you are trading against other traders and not just the stocks or the market, the better off you will be.” I thought he was right about the unexpected 2009 rally being caused by wave after wave of short covering. Each breakout to new highs forced shorts to cover even though the fundamentals of the economy continued to deteriorate. It was caused by running out of panic sellers and having panic short sellers forced to buy back. Great observation. But how much did he profit from it? What were his real trades?

Tatro discuss how to find your trading edge:

At the core of every successful trader lies a defined trading strategy, which ultimately provides a statistical and proven edge. The reality is that you simply need a slight edge and the patience to exercise that edge over and over again.

Apple M1 MacBook Pro is out. Get rid of your MacBook Air now and forever with this promotion

MacBookPro 2020 is here Apple today revealed its long-awaited ARM-powered Macs, including a new MacBook Air, Mac Mini, and MacBook Pro. All of them use the new M1 chip, which promises massive gains in performance and decreased power consumption — or at least when running apps optimized for the new hardware. In fact, the company claims its new 13-inch MacBook Pro has “the longest battery life ever on a Mac,” and “up to twice the battery life of the previous generation.” Performance-wise, the gains are similar to those the company is touting with the MacBook Air. Here are Apple’s claims: Up to 2.8x CPU performance Up to 5x the graphics speed Up to 11x faster machine learning Up to 20 hours of battery life One needs to take that ‘up to’ bit seriously. As I wrote in my post about the MacBook Air, these performance numbers likely reflect gains when using apps that have been specifically developed to run on ARM-based chips. Apple was less clear about how the laptops will perfor...

Walmart online deals are ending in England and Argentina. It's looking for a buyer.

A complex and volatile country and an unprecedented global situation. These factors prompted Walmart's parent company in the United States to decide to end its operations in Argentina. To that end, the chain has mandated it to sell its local subsidiary to Citibank and is already looking for a buyer or potential partner. Interested stakeholders include Coto, the Inverlat Fund (owner of Havanna) and the De Narvaez Group. Although these negotiations began early in the year, they are currently being halted due to the global pandemic. "Earlier this year, we began exploring the possibility of new alliances to advance our business in Argentina and its growth path; a process that was at an early stage but that we were confident could help accelerate our strategy in Argentina," explained Juan Pablo Quiroga, Director of Institutional Relations at Walmart Argentina. And he added that this process was "suspended" because of the need to focus Covid-19 on emergency manag...

High Returns from Low Risk A Remarkable Stock Market Paradox

This ebook reveals a story about the stock market wich will change the way you think about investing. It is a story about a paradox I stumbled upon many years ago, one that still amazes me today. It is the story of an ‘inconvenient truth’ for economics professors as it turns their models upside down. A delusional story for professional investors who are managing other people’s money. It’s also a personal story which will make you smile and wonder. But most importantly, it’s a story that will help you become a better investor, as it describes how to turn scientific insights into profits. It is the modern stock market equivalent of ‘the tortoise and the hare’: a remarkable tale of how low-risk stocks beat high-risk stocks. My goal is to explain this stock market paradox to you as I would explain it to my father. He is a retired businessman with stock market investing experience. Although he is not an expert in finance, he is a wise man with an entrepreneurial mindset. He has taught...
