I always pay attention to the reactions and comments on my posts and articles since no one is perfect, there is always room for improvement, and from time to time I make mistakes myself that I amend when brought to my attention. However, in the past couple of days, I…

EXPOSING THE ILLUSION: HOW MODERN ECONOMICS FUELS WEALTH INEQUALITY AND ZOMBIE MARKETS
Two months ago, in FINANCIAL MARKETS REACHED A “SINGULARITY” NO ONE WANTS TO DEAL WITH, I tried to highlight how legacy economic theories—built on assumptions that never fully materialized decades ago—are now ineffective in today’s economic context. In that article, I emphasized five key points: Today, @thesiriusreport posted one of…
THE PROS AND CONS OF TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: A USEFULT TOOL, BUT ALSO A TRAP FOR BEHAVIOURAL BIASES
I don’t expect many traders to truly reflect on the pitfalls of technical analysis, even after countless trading mistakes have already been made. While its value might seem obvious to anyone dazzled by the endless price charts and patterns, those who fall victim to its traps often don’t realize what’s…
HERE COMES THE PANIC – BUT NO WORRIES, IT WILL BE VERY SLOW AT FIRST
A piece of breaking news like this one should have sent markets into panic mode: “China Weighs Injecting $142 Billion of Capital Into Top Banks“. However, due to a boiling frog syndrome that is trapping the vast majority of the public, both retail and professional, no one is feeling the…
FINANCIAL MARKETS REACHED A “SINGULARITY” NO ONE WANTS TO DEAL WITH
Last week I wrote the provocative, but substantiated, “THIS IS NOT 1987, 2000, 2008 OR 2020, BUT A WHOLE NEW MARKET MONSTER” with the main goal of bringing to everyone’s attention how the current financial market is presented with many “unknown unknowns.” Today it’s worth looking a little deeper in…

A KIND PIECE OF ADVICE FOR EVERYONE
Just a week ago, people were cheering yet another guru predicting mind-blowing growth for stocks like #NVIDIA (Nvidia’s market cap will soar to $50 trillion—yes, trillion—says early investor in Amazon and Tesla). Then, why were they holding their breath so anxiously when the stock was dangerously heading fast towards the…
THE PROOF THAT THE US BLS IS MAKING UP NUMBERS OUT OF THIN AIR
By now we know that US BLS data are totally unrealistic for anyone who lives in the real world. My goal in this article is to demonstrate how, after 2020, the BLS has been literally making up numbers that go against any law of statistics. First of all, let’s start…
GME EPISODE 6: THE RETURN OF THE JEDI
What’s going to happen now to #GME? A straight answer to this question is going to be quite technical and boring, which is why I decided to borrow a bit from George Lucas’s Star Wars saga today to have some fun with it. Episode 1: “The Phantom Menace” If you…
THE CRITICAL LOOPHOLES IN THE LAW THAT MAKE NAKED SHORT-SELLING “LEGAL”
Why did the South Korean financial services regulator commence investigations into potential illegal naked short selling?
