Macro Trends, page-85

Thank you Dineen. Coming from you that is high praise. I really enjoy reading your posts. It's funny that you say "corporate strategist", I used to be a tech growth hacker consultant in the media space for start ups in Sydney, Perth and New York. I was also able to start my own start up, build it to scale and get acquired by a larger company. My job was to come up with ideas to optimise every interaction on websites and apps to improve user experience. With my background in psychology, I would always approach it from a behavioural point of view. From that experience, I seem to only want to invest in a stock if I understand the company and if I can see myself on the strategy team of this stock. I sell when I notice real trends that can affect the life of the stock. I'll kill that stock off then pump it into a winning stock to maximise the gains.

I don't do that job anymore, the job was just so high paced and just wanted to slow down life and enjoy it more. I mainly work in psych now, and what I've been doing lately and mixing my therapy sessions using the stock market as an example to teach patients hpw to manage and control their ego. The aim is to try optimise their minds to learn the skill of retaining full rationality. Despite all the eternal forces telling you not to.

I love studying the macro trends of behaviour when watching the markets. Its just so fascinating to watch human emotions being acted out with digital numbers on a screen with graphs. Each day we record a psychological fingerprint of the globe via the stock market. Its a time stamp where you can look back in history and study what influenced human behaviour that day.

It's really just a game of who can survive and thrive the longest. Its interesting to observe shifting sentiment when traders pop in and out with their intention to provoke their "competitor". Its such a bullying tactic. But thats what the human race is like. So just something we have to accept. And with that acceptance, it becomes so easy to ignore them. If holders really believe in the stock, they won't be swayed by changing sentiment despite the unexpected negative news and abuse.
