Normal is An Illusion

We are conditioned, from birth, to believe that how we live and/or see the world is normal.

This is often the root cause of our problems.

And it’s also why most people rarely understand how the markets work.

We erroneously believe that the stock market moves based on how the majority thinks.

Wrong!

An old Wall Street adage says:  “The markets move in the direction that frustrates the most people.”

That couldn’t be more obvious when you stop and realize that – for the last decade – we’ve been in the Most Hated Bull Market in History.

The 1% know this and they continue to make fortunes while telling you that the markets are going to crash.

Cue up November 2018.

Around this time last year, the markets went into a short-term panic cycle that lasted until Christmas eve.

The Dow and S&P both declined slightly over 12% in a few weeks.  However, the talking heads led you to believe that the world was coming to an end.

Simultaneously, the boyz in the “Club” were trading like their hair was on fire and making a fortune off the average investor who got spooked.

Trading volume last December was abnormally high.  That translated into the boyz getting an abnormally high year-end bonus…compliments of the HFT’s.  (High Frequency Algorithmic Trading Programs)

You see, the Algo’s don’t care if the markets are up or down.  They trade in and out in nano-seconds…faster than you can blink your eye.

What you see as normal is an illusion to them and vice-versa.

You can’t compete with them, but you can make tons of money by re-thinking what’s normal.

Remember:  What’s normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.
