What makes markets tick? Simple, investors.
So then, what makes them tick? Numbers, reports, pure rational behavior? No, no and no. Unfortunately for anyone trying to figure out the “science” of economics, investors often act irrationally, and it’s not something that can be pinpointed. However, you can point a finger at those that do in fact share similar successful attributes and understand markets ahead of the curve.
ahead of the curve
From the buys of Warren Buffett, to the contrarian investment philosophies of Peter Lynch & David Dremen, it’s undeniable these people know something that most rational trend following investors don’t. Their thinking isn’t all that irrational actually, they have their methodologies, their experience, and “gut” instinct – however they also have something those that most people crave… an ability to see ahead of the curve. This foresight, or vision is what gives them a distinctive, or an instinctive advantage. They were born to buy, sell, and see what’s up ahead – it’s in their nature – they natural born leaders, and many times the market follows them. So what are some other ways that markets tick? What makes the price of oil mysteriously fall, whom is responsible for undercutting its hyper-inflated value? I ask you to find the answer to this or any other commodity, and then, you too, will be ahead of the curve in business and in life.
