1) I find myself less interested in people’s opinions and more interested to learn about the essential truths and beliefs that guide them.

What doesn’t change is our lived experience and the core principles that lead to trading success.
3) So with everyone focused on the outer world—what I wish to explore in our new "Inner Game" series is deepening knowledge of our inner reality.

1/ An investor is a professional observer.

In one sense, it has never been easier: we have never had this many tools and information at our fingertips.

But in another sense, it has never been more difficult: our brain is fatigued trying to attain signals from noisy news flows.
2/ As William James wrote, "We see, but we do not see: we use our eyes, but our gaze is glancing.

We see the signs, but not their meanings. We are not blinded, but we have blinders."
3/ Trapped behind our Bloomberg screen, frivolously searching for new patterns, we become isolated from everything, including our own increasingly abstract thoughts.

1) I’ve never understood why people love labeling themselves as contrarian.

What’s with such pride?

Contrarians are often in error but never in doubt.
2) In The Art of Contrary Thinking, written in 1954, Humphrey Neill said being contrarian is not not about simply taking the opposite view of the crowd.
3) Timing is important.

Contrary opinions are frequently wrong primarily because the crowd is right most of the time.

A few simple realizations have changed the way I operate my life.
First, I don’t know everything.

(This took a shockingly long time to admit).
Second, I won’t know everything.

(Feeling exasperated seeing my pile of unread books).

Is our capacity to learn from experience and illusion?

Worth revisiting March 2020 in a non-reactive, non-judgmental way, simply a moment by moment reflection on events.
It started like any other year. Wall Street strategists published their bullish forecasts with expectations for a market melt-up.
Morgan Stanley’s Mike Wilson, the most bearish strategist, increased his target for the S&P 500 to as high as 3,500 in the first half of 2020.
