I might become the biggest bitcoin bear on twitter. I wonder if people send me death threats.

The only benchmark that you really want to beat is your own past performance, if you're underperforming the vanguard 500, go back to your day job.

@ickonomics Wow, this is prophetic. Who is this Mr. Ickonomics? Some hottie, I imagine

[Ickonomics @ickonomics]

The element of competition inevitably makes things more difficult but it’s sort of the price you have to pay for progress. There’s no incentive to break a 100M record when nobody’s run a 100M.

[Ickonomics @ickonomics]

I dislike it when people inevitably say stuff like ‘this is bc of capitalism’ as if markets in any way contribute to poor ethics.

Win a dinner with Ickonomics himself. Hear his hot takes vis-à-vis and adore him. Maybe he will even let you in on some financial secrets. ;) All you need to do is retweet this and reply with 'I want your baby, Ickonomics'. Good luck!

Please explain what's going on here. @DouglasKMurray

$FDX actually beat all indices that it’s a component of on the 28th before reverting to the mean, A* for flaunting your ignorance of the market’s apathy of social justice, Mr. Political pundit. https://t.co/a7h4jJfmZs

CTA funds, namely the quantitate funds focused on trend following strategies have, and always will act as the best hedge against equities.

[Ickonomics @ickonomics]

Oh, and the problem with an index that’s weighted heavily toward, say, Apple, is that they already have huge market saturation and less upside potential.

[Ickonomics @ickonomics]

Market cap weighing is poor as indexes are heavily skewed to the larger companies (Apple etc taking a huge portion of the S&P). It makes me wonder whether a reverse market cap weighted index would be more efficient.

Progress is all about cutting out intermediaries.

The more people hate neoliberalism, the more neoliberal I want to be.

[Ickonomics @ickonomics]

TA is a tool that makes idiots feel smart because it has the words ‘technical’ and ‘analysis’. But they’re not analysing anything, they’re swirling tea leaves and drawing lines and animals.

I think the world would be a better place if like, everyone tied their pension/isa to stocks. #TuesdayThoughts

[Ickonomics @ickonomics]

You can get all of this info from just looking at charts, rather than having to be a genius.

[Ickonomics @ickonomics]

So Bloomberg (@business) being all 'gold isn't up as much as we thought etc' are either willfully ignorant or they don't get it.

[Ickonomics @ickonomics]

#Gold is more of a safe haven when it comes to pol. instability rather than economic instability. Something people should think about, not only that but gold never immediately picks up while there's a crash, it tends to pick up, strangely, after a crash or after the market bottom

[Ickonomics @ickonomics]

Quite funny hearing everyone talking about their safe haven. Isn't the real safe haven just a short position? #TuesdayThoughts
