Markets speak their own language — full of ratios, Greeks, and curious words like backwardation or contango. This guide breaks down some of the most common (and misunderstood) terms used in trading and investment circles.
Markets, like minds, move not only on facts but on expectations. The self-fulfilling prophecy shows how shared beliefs turn into order flow, liquidity events, and ultimately the prices that seem to “confirm” those beliefs.
Physics turns wonder into practice: from Archimedes’ geometry and instruments to Galileo’s timing and idealisations, nature begins to speak in numbers we can test.
Responsibility is not a cage but a frame: the weight we consciously choose to carry shapes character, gives freedom direction, and turns endurance into purpose.
The “close” is a mechanism, not just a timestamp. This essay explains how daily and weekly closes differ in auction/settlement, liquidity, and halt structure—why that creates gaps, and how those gaps behave across futures, FX, and crypto.
A quiet meditation on the ordinary abundance—warm water, clean clothes, bread and eggs, a roof, work, and care—that hides in plain sight, and on gratitude as the ground of desire rather than its denial.
A critical comparison of Descartes’ rational foundationalism and Jung’s depth psychology—with Anthony Gottlieb’s skepticism as counterpoint—arguing for an integrated practice of self-knowledge that reunites clarity and depth.
