Investing is full of paradoxes: what looks smart can backfire, and what feels risky can be the safest choice. This article shares nine surprising rules—from keeping it simple to doing less—that show how counterintuitive thinking often leads to better results.
Great article that nails a key truth: our brains are wired to be bad investors, just as our taste buds are hardwired to be poor selectors of healthy food. Overcoming that is the real challenge, and these 9 insights are a perfect guide. Classic behavioral finance in action
The activity paradox (#9) really hit home for me. It's counterintuitive but true - my best investments have been the ones I simply held through volatility rather than constantly tinkering. The Newton's fourth law framing is clever. Also appreciate the IQ paradox discussion - I've seen brilliant analysts overthink themselves into poor positions by building elaborate models that miss the forest for the trees. Simplicity is underrated in investng.
I have uploaded my weekly investing blog that includes a preview of the week starting 20 Oct 25, covering economic & earnings calendar (with a use case of stock analysis using Tesla), S&P500 outlook with technical indicators, news and my investing muse.
