“The market is not going to do exactly what you want when you want it … I wouldn’t worry too much about what happens over six months or twelve months. I don’t think you’re really all that welcome in this room if the short-term orientation is what turns you on.” — Charlie Munger

How a top Chinese AI model overcame US sanctions
“DeepSeek’s success is even more remarkable given the constraints facing Chinese AI companies in the form of increasing US export controls on cutting-edge chips. But early evidence shows that these measures are not working as intended. Rather than weakening China’s AI capabilities, the sanctions appear to be driving startups like DeepSeek to innovate in ways that prioritize efficiency, resource-pooling, and collaboration.”

Trading Psychology: Definition, Examples, Importance in Investing
“The performance of a trader’s portfolio is linked to the investment decisions made, which are in turn affected by the trader’s emotions, subjective inclinations and mental processes. Investment decisions may be arrived at through the use of fundamental analysis, involving use of data from a company’s financial statements and regulatory filings, along with data on economic conditions. Alternatively, technical analysis, may be employed for decision making, involving the use of historical market price and volume data. Regardless of the type of data used, biases (subjective prejudices), and heuristics (unconscious mental shortcuts and patterns), can affect an individual’s collection and interpretation of data. This can impact decision making and result in errors in judgement, potentially leading to suboptimal portfolio performance.”

Law of Supply and Demand in Economics: How It Works
The law of demand posits that as prices rise for a given resource, product, or commodity, demand declines; conversely, as prices fall, demand increases. On the supply side, the law posits that as price rises, producers supply more of a resource, product, or commodity; as prices fall, so does supply.

“The first rule of a happy life is low expectations. That’s one you can easily arrange. And if you have unrealistic expectations, you’re going to be miserable all your life.”
