Wikipedia defines stream of consciousness writing as a literary technique that seeks to portray an individuals point of view by giving the written equivalent of the character's thought processes, either in a loose interior monologue, or in connection to his sensory reactions to external occurrences.
I am a mere trader in the maelstrom that is global investing, and I react to circumstances that are beyond my control. Sometimes my reactions win big and I capitalize on my intuitions, and at other times I lose the shirt off my back. I tend to be contrarian in nature, entering into a trade when others are heading for the exits, and leaving a position when others are chasing the asset that is being elevated to euphoric levels. I hate getting out of a winning position early, and nothing bugs me more than leaving money on the table, but so it goes....
I am intrigued by an honorary Samurai named Munehisa Homma who was a rice trader and most successful fund manager in history in 18th century Japan. He positioned himself bullishly when others were bearish, and bearishly when others were bullish.
This Blog will attempt to concisely and coherently chronicle my thoughts and observations on investing in the global marketplace.
