You need to follow Ed.
He trades using our sponsor, Leverage Shares, products.
He’s been an absolute beast at adding leverage within a tax free wrapper like a SIPP or ISA (pretty much the only way to do it outside of spreadbetting in the UK).
For when you have a feeling the market is seriously going to pop for a few days, they’re an excellent way to juice returns.
Right, listen up.
I had coffee with a smart guy I used to work with (yes, I did actually work for someone at some point).
We’re talking about why Brits are so bloody awful at investing compared to literally everyone else on the planet.
And he drops:
‘Most Brits think the stock market is just random chaos.’
And it’s true – you ask a random Brit about investing in shares and they say ‘ooooh it’s too risky,’ mainly because they don’t have a system or process, so they’re scared.
But here’s the thing – it’s not random at all.
Every single price movement, every crash, every boom follows a pattern called the bell curve.
The normal distribution, if you want to get technical about it.
Most days, the market does absolutely nothing exciting. Moves up 0.5%, down 0.3%, sideways… boring.
That’s the fat middle bit of the bell curve – where 68% of all market action happens.
But then you get the tails.
The 2008 financial crisis? That wasn’t some mystical black swan that nobody could have predicted.
It was a statistical probability sitting right there in the tail of the distribution, waving at anyone who bothered to look.
While Americans have been using this stuff to get absolutely minted for decades, we’re still treating investing like it’s reading tea leaves.
The Swiss National Bank? They’ve got $160 billion invested in US tech stocks because they understand these patterns… not just in a microstructure sense of daily movements…
But a broader macro sense too. Everything comes down to data distributions…
Meanwhile, we’re (Brits) celebrating when our ISA hits 4% interest.
It’s embarrassing.
Tomorrow, I’m going to show you exactly why the bell curve isn’t just some academic nonsense – it’s the difference between making money and watching inflation eat your savings alive.
Who’s ready to stop being a market bellend?
P.S. – Yes, I know this sounds like maths. But it’s simpler than figuring out why my calves won’t grow. And considerably more profitable.
That coupled with the Fink Academy anyway.
