Key Lessons
[08:01] Being a contrarian can get you very run over, if you’re doing it in a weird, stubborn kind of way.
[08:46] No matter what you do, no matter what kind of trading you do, you have to let the market confirm what you want to do first.
[16:33] If you’re trying to beat the market, you have to beat the discounting mechanism.
[18:22] You’re certainly not going to predict the future better than the market because the market is everyone in the world predicting the future at the same time.
[21:11] You just have to keep sticking to the process and let it work for you over time.
[29:05] You’d rather be in the trends that are not crowded and not be in the ones that are massively crowded.
[44:21] Quit trying to outsmart the market and just focus on making money.
[48:06] The only difference between a guy that works for a hedge fun and manages $1Billion and you or some retail trader, the only difference is the business cards.
[49:13] If you want to be part of a very small amount of people, then you have to think differently than the large amount of people.
[57:38] The more in life that you give, the more you get back.
