18. Top 10 Rules of How to Be a Market Guru 10. Rear-mirror historical events, and find patterns in random walk
9. Be radical, be extreme, be, if not a Dr. Doom, at least a Dr. Gloom
8. Use all alphabets in predictions like L, U, V, W–shaped recovery, and practice survivorship bias when retelling your prediction story
7. Fly around conferences to talk up/down the price of the target long/short after completing the transactions
6. Predict often, like every two minutes (so you’ll never be wrong)
5. Write genetic programming using fractuals mathematics in a neural network black box powered by the string theory with machine learning capability to compute prediction with a long tail
4. At the height of global credit crisis, quote Shakespeare, like“Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend”
3. Us finance poetry, like Keynesian beauty contest
“It is not a case of choosing those [faces] that, to the best of one’s judgment, are really the prettiest, nor even those that average opinion genuinely thinks the prettiest. We have reached the third degree where we devote our intelligences to anticipating what average opinion expects the average opinion to be. And there are some, I believe, who practice the fourth, fifth and higher degrees.” (Keynes, General Theory of Employment Interest and Money, 1936).
2. Practice and perfect Greenspan speak
“Since becoming a central banker, I have learned to mumble with great incoherence. If I seem unduly clear to you, you must have misunderstood what I said. “ - Alan Greenspan speaking to a Senate Committee in 1987
