Description
Did you know that Willie Mayes can teach us a lot about the stock market? Baseball and investing may have more in common than you think! We talk market statistics, market inefficiencies and arbitrage -- once a profitable strategy is widely known, it loses effectiveness due to widespread adoption (think the short squeeze on GameStop). We also discuss the potential decline of the US dollar's dominance as the world's reserve currency and the direction energy sources may go in the future. It's important to be financially prepared! Today we discuss... Market statistics and sports statistics can be loosely tied together, with both requiring consideration of multiple metrics for evaluation. There is no single metric that defines the best stock or the greatest player in sports. Efficient market theory suggests that market inefficiencies are arbitraged out over time as more people exploit them. How hedge funds often exploit small arbitrage opportunities, but these opportunities may disappear once they are widely known. Momentum trading strategies can lose effectiveness as more market participants adopt them. How some investors track congressional actions and use them as indicators for investment decisions, but this strategy may lose effectiveness over time. Roaring Kitty's success with GameStop illustrates how retail investors can challenge institutional investors by exploiting publicly available information. The Senate passed a nuclear bill aimed at reducing costs and expediting the permitting process for nuclear energy projects. The expiration of a 50-year trade agreement with Saudi Arabia signals a shift in global power dynamics and highlights the need for the US to transition to alternative energy sources.
