My latest piece on AI and multi strategy portfolio (without all the technical jargon and charts) just went live in The Armchair Trader newsletter. Established in 2010, The Armchair Trader is a UK-based financial publication that provides independent commentary on global markets, covering everything from stocks and commodities to ETFs, cryptocurrencies, and derivatives.
Despite its name, the content is not written for people sitting in armchairs all day doing nothing. Quite the opposite. The platform attracts investors, traders, analysts, fund managers, and market observers looking for thoughtful insights without the usual noise.
Over the years, The Armchair Trader has built a loyal following by publishing market analysis, investment ideas, interviews, and educational content designed to help investors make better-informed decisions. Its readership spans both experienced professionals and private investors who are trying to navigate increasingly complex financial markets.

Oh yeah, there is an old hunting technique I first heard about from a partner based in the US more than 10 years ago that keeps coming to mind lately. Thousands of years ago, before horses, Native Americans used what is now called a buffalo jump.
Hunters would line a path with rocks and stumps, creating a funnel toward a cliff, then frighten a lead buffalo into a stampede. The rest would follow. Momentum eventually overtook instinct and hundreds of animals would go over the edge together.
Stampedes happen with humans too. The dot-com boom was a stampede. The housing bubble before the Great Recession was a stampede. Every cycle has its version. The difference is that our stampedes are psychological. We just do not notice we are running until we are near the cliff.
Not so long ago, hedge funds were nibbling at AI trades. Fast forward to today and everyone and his dog is piling back in with gusto, as though volatility itself has been permanently abolished by artificial intelligence.
