Wow! The World Cup is back. For the next couple of weeks, billions of people will become football experts. Some will even explain to professional coaches what they should have done differently from the comfort of their sofas. Despite a rather busy schedule, I still try to catch the highlights whenever I can. Investors are…

I periodically recycle old posts on my blog to ensure that new clients can benefit from valuable content they may have missed and this post is one such example. During a recent family dinner at a restaurant, I found myself an unwilling spectator to a disheartening scene in the VIP dining room nearby. Our table…

In Maharishi Ayurveda, the saying “you are what you eat” encompasses more than just physical nourishment. It suggests that food not only sustains the body but also deeply influences your consciousness and emotions. What you eat can shape your mood, evoke feelings of joy or anger, foster calmness or restlessness, and determine whether your thoughts…

Centuries ago in India, the sacred land of the Veda, visionary Rishis possessed the ability to perceive the natural rhythms and melodies. These seers would sing and play these enchanting tunes during specific times of the day and night, aiming to bestow tranquility and harmony upon their land, as well as optimum health to their…

Some of the most useful conversations…

I will be on the road for the next couple of days, so the blog will be taking a brief nap. No worries though, I am not fleeing the markets. Just stepping away for a short while and will return soon, refreshed and ready to get back in. On another note, as always, I prefer…

One question that occasionally comes up during retreats or conversations with fellow meditators is this: “How do you deal with difficult people?” It is a fair question. Most of us will encounter them sooner or later. Some are rude. Some are toxic. Some are vindictive. Some seem to carry enough negativity to power a small…

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…

I will be away for a while and will not be posting any blog updates. Think of it as my posts taking a little nap while I’m out exploring. In the meantime, a gentle reminder. Short-term trading remains one of the toughest games in town. For every trader posting screenshots of spectacular gains, there are…
