This morning I ordered my usual tall black Americano. The barista smiled, misheard my name again, and wrote “Mark” on the cup. Which feels fitting, because markets, like coffee, are both bitter and addictive.
People talk about investing like it’s surviving a hurricane: you just hold on tight and pray. But markets aren’t storms to survive — they’re weather systems to model. They have patterns, microclimates, and that uncanny ability to ruin your picnic at the exact wrong moment.
Here’s the trick: don’t just drink the market, taste it. Look at historical volatility as if it’s acidity in your cup. Study liquidity like it’s crema. Don’t blindly sip — understand the beans.
📈 Takeaway: Invest like a barista, not a customer. Understand the roast, grind, and extraction before you gulp.
