When I worked at HBO, I thought risk management was about whether Game of Thrones would kill off another fan favorite. (Spoiler: they always did.)
But leaving HBO to build a trading algorithm taught me something: markets punish uncertainty the same way audiences punish lazy finales. Risk isn’t about eliminating danger — it’s about storytelling. A portfolio, like a series, needs plot twists, but not chaos.
Diversification is character development. Hedging is foreshadowing. And discipline? That’s the writer’s room keeping the dragons in line.
📊 Lesson: Don’t fear risk. Script it. The best shows — and portfolios — thrive on managed suspense.
