David Harding on EMT: Trend Following 5th edition

Posted on by Michael Covel

From my newest:

David Harding goes further, explaining EMT madness in an every-man way: “This theory of rational markets treats economics like a physical science—like Newtonian physics—when in fact it is a human or social science. Human beings are prone to unpredictable behavior, to over-reaction or slumbering inaction, to mania and panic. The markets that reflect this behavior do not assume some supra-human wisdom, they can and sometimes do reflect that volatility.”

Further translation: Human nature isn’t rational. It blows bubbles and then pops bubbles.

John Kenneth Galbraith on Euphoric Times

Posted on by Michael Covel

One:

John Kenneth Galbraith noting that in euphoric times, “past experience, to the extent that it is part of memory at all, is dismissed as the primitive refuge of those who do not have the insight to appreciate the incredible wonders of the present.”

Two:

Here’s a great observation on the subject from Berkshire-Hathaway’s 2010 letter to shareholders: We agree with investment writer Ray DeVoe’s observation, “More money has been lost reaching for yield than at the point of a gun.”

Shout to Howard Marks for the finds.
