In this episode, we examine how mass delusion fuels speculative manias and why history keeps repeating itself. This isn’t just a look at past bubbles—it’s a mirror to today’s markets. Referencing Charles Mackay’s Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, we discuss why traders ignore risk, chase fantasy, and pay to stay blind to reality. This episode delivers the full picture—expanded, modernized, and brutally relevant. 

In this episode, we unpack the significance of Moody’s downgrade of U.S. credit—completing a historic trifecta with all major agencies now rating U.S. debt below AAA. We break down what credit ratings actually mean, why bond yields are rising despite falling inflation, and how structural risks—not just CPI—are driving market pressure. 

Not everything deserves your attention. Not everything deserves your energy.
You’re not here to react — you’re here to trade. Limit your inputs. Filter the noise. Protect your edge.

This is Not A Trading Podcast. This is, however, wisdom for life.

This is an unfiltered message about consistency, respect, and the unspoken bond between traders who show up every day — with or without motivation.

Don’t be a distraction. To everyone else: don’t be distracted.
