Markets Move in Different Ways

Markets work in very counter-intuitive ways. For example, unlike how people think of their lives (or the weather), markets don’t move based on a general status of good or bad. Rather markets look at trends, and usually respond more favorably to something being “less bad” as opposed to “less good.” This means the logic you apply to picking your friends or moods, is often quite different to how you pick your investments or approach to investing.
