Franz Kafka
Let’s be real—when it comes to financial trading, Kafka’s got a point that hits home.
Imagine you’re sitting there, glued to your charts, thinking you’ve cracked the code with a bold contrarian move. The market’s soaring, but you’re convinced it’s a bubble and go all-in on a short.
Spoiler: the market doesn’t care about your genius hunch. The «world»—that messy mix of everyone else’s trades, big money flows, and global news—usually wins out.
This isn’t just some dry advice; it’s a gut check. Think of the traders who bet against the 2021 meme stock madness or misjudged the 2008 crash timing—plenty got burned sticking to their guns.
«Backing the world» means riding the wave instead of paddling against it.
Watch those candlestick patterns, follow the trend, and don’t let pride steer your portfolio into a ditch. It’s less about fighting and more about playing smart with the crowd.
Plus, with markets shifting fast—think AI algorithms and breaking news like today’s midday volatility at 03:25 PM CEST on October 16, 2025—you need to stay flexible, not stubborn.
Ever tried to outsmart the market and regretted it? Drop your story below! Let’s learn from each other’s battles with the «world» of trading.
