Bollinger Bands: When Volatility Speaks, Smart Traders Listen
Markets don’t move at a constant speed. They compress, expand, stall, and then explode. Traders who focus only on direction often miss the most important ingredient of all: volatility. Bollinger Bands were created to solve this exact problem. They don’t try to predict where price is going. They reveal when conditions are changing and when opportunity is building beneath the surface.
Used properly, Bollinger Bands help traders stop chasing price and start anticipating expansion, contraction, and risk.
RSI: Seeing Momentum Before Price Reacts
Price shows movement. Momentum shows commitment. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) exists to measure that commitment by comparing how strongly price pushes higher versus how aggressively it is sold. When used properly, RSI does not replace price analysis, it sharpens it. It highlights when moves are supported by momentum and when they are running on fumes.
Buffett, Politics, and the Small Cap Opportunity…
In 1951, a young Warren Buffett asked his girlfriend’s father for permission to marry. Instead of congratulations, he got a lecture. “Warren, you’re going to fail. The Democrats are in. They’re all communists. The country’s economy will collapse.”

Why “The Cantillon Effect” favours Investors!
Often referred to as the “Irish Banker”, Richard Cantillon posthumously became famous for his ‘Essay on Economic Theory.’ In it he theorised, when the state prints a bunch of money, it is the institutional setup of that state, that determines who benefits. In the 18th century, this meant the closer you were to the king and the wealthy, the more you benefitted, and the further away you were, the more you were harmed. But in today’s terms… The Cantillon Effect as it’s known is a change in relative prices resulting from a change in money supply.
So how is the Cantillon Effect at play in today’s investing?
Stock Prices! The most important figure in investing, but how do they work?
While there are many things we look at when investing, at the end of the day the price of a share is all that matters. Have the stocks we invested in gone up or down?
