This week's watch

Dumb Money (2023). Not a movie about getting rich overnight - a story about market psychology, crowd behaviour, risk, and what happens when emotion takes over the market.

While watching, pay attention to:

What role do fear and greed play in traders' decisions?
What risk-management practices are used - and do they succeed or fail?
If you were a trader at that event, what would you most likely do?

Remember: extraordinary market events make great stories, but they rarely make reliable trading strategies.
