Traders Beware: The Market’s Seductive Call

Odysseus knew what was up. Despite being a formidable warrior he knew he was still fallible, human, and vulnerable to temptation. So he was smart. “Tie me to the mast lads!” he cried before the ship sailed past the seductive sirens. He took steps to make sure he wasn’t seduced by short-term emotion, which allowed him to safely pass the island while so many others had perished before him and he reach his destination. Be like Odysseus. Don’t allow yourself to be seduced by the market’s short-term action. Stick to the plan, stay focused and tie yourself to the mast.
