Reverse-ETF of whatever retail is buying

Aggregate the most-shilled tickers across retail channels and build the polite, boring opposite. Not advice. Obviously.

The premise: the crowd is not always wrong, but the loudest part of the crowd has a suspiciously good record of marking the top.

Aggregate the most-mentioned assets across retail channels the brain already monitors, weight by how frantic the language is, and construct the calm inverse.

The catch: timing. Being early is the same as being wrong, but with more time to feel bad about it.

Steal it — and when it works, remember it was free.

Talk to us

A suggestion, a correction, or something we got wrong? Be honest — I'd rather be argued with than politely ignored. A real human reads every message.

Your data, your call. I keep what you send only to reply and — if you allow it — feature it. Want it gone? Say the word (or pick “Erase my data” above) and every trace tied to your email disappears. That's your right to be forgotten under GDPR, and I honour it.

Message sent!

A human will get back to you. Eventually, but genuinely.
