    Chess, I’m mobile and can’t watch the vid right now, but I thought for sure this post was going to be of a high-octane subject matter. On that note, a colleague was telling me about enjoying this limited edition Jim Beam with some friends last night, and wouldn’t quit praising it. I was wondering if you’ve tried?

    I watched the video but I’m not sure exactly how it relates to trading. The video was a little hard to follow, but I looked up some academic papers related to it and I also understand that there exists a symmetry between crowd opinions for anything, versus the stock market, where crowd opinions influence supply and demand and thus determine price.

    What’s the crucial conclusion that I’m missing here, chess?
