>>96590421>a gold fishcompletely random investments outperform human traders because the market always grows on average. people can't shake their pattern seeking brain and biases, so they lose money making "thoughtful" moves that "make sense," and the goldfish is like an allegory for dissociating yourself emotionally as much as possible so this doesn't happen. the goldfish does not actually invest money, it's a human doing it using the gold fish's behavior to pick stocks, knowing and relying on it to follow no tangible thought process at all.
