Craft Your Edge — Turning Stories into Smart Investments

Most trading today is done by machines, yet billion‑dollar market swings still start with a simple story: “This changes everything.” In this episode, we dive into how those stories are born, when they turn toxic, and how a disciplined investor can turn them into an edge.

Robert Shiller once said market stories spread like viruses—and he’s right in a very literal way. A phrase on an earnings call, a founder’s vision slide, a spike in Google searches, and suddenly capital, talent, and headlines all lurch in the same direction. That’s how “cloud,” “metaverse,” or “AI” jump from niche idea to boardroom mandate.

In earlier episodes we focused on surviving crashes and spotting bubbles after narratives have already gone wild. Now we’re moving further upstream: learning to recognize investable stories when they’re fragile, contested, and still mostly ignored.
