Matt Levine

Matt Levine started off a recent newsletter with:

A common enough structural feature in financial markets is:

1. There is a thing.
2. Smart wealthy well-connected insiders discover the thing and buy it.
3. The price goes up.
4. Normal retail investors discover the thing and buy it.
5. Then the price goes down.

I don’t think that this is the general mechanism of financial markets or anything — I don’t think that, like, “the smart money” is off buying one asset class while the rubes are buying something else — but it is definitely a mechanism. The full blog entry is here. It is from May 20, 2022.

This is why I do not buy the next big thing as it seems to be, that all the stuff that is the next big thing that when I hear about it, it is always expensive.
