There is no escaping the crushing clutches of the market. Every choice, made intentionally or not, sends ripples of influence outward into a sea of oceans. This returns in waves, small or large, eroding value in the once rock-hard status quo, slowly or quickly, but always eventually. Coins sliding out of pockets and chests thrashed overboard. The storm in the ocean is as much the market as the ripples you send into it. When the storm passes, two kinds of vessels remain: the sunk and sinking, and the prepared who prevail, gathering a boulder of value for the cost of a stone.
The market is a climate that shifts, storms, heats, cools, and casually whispers unheard clues. An economist, like a meteorologist, scans clouds of data, traces the winds of policy, and maps the pressure systems of human behavior, all to build a forecast worth betting their life on. No one plans on wiping out onto the shore and starting over, but when you sail with your eyes closed, don’t you plan to crash? Everyone is practicing some sort of economic philosophy. I challenge everyone to open their eyes and practice with intention. You can’t copy-pasta any one person’s forecast, as we all have to adapt information to our unique positions and trajectories.
You must learn to watch the currents of value, the winds of opportunity, the shifts in risks and rewards. Hemabid Research is my way of doing my work in the open. The research, the data, the patterns I uncover will be here so others can sharpen their own judgment and plot their own course. It isn’t a diary of my best trades or a get-rich-quick scheme. It is a commons for disciplined thinkers to study and share their edge. A market’s efficiency is inarguably linked to how informed and wise its participants are. Together we can all do the work in the creation of the most efficient market to ever exist.
This is a work that we must all do together and alone at the same time. We can all be economists, forecast in unison, and be correct, but what that means for our personal economies will rarely be aligned. You must captain your ship; there is no outsourcing personal finance for the common person. The purpose of Hemabid Research is to teach you how to forecast the market at large and how to adapt that forecast to maximize the value of your personal economy. There is something even larger at stake, though. Money, as in currency, is a visceral truth of the world. It is not the only thing that matters, except when you don’t have enough. You must gather and hoover it up simply to witness the truest truth of life. When those who can act with honor do not step into responsibility, meaning power, the self-serving, selfish, and unscrupulous will. Money is one axis of value that most don’t climb high enough to even begin to worry about an alternate axis.
The most valuable resource ever to exist is your time, and you are spending it to nudge the trajectory of your ship. Every choice adjusts its course, closer or farther from your ideal. One day you won’t have the strength to adjust a sail or row a boat, leaving you to coast with whatever inertia in whatever direction you built all your life. You will then dwindle, slowly becoming the sand on the very beach where you once began the journey. If you do not take control of your direction now, you are only narrowing your future. You must begin with money, if only to transcend it and begin to do the real work of changing your world, shifting the market and life at large. Whatever size peace you seek must be paid for. The cost is a discipline of equal proportion. If you do not pay the cost, do not be surprised when you find no peace and a future where you only have time to execute someone else’s will.
This is Hemabid Research, the knowledge I bet my life on.
