like to think it should be.

Experienced traders will rely on any number of different market indicators, including trading volume and breadth, right?

Like, for example, within the index, how many stocks are actually rallying, how many are actually carrying the index forward.

And any one of these could become a signal to the trader that the conviction is basically weakened

by the responses you're seeing in the market from the asset that you are either long or short.

And again, this is where I would say machines are just far better because they're really good at very conscientiously keeping track of the numbers, seeing any changes in correlation, changes in beta and so on.

Brilliant.

Yeah, because we thought where you could make the workload a lot easier for a portfolio manager and analyst is to enable this kind of wholesale monitoring of what is ultimately just a gigantic correlation matrix in the market.

I wish that I could draw out some method that I could say like, oh, here's the recipe, here's the formula.

I think in this case, obviously, it happened because he and I had worked together for a very long time.

So I think he knew what I was interested in, what I was capable of, what I proposed to do.

And I think there was a degree of trust that came from that.

Now, that being said, I think as you and I discussed, I think the first time, there are ways in which you are able to build that trust if you establish some kind of a track record of what you say you will do and then ultimately do it, deliver it, and so on.

I think people generally like to see that when you previously had said, look, I'm going to go out and I'm going to build this, that there is evidence that you did go out and build it.

It may not have worked, but you did what you said you would do and you executed on that.

And I think that's

a huge part of that trust that ultimately will get somebody to say like, you know what, I'll take a bet on you.

I do agree.

I mean, I think even though in this case, as you say, I had sort of a captive audience in him, I think that generally that's absolutely true that I track record, be it in hedge funds, be it in building a business and so on.

It doesn't matter.
