“The Market Can Remain Irrational Longer Than You Can Remain Solvent”
— John Maynard Keynes
This timeless quote is a powerful reminder for investors and traders alike.
Markets don’t move only on logic or fundamentals.
They are driven by sentiment, emotion, liquidity, and human behaviour.
Trying to fight the market with leverage, ego, or overconfidence can be far more dangerous than being temporarily wrong.
The real lesson is simple:
Risk management matters more than predictions.
Survival in the market always comes before returns.
Those who respect uncertainty, control exposure, and stay disciplined are the ones who last long enough to benefit when rationality finally returns.
