I’ve been involved in markets for 8 years. I’ve always been fascinated by psychology, so this has been a fun journey for me. I’m quite interested in Carl Jung, and the idea of the collective unconscious, as well as Richard Wyckoff, and his idea of the composite man.
I’ve take Jung’s way of splitting the unconscious into archetypes, and done this to the composite man. Let me know what you guys think, or if we can expand some on these individual concepts, or if you think we need to add some archetypes. Enjoy!
The YOLOer: The YOLOer isn’t afraid of high-risk, high-reward investments. They’re ready to bet big for those sweet, quick profits, even if it means potential substantial losses.
The Boomer: The Boomer plays it safe, focusing on undervalued stocks that have long-term growth potential. They’re all about steady gains and financial stability.
The Trend Surfer: The Trend Surfer catches the waves of market trends, buying when prices are rising and selling when they start to drop. They surf the market trends, rather than looking at the intrinsic value of assets.
The Bear: The Bear expects the market to fall. They’re ready to short sell stocks or move to more conservative positions when they see a downturn coming.
The Bull: The Bull always optimistic about the market rising. They invest aggressively, always aiming for the moon.
The Degenerate: The Degenerate relies more on luck than careful analysis, taking high risks and hoping for even higher returns.
The Hype Train Conductor: The Hype Train Conductor jumps on the bandwagon of popular opinion, trends, or the advice of ‘experts’. They’re often found chasing the latest hot stock or investment trend.
The Hipster: The Hipster is always going against the grain. They buy when others are selling and sell when others are buying, believing that they’re ahead of the crowd.
The Time Traveler: The Time Traveler attempts to predict market movements and buy or sell based on those predictions, believing they can outwit the market’s ups and downs.
The Nerd: The Nerd makes decisions based on thorough research and analysis. They dig deep into their investments, understanding the companies’ financial health, industry position, and macroeconomic factors.
