Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The dollar is weak today, but that doesn’t mean it will be weak forever. Over the long term, currency processes tend to be fairly stable and mean-reverting.

People assumed that because something was rated triple-A, it was money-good, when in reality, that was not the case. #4 The attractiveness of a trade depends on the historical data used to evaluate it. If you use historical data from a time when people weren’t actively doing the trade, and then suddenly everyone is doing it, the behavior of the trade will be different.
