[Adam Theory] Chapter 9: What Matters Most in the Market

  • 2025-07-12

In the market, the ultimate and most important thing is daily profit.  

In the market, the most important and fundamental thing is price.  

In the market, another important thing is trend.  

 

Trend is the most crucial aspect of price. We must ask this question: What is a trend? How do we define a trend... any kind of trend? When I was in middle school, there was a time when everyone was wearing white buckskin shoes. We all carried a small bag with chalk dust to keep the shoes spotlessly white at all times. Anyone who cared about their appearance had to own a pair. That was a trend. What was really going on?  

 

Shared opinions........? Not necessarily.  

Similar actions.......? Getting closer.  

Everyone wanting to be like others....? Can you be more specific?  

Uniform behavior..........? And then?  

A form of crowd behavior.......? Guess again.  

Human mimicry instinct.........? Very close to the answer.  

 

What is the most basic definition of a trend? What is a price trend in the market? If you really want to get to the bottom of it, if you break it down to its simplest components, how would you define a price trend?  

 

Remember, we’re talking about simple things here. How would "Right Now" answer this question? By the time you finish this book, you’ll feel that almost everything written here is something you already knew. I challenge you—before you turn to the next page, take three guesses at the answer to "What is a trend?"
