### Comment:
We’ve evolved to recognize patterns. As a hunter/gatherer there was a survival advantage to recognizing patterns. People think they can spot patterns in the market without realizing all of the cognitive biases that cloud their judgment. Playing earnings with a stock/options or betting which way the market will react to Powell’s comments is like gambling on a coin flip.

So how can one consistently beat the market? LEAPs via research of future macro events?!?
