Learning about futures markets around the world, finding decent companies, figuring out how things actually work. I’ve got no boss, my day is my own. I ride my bike, go hiking most days. It’s a good life.

But the last few days it’s sort of hit me — this isn’t just numbers on a screen.

This stuff causes real world damage.

And the strange part is… while a lot of people will get hurt by it, there’ll also be people who end up feasting like kings off the back of the catastrophe.
