Auction markets reach decisions between people. Personal choices are made between a person and their environment. This can also be seen as an auction market.

“In the stock market, the most important organ is the stomach. It’s not the brain.”
— Peter Lynch

The stock market represents collective thinking with broader reach and more effective participation than politics. Its materialistic focus makes it feel less relevant, but the greater commitment and consequences for those who take part make it an impactful tool for organized behavior.

I’ve traded stocks, commodities, currencies, funds, and options for 40 years. I’ve studied accounting, macro- and microeconomics, and analyzed stock movements in detail. I even applied for a job as a stock analyst, which I’m lucky I didn’t get. It’s a field that’s simultaneously frustrating, interesting, boring, and elusive. You often feel you’re gaining insight only to have it blow away.
