Through his firm Gotham Capital he posted one of the most extraordinary long-run records on Wall Street, reportedly compounding at around 40% a year for two decades.

After a dramatic exit from his previous firm, he co-founded DoubleLine Capital in 2009 and quickly built it into a fixed-income powerhouse.

This is the story of Jeffrey Gundlach.

She founded ARK Invest in 2014 on a single conviction: that disruptive innovation would reshape the economy faster than markets expected. Her flagship funds soared on bets like Tesla, made her one of the most-followed investors of the era, then swung through dramatic drawdowns. Loved and criticised in equal measure, she never wavered from her thesis. This is the story of Cathie Wood.

For decades he was simply the Bond King, the man who turned fixed income from a sleepy backwater into a stage for star managers.

1792: twenty-four brokers sign a two-sentence pact under a buttonwood tree on Wall Street. February 2026: the Dow crosses 50,000. This episode tells the whole story in between: the panics and manias, the titans and frauds, and the two forces that have driven every era of the market — greed and fear.

From Hamilton and the first panic, through J.P. Morgan, the Crash of 1929, Black Monday, the dot-com bust, 2008, COVID and the Magnificent Seven, one truth stands out above every chart pattern: the instruments change, human nature does not. That is why we trade through Mind, Method and Money, not prediction.

Most traders rehearse the win. That is not preparation. It is fantasy with better lighting.

This is a guided visualisation built to be used before the session opens. Run it in the morning, or whenever your session starts. It rehearses execution rather than outcome: the setup you take, the setup you skip, the stop you accept without argument, and the three questions that decide whether a day was traded well.

Structured around Mind · Method · Money.

Use headphones. Sit somewhere quiet. Do not listen while driving, and do not listen with a position open.
