    George Soros on Trading

    Yes, actually. You could argue trying to make a behavioral science out of it is a little pretentious, but reflexivity is just a different word for feedback loop, which we know exists and understanding that gets us out of the 'it cant go any higher/lower' mindset stupidity.
