The twelve money archetypes

Twelve ways people move with money. One of them is going to be uncomfortably accurate.

The FounderYou have started four things this year. You have finished the one nobody asked about. The Capital AllocatorYou will spend six weeks choosing between two options that were both completely fine. The CommunicatorYou have talked yourself into and back out of the same position twice this month, out loud, to different people. The Foundation BuilderYou have a spreadsheet for this. You have had it for years. You have never shown it to a living soul. The Tactical TraderYou check the price the way other people check the weather, and you are not dressed for it either. The Wealth StewardYou are the person everyone trusts to hold the money, and you have never once asked why it is always you. The Research AnalystYou have read forty pages about something you were never going to buy. The Capital OperatorYou do not have a portfolio, you have a system, and you would like the distinction noted. The Macro StrategistYou explained the entire board to someone at dinner and forgot to place your own bet. The Visionary AllocatorYou were early. You are always early. You bring it up roughly once a week. The Master BuilderYou are drawing plans for something that needs a permit you have not applied for. The Master StewardPeople bring you their money problems and leave lighter. You have never once brought them yours.

This describes a decision style, not a forecast. It is not financial advice, and nothing here predicts what any market will do.

We tested whether these chart signals predict returns. They do not, at the power we could measure. We publish that because it is true, and because a product that hides its own null result is asking you to trust the wrong thing. What the chart is good for is a lens on how you tend to move with money.
