History is in the past; one day, one year, one millennium.
Today is tomorrow's history, so it is with markets, humans and ideas.

Humans do so by their actions and their ideas. Actions stem from ideas - perceived or submerged - and so ideas are the influencing factor into the future.
In 1999 it was my belief sectors of the market were dangerously overvalued – companies selling for 100,000 their forward revenue. So I trawled for markets which were not overvalued and were ignored by the general punter. I found it – with a very few others - in commodities and precious metals. I expect this same sector to produce an even better performance over the next 10 years
That’s how an idea turns into action.
