Are You the Majority or Minority?

Came across an interesting discussion about financial literacy this weekend.

Financial literacy, according to the article below, varies significantly across key demographic groups. Studies consistently show that age, education, income, gender, and ethnicity influence financial knowledge.

Age: Middle-aged adults (typically 45–64) tend to score highest in financial literacy, while younger adults (18–34) demonstrate the lowest levels.

Education: Higher education correlates strongly with better financial knowledge; those with college degrees perform better than those with only high school education.

Income: Individuals with higher incomes typically show greater financial understanding, likely due to increased exposure to financial products and services.

Gender: Men generally score higher than women on financial literacy tests, though the gap narrows with increased education and financial experience.

Ethnicity: White and Asian respondents often report higher levels of financial literacy compared to Black and Hispanic individuals, pointing to persistent disparities in access to financial education and resources.

Typical questions asked in a financial literacy test that apparently many across multiple generations are failing.

While getting these questions right might offer a boost of confidence, it won’t stop the invisible hand from quietly reaching into your pockets. Success in investing, trading, and other financial decisions hinges on one essential factor: timing. And timing demands accurate, reality-based data—not opinions, beliefs, or gut feelings. This is about discipline enforced by computer driven discipline, not emotion.

Most people lose in the markets because they can’t time. They buy when they should be selling, and sell when they should be buying. To understand why this happens, you need observation. The majority clings to narratives and conspiracies that drain their accounts and distort their judgment.

Why are stocks soaring when everyone is bracing for a crash? The answer has little to do with financial literacy. Knowing your $100,000 money market account yields 1–2% (before the IRS takes its share) means nothing in a game built on anticipation.

The real question is: Is the invisible hand accumulating or distributing as prices move? Being able to answer that question changes everything, and instantly separates you from the majority.

The financial world is dominated by the few, a quiet minority that rarely speaks and never teaches. Brutal trends are taking shape. Either you learn to move with the minority today, or the invisible hand will do it the hard way in the future. Stocks rise when the majority least expects it, and fall when no one is prepared.
