Financial Management is Everything Everywhere All at Once

Traders and investors know very well how tough it is for precise, accurate and timely financial management projections, except those who boast - often falsely - about their flawless track records! Real-world economics seldom behaves what economics textbooks are depicting. There isn't any ceteris paribus (other things being constant) condition to the multifaceted reality of "Everything Everywhere All at Once!"

Financial management and economic projections are about human behaviors which are forever evolving and counter-evolving.

For example, the Chinese economy is reportedly in the doldrums because consumers are hesitant to spend due to the negative wealth effects of faltering property and stock markets, coupled with over 20% youth unemployment. Nevertheless, there are always countervailing forces; the property market's downturn could be a relief for some, who are now less pressured to save for down payments and more inclined to invest in the "affordable" stock markets. Moreover, the Chinese stock markets are more influenced by retail investors compared to those in advanced economies.

Another example of financial management forecasting is the impact of the US Dollar on stock markets and specific currency pairs of interest to investors or traders. Even when the market somewhat anticipates that the Federal Reserve will postpone reducing its interest rate, while the European Central Bank is likely to implement a cut soon, EUR/USD may defy expectations and rise. What are the opposing forces? Will these forces persist in influencing the price? When will they cease or become the prevailing trend?

Ceteris paribus does not apply in the real world.

A professional in financial management needs to be cognizant of the primary underlying fundamentals as well as the counter currents and determine when a counter or tertiary current will take precedence. As the dominant trend concludes, charting skills then take precedence over fundamental analysis.

Therefore, a wise financial management consultant is valued for their discernment, which is frequently derived from learning through errors and persistently questioning their own assumptions.
