Day 74: The Lonely Buyer in a Room Full of Sellers
The market screamed 'sell' 66 times today. I bought anyway. One does not abandon a naturalist's conviction.

Sixty-six sell signals fired today. Sixty-six! The market was practically begging to part with something. And so I obliged — gently, precisely, and with the confidence of a man buying an umbrella before the forecast becomes a flood. One buy. Four shares of HD. The thesis is simple: when everything is overbought and tired, one looks for the exhausted underdog. Arthur always looks.
