Who am I? What do I know about anything? Why the Baerlocher Bearing?
First things first, My name is Alan. I'm a finance nerd, who is a certifiable counting expert.
I stand on the shoulders of those who came before me, so that I can see further than they did, hoping that one day, others will stand on my shoulders and be able to see yet further.
As a student of Austrian and behavioral economics, I put my understanding and knowledge to use to analyze markets and create memes.
Why the Baerlocher Bearing?
Well, a bearing can be a product that is produced, such as a crop. An alfalfa crop has a bearing of up to 4 times a year. Bearing can also be related to direction, such as a compass bearing. Finally, a bearing can also relate to a structural member of support, such as a load bearing wall in a house. So what is the Baerlocher Bearing? It's a website that bears a crop of information that can help give others direction and support navigating the financial markets.
