Investor Amnesia

The history of finance, so you don't have to repeat it.

Newsletter Personal Finance Weekly Updated Aug 2026

About

Investor Amnesia tells the history of finance, panics, bubbles, frauds, the market cycles that keep rhyming, as a way of giving investors the memory the market itself doesn't have. Old annual reports, memoirs, and financial archives get mined to make one point over and over: most "unprecedented" moments aren't.

Stories run narrative and character-driven rather than data-dense, closer to popular history than a research note, so it reads fine even without a finance background. Good for anyone who wants context for why crowds keep making the same mistakes.
