ASYMMETRY® Observations are Mike Shell’s observations of all things asymmetry, asymmetric risk/reward, asymmetric payoffs, and asymmetric investment returns.

The S&P 500 stock index ended the third quarter down -25% for the year and printed its worst performance through the first nine months of any year since 2002.

ASYMMETRY® Artificial Intelligence isn’t about forecasts. It’s about engineering survival, optionality, and asymmetric outcomes in an uncertain system.
