But once they targeted that optimal range, M1 lost its value as a measure.\nMarket and economic actors adjusted their behavior to game the M1 system. So central bankers shifted to M2, then M3, and M4.\n“Investing is obviously not a science, but if it were, we would say that you can’t act on something and observe it at the same time.” French colonialists discovered this in rat infested Hanoi, when they offered a bounty for killing rodents. To receive the reward, the Vietnamese were required to produce severed tails.\nSoon thereafter, tail-less rats scurried throughout the city. The bounty hunters removed their tails and released them to the filthy sewers to breed. Boosting their bounty.\n“Investors discover pricing anomalies from the past. And they pile into them, ensuring that for a time they persist.”They mistake the distortions of their wall of money for the wisdom of their observations.\nThey interact with the market as if they’re exogenous, when, in fact, they’ve become endogenous. “Today’s greatest example of Goodhart’s Law in action can be found in volatility markets.”\nThe VIX index measures the expected volatility of the S&P 500, and is calculated by multiplying expected 30-day variance by 100.
