I was always a fan of Game Theory and especially of its derivative game, The Prisoner's Dilemma, since I'm an avowed believer in Zero Sum kinetics.
If you don't know what any of that means, you'll have to decide whether to admit it, based on what your alter-ego will decide to do, knowing that your reward or punishment will be based on what you both decide, in the seclusion of the recesses of your warped mind(s).
In the event you have more than one alter ego it gets just a bit more complex.
Welcome to my world.
Game theory is much easier when your alter ego is perfectly in sync with your true self. It's also easier in totalitarian situations, because in such cases people are afraid to go counter to authority.
Assuming that you possess some level of sanity and don't have to take into consideration the needs of your alter ego, investing decisions, especially buy and sell ones, should be pretty easy.
"Should be" is the operative phrase.
