Because Markets Are Full of It

...Full of nonsense, that is.

Most market commentary is designed to make you feel stupid or scared. Market Nonsense does the opposite. It’s your weekly reality check on what's actually happening in markets from Jared Dillian, who's spent 25 years on trading floors and in the trenches.

Every Thursday, Jared picks apart the week's biggest "wait a minute" moments and shows you what really matters.

You’ll get:

  • Complex market dynamics explained clearly (without the condescension)

  • A slice of insight that's short enough to read over coffee, sharp enough to quote at dinner parties

  • Rigorous analysis that sharpens your own market nonsense detector

  • A growing understanding of what's actually important in markets versus just noise

Plus… Get Chart of the Week

Every Tuesday, Jared throws a spotlight on one chart that’s got his attention: not just because of the price action, but because of the story behind it. Sometimes it’s a sector. Sometimes it’s a stock. Sometimes it’s something else entirely – the only rule is it has to be interesting.

  • Most investing newsletters either try to sell you something or make you panic. Market Nonsense delivers sharp analysis paired with clear education, written by someone who's actually been in the arena for 25 years. No BS, no upsells in disguise, no “secrets they don't want you to know."

  • Nope. While Jared doesn’t dumb things down, he explains things clearly. Think of it like reading at the edge of your understanding: challenging enough to make you smarter, accessible enough to actually finish. If you're curious about markets and willing to occasionally Google a term, you'll be fine.

  • Long enough to be valuable, short enough to read in 5–10 minutes. You can finish it over coffee.

  • Not at all. Market Nonsense is free forever. That said, if you want more of this kind of thinking but with actionable trade ideas, Jared's paid services take it further. But there's no pressure.

  • Anyone who wants to be smarter about markets without getting an MBA. Our readers range from retail investors to finance pros who share it for the sharp takes. If you're curious and can handle some cynicism, you'll fit right in.
