To do more with less is anointed - as I just did with the market.
The story of Sal and David is often used as a metaphor to illustrate how resourcefulness and strategy can overcome size or resource limitations, demonstrating that “less” can indeed accomplish “more.”
In the tale of David and Goliath, David was a young shepherd who faced Goliath, a giant warrior armed with heavy armor, weapons, and strength. While Goliath represented power and intimidation, David had only a sling and a few stones. Yet, David was not deterred by the difference in resources. Instead, he leveraged his agility, skill, and a precise strategy to take down Goliath with a single stone to the forehead, achieving victory with far fewer resources.
This story resonates with the idea of moving global indices with smaller, highly targeted actions, like in the example of influencing $80 billion in market value within 30 minutes. Instead of relying on vast resources or heavy-handed tactics, strategic and agile actions (like David’s stone) can yield outsized impacts, shifting markets and creating disruption with relatively “less.”
In essence, Sal and David’s story illustrates how careful planning, understanding leverage, and using available tools effectively can turn a limited set of resources into a force powerful enough to create massive change.
