In an orderly and functioning market, “credibility pairs” are naturally negative preference-correlations, and such serve as a useful means for benchmarking internal plausibility curves to market. Notable exchange-traded credibility pairs include Keith Jarrett and Rick Astley (ticker: KJA:RAS); Billy Ray Cyrus and Radiohead (ticker: BRH:RHD), Toto and Grandmaster Flash (ticker: TOT:GMF)[1] and, notoriously, Gary Glitter and Rolf Harris (ticker:GGL:ROL) — the last a long and apparently stable negative correlation which when it inverted unexpectedly in 2014 caused widespread poise dislocation.
