Science journalist Anil Ananthaswamy thinks a lot about “self” — not necessarily himself, but the role the brain plays in our notions of self and existence. In his new book, The Man Who Wasn’t There, Ananthaswamy examines the ways people think of themselves and how those perceptions can be distorted by brain conditions, such as…
Apparently, the long winded title above is from a study that says that when text and walk you have a tendency to bang into thing – no shit Sherlock. It should also mention that you give the rest of us the shits when you bang into us.
Investors trading stocks with assistance of financial advisers are more diversified and overcome some common pitfalls, a new working paper from European researchers found. But they are worse off overall than investors who trade independently, because their stock purchases underperform, the study says. The findings suggest advisers “do not help investors make superior stock purchases,”…
With all the chatter about ETF’s I thought I would generate a dodgy collection of ETF’s and then look at their current market capitalisation. When I started the exercise I was interested to see where the liquidity risk might lie within the spectrum of the ETF’s I was looking at. When looking at an instrument…
The next time you sit down to read the business section of the paper or watch one of the business shows consider this – “The more people believed they knew about finances in general, the more likely they were to overclaim knowledge of the fictitious financial terms.

This is a rare feel-good story about financial literacy. In 1996, John Rogers, head of $11 billion Ariel Investments, helped start an elementary school focused on financial education in a low-income neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. Each class gets a portfolio and buys and sells its own stocks. Students get a portion of…
Let’s agree right off the bat that $25 million is a lot of money. Sure, to paraphrase Chris Rock (NSFW), if Bill Gates woke up tomorrow with a net worth of $25 million, he’d jump out a window. But to the vast majority of us, it’s a huge sum, more than enough to make some dreams come…
Just when you think something interesting might be about to happen. Although, in the short term it is hard to see any dramatic break to the upside when the number of shares doing the heavy lifting seems to be tapering off.
Whenever I wonder why things dont work all that well in Australia, or I look at Asia and see some of the stunning progress that is being made by countries that lack all of our natural advantages. I am reminded that young people who do things such as winning a Gold Medal at the International Maths…
ROCHESTER, MN—In an effort to help working individuals improve their fitness and well-being, experts at the Mayo Clinic issued a new set of health guidelines Thursday recommending that Americans stand up at their desk, leave their office, and never return. “Many Americans spend a minimum of eight hours per day sitting in an office, but…
I have noted that over the past few months the ad’s extolling people to buy gold have disappeared from the radio and the best comment I have heard about gold lately is that its a pet rock. What does intrigue me though is that gold bugs seem to be the only people in the world…
Schlappig, 25, is one of the biggest stars among an elite group of obsessive flyers whose mission is to outwit the airlines. They’re self-styled competitors with a singular objective: fly for free, as much as they can, without getting caught. In the past 20 years, the Internet has drawn together this strange band of savants…
Tesla have just announced that their Model S sedan will now come with an optional ludicrous speed mode. This promises to push the hyperactive buzz box to 100 kph in around 2.8 seconds. To put that into context the quickest bus I have owned will do it in about 4.4 seconds and a $3,000,000.00 plus…
