Golf is like trading – it is won by the person who makes the fewest catastrophic mistakes. In managing to achieve this you need to know when to leave well enough alone. This is an example of not knowing when to leave things as they are, put your ego in your pocket and live to…
Last night I had the misfortune to catch some of the evening news whilst wandering in and out from the BBQ. During one of my kitchen runs I heard that housing in my area had suffered a MASSIVE 6% fall. This news was of course delivered by a dolly bird with a bra size bigger…
Following on from yesterdays thread on Ronald Wayne who left $58 billion on the table when he bailed on the embryonic Apple I thought it would be good to look at a case where it would have been wise to take the money. In 2008 Microsoft offered $44 billion for Yahoo – this valued the…

Bridgewater is the worlds largest hedge fund managing a staggering $94 billion and as with many such successful things it is considered to be a bit odd. If you want to understand Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest and indisputably weirdest hedge fund, you might start with the story of the peas. It goes like this:…
Interesting piece from the NY mag about the current mood on Wall Street. I am perhaps less inclined to pronounce the beast dead than the article is. Broking in Australia was pronounced dead when fixed rate commissions were abolished in the early 1980′s – it was supposed to be the end of broking yet firms…
Excellent piece by Matt Taibbi on why the Federal Reserve gave $200 in coin to two Wall Street housewives. Talk about a f%^cked up system Taibbi has in the past taken the blow torch to Goldman Sachs
