The Mood of Wall Street
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…
How to fail
Interesting piece by Seth Godin on failure. As a trader failure is part of our day to day existence and a fear of failure is one of the reasons many cannot trade. Trading is unique in that you effectively fail your way to success – something that would be impossible in most other professions. The…
Bridgewater

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:…

Delusions
I came across an interesting paper the other day that look at the changing nature of delusions within populations presenting at US psychiatric hospitals. The researchers found something very interesting but fairly obvious. The nature of delusions is changing in that it is reflective of the culture at the time. The authors found that –…

Michael Steinhardt Part Two
These rules were pulled from a speech he gave – 1. Make all your mistakes early in life: The more tough lessons you learn early on, the fewer (bigger) errors you make later. A common mistake of all young investors is to be too trusting with brokers, analysts, and newsletters who are trying to sell you…
