Nature does not hurry

when we are light and fit we are doing everything according to nature

Stand alone to win BIG

The only serious money I have made came when I have stood alone with a unique perception as to what was happening to a company, an industry a country, or even the western world.

this is why you will never make money with anything that is in the front page of a newspaper, if it's in the first page it's in the price.

What is obvious never makes money

funds with facial unattractive managers outperform funds with attractive managers by over 2% per annum

According to Nassim Taleb if you want to choose a doctor you should always choose the ugly one, that makes sense because they had to overcome a lot to reach where they are now. Attractive people benefit from help all the way. Now we know that if a fund manager is "less attractive" he also had to overcome a lot. The world is fair, the very poor have a will to win that the rich kids don't have and that is a big equalizer. Now we know that the unattractive do better than the.... Everything is well.

 In this paper, we study the relationship between stock fund managers’ facial attractiveness and fund outcomes. Utilizing the state-of-art deep learning technique to quantify facial attractiveness, we find that funds with facial unattractive managers outperform funds with attractive managers by over 2% per annum. We next show that good-looking managers attract significant higher fund flow especially if the funds are available on Fintech platforms where their photos are accessible to investors. Good-looking managers also have greater chance of promotion and tend to move to small firms. The potential explanations for their underperformance include inadequate ability, insufficient effort, overconfidence and inefficient site visits.

We have decided to side with the many

We have decided to side with the many.

all the companies that decide to help the customer instead of taking the money from the customer are doing very well. Not companies that lose money in everything they do and have to raise capital over and over. Companies that do good and make money. IKEA is exactly that.

“It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt, Looking Forward

“This is not a new idea; this is the idea of the age of reason. This is the philosophy that guided the men that made the democracy that we live under. The idea that no one really knew how to run a government led to the idea that we should arrange a system by which new ideas could be developed, tried out, and tossed out if necessary, with more new ideas brought in—a trial and error system.”
― Richard P. Feynman, What Do You Care What Other People Think?

If you have a stop loss you can do anything. the stop loss is more important than the signal. You can do whatever you want in life. You can live with whoever you want, buy houses, stocks Funds, coins, cryptos, paints etc...

Never let the future disturb you

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.
