Gold

I posted the chart below in the MP Alumni forum last week.   I did so for the same reason someone drops a stone in a pond – they want to see where the ripples go. Often the issue with trading or investing is a closed mind or a mind that is set on a…

This Guy Got $58 Million for 15 Months of Work

Henrique de Castro was booted as COO by Marissa Mayer after she personally poached him from Google about 15 months earlier. Mayer said de Castro “was not a fit and that’s a regrettable conclusion,” but he still walked with $58 million in salary, bonuses and stock. Source – Time I could be twice as incompetent…

Don’t Be A Member Of The Hedge Fund Club

I believe it was the American writer HL Menken who once said you will never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. A statement that is probably a bit harsh on the Yanks but one that can definitely be applied to those who invest in hedge funds. 2013 was another great year for…

Careful Who You Let Into Your Head

I try to maintain fairly diversified reading habits. I am a believer that some of the best books about trading never mention trading but rather deal with people and their fallibilities and their successes.

The Lefsetz Letter – Flash Boys Rule

I am fan of and subscriber to the Lefsetz Letter – a music industry commentary by Bob Lefstez who has been around longer than I have . Interestingly, a lot of his commentary is about issues that are wider than music alone. This is to be expected because music is both a social and technological…

Ferrari F12

My opinion of the latest Ferrari’s is slowly changing – I thought the Modena was the high point of their recent designs but this one looks pretty good. Although they do still seem to be built for Hobbits.

NASDAQ…. Again

Within trading one of the things that is often missing is the need for perspective, the noise that accompanies the markets generally obscures what is actually happening.
