Born Famous? – by Jason McIntosh

How many people are born famous? Not many, right? With a few exceptions, fame is a by-product of success. The spotlight typically only shines on people after they’ve made it.

2020 Porsche Taycan EV Review

Befitting the Taycan’s status as a performance-oriented EV, trying to describe the acceleration is an all-you-can-eat grab bag of cliché and hyperbole.

Loss Aversion Again

The topic of loss aversion made an appearance briefly in my reading list again last week and as usual, the author hadn’t really thought about the problem and had merely parroted the usual stuff as to why traders cant take losses. For those who are unfamiliar with the basis for loss aversion it simply states …

Whats The Best Form Of Market Exposure?

I have mentioned before that the only thing I got from Australian history at school aside from our national preoccupation with celebrating defeat (Gallipoli) and eulogising drunken brawls (Rum Rebellion and Eureka Stockade) was the fact that the people who made the real money from our various gold rushes were the people who sold the…
