Proof of the pudding ...

... Taleb's `Black Swan' Investors Post Gains as Markets Take Dive. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Unfortuanately, I don't believe that either Dave or I has taken advantage of this.

    Me neither, but Mr Nicolas Taleb i dining out on it! You can't move for him over here at the moment. Cheltenham festival, interview in the times, Newsnight (TV programme) etc. He's got it made as the new guru of post-acolyptic business strategy - and I still don't understand what precisely he is saying about the markets (apart from "act sensibly and economic models don't work" which everyone except the actual bankers knew anyway).

  2. That's an inspired head; whoever conceived it deserves a promo! (And, since I'm feeling like a black sheep today, might as well add: Gotta wonder if the ratings will be higher for the Phillies or the debate; I think that will be the best index on how Americans really feel about the economy.)
