Facts, arithmetic and thinking

“Thinking is very upsetting, it tells us things we’d rather not know.”

Dear fellow investors

It has been said that successful investing is something of an art and something of a science. I believe the science part is rather easy. It is the “art” part that separates the good from the ordinary. Of course the “art” part can include the successful use of the science part as well, so it can be rather contradictory.

Today I want to share with you a very interesting and informing speech and lecture that you might have seen before, but if not, try to make the time to watch the video or read the transcript. If nothing else, it will make you challenge the “growth curves” of the next investment presentation a bit more suspiciously.
