I did a radio interview today. The host asked me what was the common theme in my books. I said, "If you're so rich, how come you're not smart. what ZI was getting at was: why do people with money make their investment decisions with their emotions, so they fall for schemes, fads, bubbles? It's been going on forever, and shows no signs of slowing down

Buying Plywood5/28/2021 It's just about hurricane season. The nightly news shows always show people frantically buying plywood and nailing the panels over the windows and doors on their homes. This is one of the set pieces in the news reports, along with for the last year, vaccine bottles going down the conveyor belt, and people getting inoculated. There are other, sadder stories that are unfortunately repeated just about every night. They could pretty much just show the same news over and over. Sometimes I skip the news and just watch dogs surfing on YouTube.

The Tide has Turned5/13/2021 I came across this quote from Dr. Strangelove: "Mr. President, if I may speak freely, the Russkie talks big, but frankly, we think he's short of know how. I mean, you just can't expect a bunch of ignorant peons to understand a machine like some of our boys. And that's not meant as an insult, Mr. Ambassador" That was U.S. Air Force General Buck Turdgeson speaking to the President of the United States. The movie was made in 1963. But it looks like the Russians are beating us in Cyber Hacking. It's time to pay attention.

Size of Commitment5/5/2021 Years ago I worked in an office with a young guy who had quite a large belly for someone his age. The first day of work after New Year's he came to me an announced. "I'm going on a diet" I asked what kind of diet. "I"m switching to Lite Beer," he said. I laughed. Then it became evident that he was serious. That was the size of his commitment. I'll let you guess whether or not his diet was a success. So that's my message for today: The Size of Your Commitment matters.

But if I was a Comedian, and I did impressions, I would like to do William Shatner practicing to play the role of Hamlet. Imagine how many different ways he could say "To Be or Not To Be"  |
