Lästips
“Okay, you have gotten the memo on improving skill: 10,000 hours, hard work, deliberate practice, grit, and attentive teacher. We’ve all heard it. You also recognize that in many of life’s activities, the results you achieve combine skill and luck. No debate there. Now, what if I told you that in many cases improving skill leads to results that rely more on luck? That’s right. Greater skill doesn’t decrease the dependence on luck, it increases it. If you have an interest in sports, business, or investing, this lesson is for you.”
boktips till julafton evil?
tradingböcker då tack!
ha de fint!
Jag läser sällan tradingböcker nu för tiden så har inga tips där. Själv ska jag nog läsa Jack Schwager's (författare till Market Wizards-böckerna) senaste bok Market Sense and Nonsense.
#2 Inte släppt än, men 23 januari kommer en intressant tradingbok:
Traders at Work: How the World's Most Successful Traders Make Their Living in the Markets
"What mistakes did John Murphy make early on his career? What does John Bollinger wish he had known about trading? What trading strategies work best for Larry Williams? How does John Carter remain cool, calm, and collected when the markets are sending mixed signals? And how did Mike Bellafiore make the transition from part-time to full-time trader? Bourquin asks all of these questions and more in Traders at Work and in doing so reveals insider insights on what it takes to be a successful trader from those who are living that dream. Fascinating, compelling, and filled with never-before-told stories from the frontlines of the trading arena, Traders at Work is required reading for anyone who has ever asked themselves if they have what it takes to trade for a living."

Luck vs Pluck: The man who could have been Bill Gates
“Most of the successes and failures we see are a combination of skill and luck that can prove maddeningly difficult to tease apart,” you write. Can you explain that in detail?
"I open a chapter with the story of an entrepreneur who was born near Seattle who was a brilliant programmer and wrote code that effectively launched the personal computer revolution. He started a company that by 1980 had a dominant market share in the software that ran on the Intel chip. But the company’s fate was sealed in 1981 when IBM came calling and sealed a deal.
Now if you know a little about Bill Gates, you can see how that series of facts fits him pretty well. But then I share the end of the story: this tech pioneer walked into a bar in California in 1994 and hit his head bluntly as a result of a fight or a fall—the details were never clear. He died three days later. His name was Gary Kildall, and he has a floppy disk etched on his tombstone.
Chances are you’ve never heard of Gary Kildall but you have heard of Bill Gates.
When IBM executives first approached Microsoft about supplying an operating system for company’s new PC, Gates actually referred them to Digital Research (Kildall’s company). There are conflicting accounts of what happened at the meeting, but it’s fairly clear that Kildall didn’t see the significance of the IBM deal in the way that Gates did."
