Have You Ever Wondered Why Fund Managers Do So Badly?
If so here is your answer. I snipped this out of a conversation going on in the Mentor Program Alumni forum and as is my habit whenever someone makes a bold pronouncement regarding something like stops I like to dig a little deeper.

Game Theory: Jane Austen Had It First
From the NYT – It’s not every day that someone stumbles upon a major new strategic thinker during family movie night.

Gold and Silver – Where Do We Go From Here?
The above title is not mine – I pinched it from a blog called Behavioural Macro that someone emailed me a link to. I used it because it is instructive of a number of failings that traders have.
