A close friend was recently asked to share something they believe that most people would disagree with. Their immediate reply: "capitalism is the highest impact force for prosperity & progress in the world."
I'm bummed that this is truly a contrarian idea these days.
User experience is often a focus of new tech, however a great product can overcome that challenge. I observe two apps I use daily:
Bloomberg - horrible interface, extremely deep data product.
Zoom - homogenous product, brilliantly simple interface.
Both market leaders.

Solid interview w/ Nick Train. “All great investors are very very bright people, but I know a lot of bright people who turn out to be not good investors.”

Just had conversation with a British couple who have a holiday home near us. They voted for Brexit and have made no arrangements whatsoever for what happens on Jan 1. They have now discovered the reality of their situation.
The blame apparently is with "Brussels".

Michael Bloomberg started his company in 1981. He was already 39 years old. He faced large incumbents with tens of thousands of installed terminals and by global news agencies.
Let's take a look at how he cracked the code to become the dominant player in financial information

Today I’m going to walk you through a very important concept in finance...
Warren Buffett popularized the concept of float, but less well-known are other “float-like” liabilities that can produce similar results...

Great thread on adapting and challenging existing knowledge because knowledge is a point in time measure - and it changes!
1/ Thread: Half-life of Investing
Until 1965, medical students were taught the number of chromosome in a human cell to be 48.
What was remarkable is two researchers found the number to be 46 in 1956, yet almost for a decade students continued to learn the incorrect number.
