Taleb is not a source of investing advice - unless you were interested in trading, in which case he has a few points.


Taleb is not a source of investing advice at all - he merely illustrates his philosophy with examples from finance as it's something he's more than familiar with.

I'll rephrase for hassy. "investing" is for suckers. the only people making any money in the market are professional traders who aren't at all making decisions based on "trends" or "fundamentals".

see: dynamic hedging by nasim taleb--a book that sits on many professional traders desks in which taleb makes more than a few points about trading.
