Let’s talk for a minute about the etiquette of gifting books. The etiquette is that you probably shouldn’t do it. First of all, there is a 99% chance that you’re going to gift a book that someone won’t like. You’re gifting it because you like it, but you don’t know what the other person likes, so it will probably sit on a shelf somewhere. Second of all, it’s like gifting someone a vacuum cleaner. Great, but now I have to spend ten hours cleaning the house.

Creativity Feeds On Itself

People can easily give up big luxuries—they can drive a cheaper car—but they cannot give up small luxuries.

Diversification is for people who don’t know what they are doing. Which is most people. But if you have an edge, or you’re betting on yourself, put all your eggs in one basket in the stock-picking contest of life. For everyone else, there are target retirement date funds.

Chances are you did not pick your investing style. It is a feature of your personality, and it has always been with you.

All the evil of this world, and a little bit of good too
