The Evolution of an Investor by Michael Lewis

The 2007 cover story of Conde Nast Portfolio magazine is a fascinating look inside the conversion of a former broker to a more enlightened investment philosophy. Acclaimed author, Michael Lewis, discovers that there is “a new breed of investors who think you can get rich without really trying.

Golf & Data

GolfWhile most of us enjoy golf as a leisure activity to relax and unwind, my guess is that most struggling golfers (myself included!) are looking for an edge. Sounds like a good time to find the data and evidence rather than “5 Hot Tips to Add 100 Yards to Every Drive.” Just as we apply evidence to our investing methodologies, today’s professional golfers are finally catching up to data-hungry managers, coaches and players in baseball, basketball, and football. For some keen insights into the transformation in golf, click here for the Wall Street Journal article.
