Product Information

Preface: The game we create with it is an irrational one, and we play it better when we realize that, even as we try to bring rationality to it. I found a number of the narratives amusing. There is certainly truth in sarcasm particularly the need to separate your identity from money. If you look at the markets as a game, especially since these markets take on a mob mentality, then you are more likely to be able to remove yourself and very importantly your self worth from it.

It is wrong because it behaves normally.”— Fred Kelly, Why You Win or Lose: The Psychology of Speculation, 1930 Accounting standards and financial statements imply precision too, yet earnings can be manipulated up or down any number of ways. Example: there is no uniformity between companies on depreciation charges, amortization, inventory valuation, or goodwill.
