“The surest way to disrupt the quantitative tyranny of predictive analytics is demonstrable self-improvement. Individuals and organizations alike have to move away from the notion of analytics as the key to insight and towards the belief that they’re the GPS of transformation. Self-improvement, not self-knowledge, is the goal.”

Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs: YTD, I have actually traded 24 companies for an average gain of $100 per trade. I know, my blog only records 9 for 10. But, that should tell you how blogging is easier said than done. I went all in on JOEZ on 4/10/13 @ $2.00 a share. I placed a $12,000 bet on JOEZ for a 5 cent increase. I “could of” made a $285 net gain. The next day, it only went up 3 cents. I “should of” sold for a smaller gain. I “would of” but wishful thinking got in the way. To make a long story short, it only took one bad trade to undo 24 gains. If you want to play the fool, blog about your stock trades.

“On Apr. 15, 1947, Robinson trotted onto Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field as the first African-American in the 20th century to play major-league baseball. Because of his impact and heroic stoicism with which he bore racial insults from some players and managers, the baseball hierarchy “retired” Robinson’s uniform number, 42, in 1997. (Today, only the Yankees’ Mariano Rivera, whose major-league career began in 1995, still has that number on his back.) Tomorrow is the annual Jackie Robinson Day, when all players wear 42 in his honor.”
