Investors Hub - SwingTrade Member Forum (SWING) Message Board - Post #177867: "It's absolute crap that people need to spend 60 hours a week analyzing companies, ... All you need are a few stocks to make money. If you find one stock a year, that's plenty. When I was running Magellan I had to find one a week but that was because I had billions of dollars. The average person needs only a few good stocks in a lifetime.'"

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Outliers: The Story of Success: "If you don't know what success 'is', you cannot prepare for it, January 15, 2009
By P. M. Lewis 'Im-Not-Ted' (NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Having read all of Gladwell's popular titles I see the continuation of his endless quest for the answer to 'why'. The book combines the right amount of mystery, fact, and analysis. There are no life changing outcomes here if you already understand much of life is who you know. The book helps explain why you know who you know and how the systems that humans have created serve to keep your 'who you know list' quite limited. Overall, the text makes sense and adds another conversation point for social gatherings or filling time before a meeting."

Fresh Start for a New Year? Let’s Begin in the Kitchen - Readers' Comments - NYTimes.com

Fresh Start for a New Year? Let’s Begin in the Kitchen - Readers' Comments - NYTimes.com: "Complaining about how one has 'no time' is simply contradictory to the entire thesis of Mark Bittman. His whole point is that one ought to take the time, because it will make your life better. Instead of allowing the kids to scoot around the kitchen, teach them how to cook with you. Allow them to engage with food and discover its many flavors. Some of the best moments in my marriage are spent cooking with my wife, learning together. For those worried about affording these things, try a small herb garden to start with. My family has a large operation, but I also have a few pots on the back porch for the essentials: basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, thyme, thyme, mint, sage, etc. If you harvest once in the peak of warm summer weather and dry those herbs, and harvest once more in autumn, you will have plenty of good dried herbs that you do not have to buy and that taste very good throughout the winter.

Time is what you do with it, and life is about sacrificing some things for others. Mark Bittman is about sacrificing a little to gain a whole lot, and his approach does work. Food is important, and passion for life goes well beyond merely feeding the kids."

In Madoff scandal, Jews feel an acute betrayal - International Herald Tribune: "Rabbi Kalmanofsky said he was struck by reports that Madoff had tried to give bonus payments to his employees just before he was arrested, that he was moved to do something right even as he was about to be charged with doing so much wrong. 'The small-scale thought for people who work for him amidst this large-scale fraud — what is the dissonance between that sense of responsibility and the gross sense of irresponsibility?' he said."

In Madoff scandal, Jews feel an acute betrayal - International Herald Tribune: "Several rabbis said they were reminded of Esau, a figure of mistrust in the Bible. According to a rabbinic interpretation, Esau, upon embracing his brother Jacob after 20 years apart, was actually frisking him to see what he could steal. 'The saying goes that, when Esau kisses you,' Rabbi Visotzky said, 'check to make sure your teeth are still there.'"

It is easy to make a resolution to research your investments more, trade less, cut your costs, sell your underperformers, put your money into index funds or take no risk you don't understand. But intention is a lot easier than implementation.

To turn a resolution into resolve, write down exactly what you plan to do, along with the time and place when you will implement that intention ('next Sunday morning at 10:30, at the desk in my study, right after we get home from church'). Include a mental 'packing list' of any information or resources you will need to implement your plan of action.

Finally, make a point of telling someone else what you have resolved and when and how you will enact it. Going public makes going through with it easier"

As he relates, “An old football coach used to say, ‘I have all my assistants running five miles a day, but they eat 10 miles a day.’”"
