You could have made over 40% in a day had you speculated on the VIX on Feb. 27!


A few thoughts.

1) Hindsight is better than fore site by a damn site.

2) Thank you for correctly using the word speculate.

3) When I used to ask farmers what their average yield was, they would always tell me the best year. So what is the average return on this speculation?

I have done it and the average was not good............

We’re about there. I figure we have abt 3-4 weeks of food.

Not sure on the medicines yet. Working on that.

Thanks for posting this. Taleb should be required reading for every Freeper.

That’s why I posted it.


I would encourage others to read the article also.

Although it may not seem like it, I also appreciate the post. It made me think, although my perspective is longer term.

As a serial entrepreneur, I argue that to withstand the learning process, one must be tough, ie antifragile

Like transgender, antifragile is a perversion of the language

For prescription stuff do this. Every time you get a refill take out 2 days worth and stash it. We’ve been doing that for a couple of years. We have about 45 days worth of our maintenance meds.

Best,

Fair enough. Taleb has another concept that he writes about: “skin-in-the-game.”

Here’s a vanity on this subject:

I have to admit I made a killing when it went from $800 to $1600.
