Ladies and gentlemen, this man is the epitome of epistemic arrogance. Here we have all the great investors and traders giving luck its due respect in their success, but to Volpri, no such thing exists. He knows what all the greats traders & investors don't know. Jim Simons, whom has the enviable track record in financial market history as far as public knowledge goes, crediting luck its due respect, but nope, not Volpri. Nassim is wrong, Simons is wrong, Buffet is wrong, Cooperman is wrong, Munger is wrong. Sh*t everybody is wrong!
@volpri I still wonder what you think my premises are, please do enlighten me. I forgot your dyslexic and have no ability to read nor comprehend jacksh*t. Remember when you thought the guy who predicted "at least 50 pages" meant "50 pages max". You did apologize, but I believe you've continued to commit this mistake because it is pervasive in all of your responses that you don't have a clue about anything. I'm not convinced you even know what it is I am arguing, and at least 5 pages wasted on gibberish between me and you. Grow up.
I don’t believe in luck. You do and alot of others do, rich and poor. It is their prerogative to do so. Luck has NO PLACE in my life. If you wish to assign luck in your life and decisions...well good luck doing so! Simons...Buffet...Jobs...Mr T...Taleb...Livermore...the poor..downtrodden...and weak....can call it good luck, bad luck..chance or whatever. That is their right and privilege to do so. It doesn’t fit my W.V. So they carry on. I too carry on. We all leave our mark and carve our roadway as we are ABLE and WILLING to do. I suppose you may think the hardened murderous criminal IS so also because of bad luck?
You can deny entry all you want in your mind about luck, but it is pervasive in the world and in your life and in your actual being of self. Bye!
Remember sonny boy I am all grown up and I imagine quite abit older than you. I never called you an imbecile or idiot although your ideas are BS but you aren’t. However, you have resorted to calling several good folks on this thread as idiots ..imbeciles..asses...etc so may I ask WHO needs to grow up? It ain’t me sonny boy. LOL.
Bye bye! Get that term paper done sonny boy (if you are doing one) or dissertation if you are gathering info for one. Be sure and sleep with Mr Talebs books under your pillow for well....good luck!
