Review: Brad Feld loved Sam Zell’s memoir Am I Being Too Subtle? (Brad Feld)
Quote of the Day
"In summary, describing the U.S. stock market as zero-sum before costs, then negative-sum after costs, is a fine approximation of the truth. Investors who know no further than that understand enough to succeed. It is, however, not the complete truth. The full story is somewhat more complex."
(John Rekenthaler)
