Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Summary

A disappointment for fans of the other books from Mr. Taleb. I am a fan of Mr. Taleb but this book comes short of the expectation that we would have a theory or construct that it can be applied in our daily struggle with trading (or other line of work).

Tom Jacobs and John Del Vecchio: What’s Behind the Numbers

Google Talk on the book What’s Behind the Numbers by the authors.

Note: It is 1 hour 16 minutes long.

I choose this video because it is a great alternative if you find reading the book is too time consuming.

If you are interesting in trading stocks (and the indices), their work can convince you stop believing in many myths produced by the Wall Street marketing machine.

The question and answer session after their presentation is also a good one.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Antifragile

Mr. Taleb’s talk of the concepts from his book Antifragile.

Note: It is a long talk. Google talks are usually an hour long.

The nice thing about this talk is that it actually adds to the book.

It is also a nice summary in case you are not interested in reading the book.

Meat of the talk is not the part he was doing the presentation. It is the conversation Mr. Taleb had with the audience. It is rare that you get an intelligent crowd who can ask very smart questions these days as book publishers will make sure it does not happen.

Mr. Taleb has my respect that he was not afraid at all to handle any question threw at him.
