Random Thoughts

Sadly, there's no twelve-step process for eradicating envy from your life. The best advice for investors is probably Sir John Templeton's admonition: 'It is impossible to produce superior performance unless you do something different from the majority.' On a more personal level, we'll leave the last word to Charlie Munger: 'Learn how to ignore the examples from others when they are wrong, because few skills are more worth having.'

I love baroque art. It's natural and spontaneous.
