The song was the soundtrack to an equally dreadful film called "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves".  A radio show around that time had a lovely story about a bride who asked the organist at the church to play the song from Robin Hood as she came down the...

Hugh Hendry - Full Text of Letter to Eclectica Investors

Posted: 29 Apr 2012 11:14 PM PDT

...I meet a lot of inquisitive and extremely intelligent people in this business and I have come to think that maybe this is something of a problem. Perhaps they are just too smart. Perhaps they just try too hard. Rightly or wrongly, the highest return on intellectual capital of any endeavour in the world today comes from the management of other people’s money.

Blog Post: PsyFiBlog: Crowdfunding Heroic Entrepreneurs

Posted: 29 Apr 2012 11:13 PM PDT

Ask Not  The crowdfunding provisions in the JOBS Act have provided a rich source of material for commentators both for and against the concept. Providing bright eyed innovators with seed capital seems like a good idea, but pushing small investors into dubious schemes with little chance of success is less obviously smart. In fact the crowdfunding regulations are still being created, so we...

Blog Post: AllAboutAlpha: AIFMD Developments: Movement Away From Flexibility

Posted: 29 Apr 2012 05:38 PM PDT

What was clear after even Level 1 adoption last year was that the AIFMD would require managers to disclose a good deal more to their home market authorities than has been their wont; that leverage shall be closely monitored once it is deemed to have been employed “on a substantial basis at the level of the AIF,” and leverage may well be limited outright; further, it was clear that depositary...

Posted: 29 Apr 2012 03:43 PM PDT

Adam Smith famously explained how the division of labor leads to much greater productivity, using the example of the pin factory, where he estimates a 240 and 4800 fold increase in productivity by dividing the labor into several facets. This is like the idea from "I, Pencil", which notes not a single person could completely make a pencil, and this is even more obvious for a product like an...

Blog Post: TimingLogic: How Apple Games The System To Avoid Paying Its Fair Share Of Taxes

Posted: 29 Apr 2012 06:09 AM PDT

There is a never-ending stream of people who want to project an image of Steve Jobs and Apple, as an extension of Jobs, that should be worshipped as some messianic cult hero.  Hero-worship is a delusion.   What we as human beings can apreciate are the timeless virtues oftentimes exhibited by imperfect leaders.  People who are able to rise above the human condition to achieve...
