by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
|
|
 A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives.
Why do we not acknowledge the phenomeno... more info>>

Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets [Secure eReader (recommended)/Microsoft Reader/Adobe PDF]

Taleb (the founder of Empirica L.L.C., a trading firm and risk research organization) retains that central message in his revised examination of randomness and the consistent inability of humans to recognize it. He explores ways of dis... more info>>
