Wednesday, November 14, 2012. The Limits of Models. Okay, I missed my call on the Presidential election. Readers of The Naked Portfolio Manager. Know that I'm a huge proponent of using empirically-based rule sets to make decisions and predictions. So are Kenneth Bickers and Michael Berry, two University of Colorado professors, it seems. The two developed a widely cited (by the media) election forecasting model. Subject of the infamous baseball economics book Moneyball. Which brings me to an important poi...

Friday, June 29, 2012. Don Pinkleton: The Most Interesting Man in the World? I really love the Dos Equis commercials about "the most interesting man in the world." You know the one played by the Kenny Rogers-like, 1970's era bearded gentleman (played by actor Jonathan Goldsmith) who tells us at the end, "I don't always drink beer, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis. Well Jonathan, move over 'cause you've got competition. Click here to listen to the podcast. File will open with Windows Media Player). How Ri...

Tuesday, May 29, 2012. What We Can Learn From Lewis Carroll's Red Queen. In Lewis Carroll's epic story Through The Looking Glass. The Red Queen character remarks, "It takes all the running that you can do to keep in the same place.". Her statement has become a metaphor for evolutionary change in which species evolve in an ecosystem at the same rate so that no species dominates the other. The rabbits get faster and faster, but so do the foxes, so both species are kept in check. Wednesday, May 23, 2012.

Tuesday, September 20, 2011. What Role Should Prayer Have in Thinking and Decision-Making? Understand, I believe that atheists, agnostics, and theists can all be good thinkers. But after considerable reflection, I believe there exists a particular type of thinking error that affects only those who rely on Divine guidance for the important decisions in their life. Understand what I am not. Remember when earlier this year, Harold Camping predicted the world would end? Beliefs with divine guidance? Which he...

Sunday, July 29, 2012. How Fast Could You Innovate if Your Business Survival Depended On It? Do you ever wonder what it would be like to work at a company that's innovating on almost a daily basis? Mary Foley knows. She lived it, as she describes in my next podcast interview. She retired in 1999 at the ripe age of 33 and then began an introspective process of journaling (a fabulous way to stimulate creativity), which ultimately led to her writing her first book. Little did she know at the time, but h...

Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Why No Corporations Pay Taxes. I mentioned to an attorney recently that corporations never pay taxes. She looked surprised and said, "Well, of course they do.". I replied in the contrary; they did not pay any taxes. She looked perplexed and said she was certain that corporations paid taxes. Again, I assured her that no corporation had ever paid any taxes. I explained to her that if her law school professors had taught her that, they were mistaken. And when the government "taxes"...
