Rereading his fooled by randomness book now. Read these books by him so far

1. Fooled by randomness
2. The black swan
3. Antifragile
4. Skin in the game

For me black swan was the eye opener and antifragile opened my mind to lots of ideas.

Was introduced to this book (fooled by randomness) during a stock market seminar and then went on to read all the other books written by him.

Hi, do you think you will do anything practical with the idea?

What's medium risk anyway?

I crave for discussions in these but can't find any real people in Singapore who are interested :)

Here's why. Nassim is boring and he just wants to swing you to his point of view. It's all about his perspective and bringing some examples in to his advantages.

For example, resting on bed (low risk) and deep sea diving (high risk). Would you do that everyday? Or would you rather run or cycle (both medium risk activities)
