Happy Hour: Skill vs. Luck

July 25, 2014 by Jon

Welcome to the end of the week! Just sit back, relax, and enjoy this weeks roundup in another edition of Happy Hour.

Skill vs. Luck

If you’re a fan of TED Talks, take a look at the Talks at Google channel on Youtube. Google brings in authors, musicians, and other speakers to talk about their books and other topics. There’s been a couple recent videos worth watching on investing.

Michael Mauboussin covers the topic of his book – skill versus luck. You can see the video below. Another one worth watching is Mebane Faber’s talk on Global Value.

Sneak Peek

For the past month, I’ve been busy with a side project for the site. It’s meant as a resource to past performance across a number of areas. Barring any major problems, it should go live next week (fingers crossed, knock on wood). Stay tuned!
