The title was unnecessarily provocative, a reflection of my mood at the time of writing it. (It's Sunday; I'm hung-over; and I was looking at the results of a four day simulation run that were ambiguous.) My priority is in "beating the markets" because it's a fascinating challenge. I also have interests that lie beyond satisfying my intellectual curiosity but require wealth. I find the idea of using my own wealth to solve problems (e.g. avenues of cancer research) far more appealing than fund-raising or requiring public funds.
