I am not nearly a good enough statistician to give a good critique of Talib's theories.
But I do recall a great article that was very informative and for the life of me, I can not find it.
Does anyone here know what I'm talking about, or did I just dream of an excellent Taleb counter point?
- mkn 18y agoYou're not dreaming. I remember that it was an article about how to allocate your portfolio according to the risk inherent in the various investment options. It appeared here on hacker news, and yes, it put the lie to a lot of Taleb's claims about risk and investing. I am not nearly a good enough statistician to give a good critique of Talib's theories. Neither is he. (rimshot)

- biohacker42 18y agoYes, thank you, that's the article I am talking about. And it had the name of a mathematical theorem for investing, I think a girl's name.
- paraschopra 18y agoI am a self professed big fan of Taleb and his writings so would be really interesting to read counter points to his philosophy. Know the link to the article?
