As I get older, writing stuff down pays bigger and bigger dividends. I have a series of "notes" files on various subjects, which I keep on Dropbox. When I learn something (especially something undocumented), I put it in the right file so I

I couldn't find the book that I really wanted to recommend in my earlier post. But now I've found it: "The Only Guide to a Winning Investment Strategy You'll Ever Need," by Larry Swedroe. It's the book I used to base my investing strategy o

There's Iain Banks (The Wasp Factory), and there's Iain M. Banks (other books). Same guy--the latter is science fiction, and always worthwhile; the former is his "experimental" fiction, some of which I can't figure out the point of. The Was
