Lessons from successful investors
How we mess up the
success of our portfolios
“Fidelity Reviewed
Which Investors Did Best And What They Found Was Hilarious” was the headlines
of an article in 2014. Can you guess what was hilarious?
If you want good investment performance, forget you have an account. Yes
Fidelity found that the accounts that did the best were those held by customers
that were dead. In other words accounts that were left alone. Many studies show
that we think too much and “buy
high and sell low.” Emotions emerge as the great actor when it comes to
investing for most of us. We read the financial environment all wrong.

Miracles that made our world
Our Universe is a
miracle
Light is both
a particle and a wave depending on how we look at the light.
I
don’t think that there is any such thing as a position or a velocity of a
particle.
Everything (galaxies
to stones) in universe made of subatomic
energy ‘vibrations’
A subatomic ‘particle’
is the smallest possible vibration (quantum) of a quantum field.
A ‘particle’ is an event;
not an objective thing. This event is set of complex relationships.
New theory may
finally unite
Einstein's gravity with the quantum world
Our Reality May Be a
Sum
of All Possible Realities
Mass–energy
equivalence: E=mc^2. At the smallest
level; Everything is moving
Energy into matter: scientists
converted light energy directly into matter in one step
In place of atomic
lattice, light
waves used to create an optical lattice with same geometry
Physics Nobel Prize:
“entanglement” 2
particles share info instantly at a distance
Quantum
mechanics violates local realism: two objects behave as single system at
distance
New
theory: no need for dark matter; dark energy: energy in universe due to erratic spacetime
“It may be that gravity and quantum mechanics are
exactly the same thing,” Leonard Susskind
Gravity
might induce the collapse of quantum vibrations into 1 quantum state—our
world
Strange state
of physics that allows energy
to flow frictionlessly through a material.
Bending light from
extreme gravity reveals largest black hole so
far
Curved
SpaceTime: heavy masses and simultaneously quantum effects become visible
There is no TIME at this
level because of force fields come and go in all directions.
Universe expanding: events
may not come together like they did before: created our time.
Our planetary
system: rarest
system: only 1% of all systems with same number of planets
Stars fueled by the self-annihilation
of dark matter might have been spotted for the first time by JWST
Inside protons,
neutrons, it
is the fields of the virtual particles that creates its mass.
Gold
made from neutron stars: collisions produce more neutrons:79 protons,118
neutrons
The proton
is so complicated science still finds new energy entities/forces every
year.
“Empty space is a
boiling, bubbling brew of virtual
particles that pop in and out of existence in a time scale so short that you
can’t even measure them.” Space expanding.
New method to study systems
with long-range interactions: previously puzzling experts
The electricity we use comes
from the field around the wire not from electron itself.
Natural
‘missing law’ explain
how
universe evolved: functions increase in complexity over time
Scientists
build 'baby' wormhole as sci-fi moves closer to fact: inside quantum
computer
starts-with-a-bang/universe-expansion-not-accelerating/
Physicists knew black
holes eventually disappear particle by particle. Now they think everything
else does, too.
Astronomers
discover raw
materials for life are present all across the Universe: methyl cation
New
Astrophysical Models: Earth’s
Building Blocks Contained Water: metal oxides
