Title: Pompous
Product review: Hmmm...there are so many things wrong with the ramble, that it is hard to know where to begin. Taleb is at his best when decribing traders, but as a bearish bitter put buyer who has seen all of those dream teenies go out worthless, it is disingenuous to seperate the world into niederhoffers and talebs...there are plenty of the rest of us in between, and frankly, most traders make most of their money jobbing in and out of trades over short periods of time. Also, really guy, no one cares how many times you go to the gym. Honestly...Finally, for someone who professes not to care about the media, and pseudo-academics, he has a lot of quotes on the back cover from his friends in academia and finance...coincidence, or maybe his only black swan.....PS why the trashing of MBAs...sorry Wharton was so disappointing for him, maybe he should have sold a few more puts and gone out boozing with friends a little more....
