Title: I like this book
Product review: I like this book because it's intellectually stimulating. It doesn't matter that I don't agree with some parts, while others I agree with strongly. What matters is that it makes you think of things you haven't thought about before. And that's the most important part.I agree with the main theme of the book, that people underestimate the role of chance and overestimate their skills. It's cool, and often funny, to see the book discuss many of examples of this.I disagree that financial markets are a random walk. I think there's a lot of randomness there, but since people are involved I think there's got to be a lot of non random characteristics.If markets were purely random, in the mathematical sense, I don't think people like Taleb, even mathematicians, could make money trading.
