I have never been a Paul Farrell fan but did like this one. Not surprised that nowhere did I see you need a high intelligence or any in depth knowledge of math and stats. 2+2 = 4 always worked best for me. In my opinion by far, numero uno, especially when it comes to investing/trading is Number One - "Think Different Be Different". A close second investing/trading wise would be Number 6 "Get Rich In A Narrow Niche".

I admire those of you that have been married to the same spouse your entire adult life. But number 9 I failed miserably and with no regrets whatsoever.

    It's hard to believe Paul Farrell was a Marine.

    I have recommended the "Millionaire Next Door" book several times here. The numbers data are "old", being from 1996; but the "how to" is never changing.
    We have given this book several times as one of the wedding gifts; to help the newlyweds sort out important money matters, and dump bad monetary habits.
    The book is available on Amazon (use the MFO link).

    I like this Farrell write, too. Thank you for posting.

    Take care,
    Catch

    Please tell me what irrational means in this context. Does it just mean doesn't care much about money?
