Reading reviews

The first think to do is read.

I will post reviews of books starting in a couple of weeks.

I imagine it's important that the first book be an unusual one. You have to have original ideas. If you read the same thing as everyone else, you will be stuck in the same mindset as everyone else.

Many popular investing books have very good information, but perhaps the ideas have permeated the market.  They are good to read in the long haul, but the first read has to be unique.

I will start with The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature. There are many business lessons imbedded in that book.  That will help me get a fresh look at investing.

Hello world

This is a business and investing blog.

I want to get good at investing.

I figure it will take a few years of trial-and-error to become consistently successful.

This will chronicle the journey. Hold on to your seats. Woo woo.
