Readers. Of a story, or narrative. They are not necessarily the smartest people in the room — often they seem quite unimpressive — yet they seem to have an intuition, a way of putting together the story, that is more true. This leads to another conclusion. That it is the reading (or creation) of stories that is at the heart of all financial analysis. Markets are not rational machines, they are giant narratives in which “the facts” are just details for the myth making. In a sense it is a statement of the obvious to say that humans have been, and always will be, moved mostly by stories, but the obvious has been forgotten, subsumed under mountains of quasi-scientific analysis.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2012/04/only-bards-do-well-in-markets/">Only bards do well in markets - MacroBusiness</a></em>http://blog.cammacrae.com/post/22042129123http://blog.cammacrae.com/post/22042129123Sun, 29 Apr 2012 21:25:00 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m33i3eGGSI1qzjgp2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>4th wife flies free…</p>http://blog.cammacrae.com/post/21853164722http://blog.cammacrae.com/post/21853164722Fri, 27 Apr 2012 02:35:38 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m30eyetUcg1qa70eyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(<a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://vintagegal.tumblr.com/post/21750326095/actress-stella-stevens-c-1971">vintagegal</a>):</p> <p>Actress Stella Stevens c. 1971</p>http://blog.cammacrae.com/post/21774572360http://blog.cammacrae.com/post/21774572360Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:43:35 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1c51bo1Ot1qcvsvao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://blog.cammacrae.com/post/21718718881http://blog.cammacrae.com/post/21718718881Wed, 25 Apr 2012 02:10:34 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2m9djawgT1qbgx04o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://blog.cammacrae.com/post/21648937524http://blog.cammacrae.com/post/21648937524Tue, 24 Apr 2012 01:31:08 +1000
