Here is some of what I have been reading since April 17th:
- Acts of kindness spread surprisingly easily
"When people benefit from kindness they pay it forward by helping others who were not originally involved, and this creates a cascade of cooperation that influences dozens more in a social network." - Brief meditative exercise helps cognition
"new research now suggests that the mind may be easier to cognitively train than we previously believed. Psychologists studying the effects of a meditation technique known as "mindfulness " found that meditation-trained participants showed a significant improvement in their critical cognitive skills…after only four days of training for only 20 minutes each day." - Memristor emulates neural learning
One more step to the singularity: electronic circuits that can learn similar to hos synapses of the brain work - Investing Insights From a Top Fund Manager
From Morningstar's domestic stock manager of the decade and manager of the year for 2009: "In investing, there are really two ways to go: to predict or to react to what happens. My prediction abilities are zero. So I go the other way: When what I don’t know happens, I make sure to be in a position with enough cash to take advantage of it." - How to find gold in SEC filings
"In 10-Ks and 10-Qs, look for the list of the company's risk factors and look at the financials. See whether there are significant differences from what the company reports in its press release."
That's it. What Next?
