First 200 pages of "The Black Swan" by N. Taleb

Actually this is summary for pages #101-200.

Interesting fact #1 - Hidden witnesses - we know how things are going only from "survived" witnesses/victors/heroes. And so why don't take in account % of losers.

Interesting fact #2 - Relying on fortune to much is bad strategy. Someone decide he is unique/lucky all the time.

Interesting fact #3 - To feel better - constant (even "micro") positive influences/purchases/news are better than One Big. And vice versa in case of negative - better to get One Big Bad issue. And not -$1 every day.

Interesting fact #4 - Better to always be prepared to minimize influence of Black Swan.
