Re: [FRIAM] Nautilus: Investing Is More Luck Than Talent

I am with you there Marcus. We all have to decide where the truth lies (no pun intended).  Listing to multiple news sources is the best way when one has the time to do it. I have at least a dozen go-to news sources that all seem to provide different, if not conflicting points of view. I don't

"Do you think Al Jazeera is also not worth listening to either?" I used to watch it more, not so much lately. I got the impression that the English version was not representative. I don't think it is directly comparable to RT. Lately Der Spiegel is relevant to my concerns, and the

Robert - Being open-minded does not mean you are brainwashed. Quite the opposite I would think ... I don't know if this is responsive to your specific intent, but when I first heard it, it was a powerful point and fit *way* too many people I know who *purport* to be "open minded" (after
