Gender Male

Location NSW, Australia
Introduction Having decided as a 14 year old I wanted a career in Finance I have spent the intervening 27 years with the aim of improving my understanding. I was lucky enough to get a dealing job when I was 18 and have been a successful Trader, Portfolio Manager and Strategist across many markets.
I believe more in Minsky than Keynes but favour both over Hayek, Von Mises or Friedman. I think Kahneman, Tversky and Smith offer more than Fama, French, Merton,Black or Scholes. I believe in black swans, making money slowly and keeping it.
Favorite Books Mandlebrot and Hudson "The Misbehaviour of Markets", Hackett Fischer "The Great Wave - Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History, Taleb "Black Swan" and "Fooled by Randomness"
