Glengarry Glen Ross

Here is Alec Baldwin as Blake in the movie Glengarry Glen Ross. Written originally by David Mamet as a play, it debuted in London in 1983 and then shown later the same year in NY and Chicago. In 1992 it was adapted for film.

Baldwin almost didn’t play this part: He left the project after signing on due to a contract dispute. He reconsidered knowing the script was one of the best he’d ever read.

The Morning I Get To Hell from Loose Music on Vimeo.

Robert Burke is one of my best friends from childhood and he’s a world-class musician. His new band, The Duke & The King, are making some great music and getting a lot of attention for it.

Here’s a video of their song The Morning I Get To Hell from their album Nothing Gold Can Stay. It was recorded on the BBC about a month ago.

Jim Rogers on Charlie Rose in ’95

Jim Rogers, in my mind’s eye is the best purely fundamental trader. Listen to him delineate his theory on China – more than 10 years before his book A Bull on China was published. One of my classes at UCLA is dedicated solely to his fundamental manner of studying markets and commodities.

Listen closely to the segment at the 14:42 mark…

Charlie Rose: Where would you put your money right now?

Jim Rogers: If you want to invest in markets, you should put your money in the commodity markets…you should be buying SUGAR…(Rose cuts him off)…

Charlie Rose: Oh man, that’s…, c’mon Jim – that’s a fool’s errand.

I choked on my words and stuttered, but ultimately held my own after some encouraging words from Manish before going on: “You’ll be fine. You’re on right after Rakesh Jhunjhunwala” and “You’re probably the only white guy who will be on all year.” It was about 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the studio. Other than that, it was a piece of cake.

Udayan and Mitali wanted to know about stock picks and “what do you think of XYZ?” But that’s their model: they are used to getting lots of tips and tricks. I was just sticking to my model. Stick to YOUR model.

This was filmed on July 14, 2005 in Mumbai.

George Soros

George Soros is living proof that the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is complete garbage. In fact, he takes on the fallacy of EMH in this interview. His historical rate of return eclipses Warren Buffett’s. He is a trend follower to the extreme and in his opinion, the worst error a trader can make is not being bold enough when you’re right on a position.
