“In the financial markets, however, the connection between a marketable security and the underlying business is not as clear-cut. For investors in a marketable security the gain or loss associated with the various outcomes is not totally inherent in the underlying business; it also depends on the price paid, which is established by the marketplace. The view that risk is dependent on both the nature of investments and on their market price is very different from that described by beta.” DifferentLossViewsClearCuttingRiskSecurityDependsGainsConnectionsPaidInvestmentInvestingFinancialVariousOutcomesDependentInvestorsInherentMarketplaceFinancial MarketsBeta Author:Seth Klarman

“In my life I have had to work through problems of stigmatization and prejudice. When I discovered the power of the arts to express my pains and joys, it became clear to me that there would be no other way to work through the demons except to fully embrace the process of creation.

As I grow older and more mature, it becomes clearer to me that personal struggles and conflicts are connected with universal struggles and conflicts.

“I think there's no question that, even though we may not have the evidence as Richard (Perle) says, that there have been such contacts (between Iraq and al Qaeda). It' s normal. It's natural. These are a lot of bad actors in the same region together. They are going to bump into each other. They are going to exchange information. They're going to feel each other out and see whether there are opportunities to cooperate. That's inevitable in this region, and I think it's clear that regardless of whether or not such evidence is produced of these connections that Saddam Hussein is a threat.” ThinkingFeelsMayHas BeensTogetherActorsOpportunityNaturalClearInformationNormalEvidenceConnectionsThreatIraqContactInevitableRegionsAlsSaddamHusseinBumpsAl Qaeda Author:Wesley Clark
