By: John_Mauldin
I am in London this morning, just a few miles (in theory) from the writer of this week's Outside the Box. James Montier, now with GMO, is one of my favorite analysts. I read everything he writes, and my only complaint is that he does not write enough. Today he offers us his thoughts on what he calls the "7 Immutable Laws of Investing."

Investing Mantra, Not to Convince, But to be Convinced / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Victor_Chan_Wai_To
The most valuable mantra in investing goes by: “Not to convince, but to be convinced.” A good investor does not take unnecessary chances and then convince himself that everything would be alright. Rather, he would wait until the right opportunity comes by and convinces him that it is the choice to make. In other words, a winning investor always abides in stillness until a high-probability signal dawns on him.

Hidden Assumptions in Option Pricing / InvestorEducation / Options & Warrants
By: Robert_Murphy
Steve Landsburg is an economics professor at the University of Rochester, and author of some great books on free-market thinking. However, in a recent blog post he gave a misleading explanation of option pricing. It's worth going over the episode because it beautifully illustrates the tendency of economists to overlook the assumptions they sneak into their arguments, particularly when it comes to discussions of the financial markets.

Jesse Livermore's Trading System / InvestorEducation / Trading Systems
By: Victor_Chan_Wai_To
A butcher never chops with a blunt knife, yet it is common to see a trader operates with an unsound trading system. The fastest way to get a winning system is to steal one from a successful trader, and for that matter, there is no better candidate than legendary trader Jesse Livermore, because his method was very simple: it contained only three components, which are respectively known as the reversal pivotal point, the continuation pivotal point, and the symptoms of weakness. Their application would be explored in this article.

Game-Changing Companies Eat People / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: John_Mauldin
This week’s Outside the Box is a little unusual, even for me. But it will be fun, informative, and thought-provoking. My friend Andy Kessler has written another irreverent, gonzo book called Eat People: And Other Unapologetic Rules for Game-Changing Entrepreneurs. He has graciously allowed me to copy his introduction as this week’s missive.
Andy gives us 12 Rules and a Bonus Rule that characterize game-changing companies. They are: Scale, Waste, Horizontal, Edge, Productive, Adaptive, Eat People, Markets, Exceptionalism, Market Entrepreneur, Zero Marginal Cost, Virtual Pipe, and Highest Return. Find a company that embodies these rules early, and you get in on the ground floor of the next Apple or Microsoft.

The Short Story of How We Lose, The Concept of "Myopic Loss Aversion" / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: Ashvin_Pandurangi
A curious thing happened to a middle-aged Frenchman in Monte Carlo last year. He had unexpectedly received a year-end bonus of 10,000 from his employer, and decided to visit Le Grand Casino for a weekend, where he could relax and gamble with his new found wealth. Since his wife and daughters were visiting his stepmother that weekend, he would be able to focus entirely on making some money. His first night was judiciously spent at the Roulette tables, where his sharp instincts and calculated patience presumably allowed him to double his allotted wealth in just five hours. It was an excellent night for the man, who was now 10,000 richer, and he spent the next afternoon lounging in a cabana at the hotel's pool.

Resolving the Stubborn Psychology of Fish / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: Ashvin_Pandurangi
For those unfamiliar with the game of poker, it is essentially a game where players attempt to win money from other players at their table by having the best five-card hand at showdown or by betting their opponents off of the best hand. The most popular form of poker is Texas Hold Em', in which each player is dealt two "hole cards" followed by a round of betting, then a three-card "flop" followed with another round of betting, a one-card "turn" with betting, and finally a one-card "river" with the last round of betting. Each player can, but is not required to, use one or both of their hole cards, and must use 3-5 cards on the board, to construct their best possible five-card hand (from best to worst - straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two-pair, pair, high card).

The Case Against Investor Portfolio Diversification / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: EWI
Talk with an investment advisor, and what's the first piece of advice you will hear? Diversify your portfolio. The case for diversification is repeated so often that it's come to be thought of as an indisputable rule. Hardly anyone makes the case against diversifying your portfolio. But because we believe that too much liquidity has made all markets act similar to one another, we make that case. Heresy? Not at all. Just because investment banks and stock brokerages say you should diversify doesn't make it true. After all, their analysts nearly always say that the markets look bullish and that people should buy more now. For a breath of fresh air on this subject, read what Bob Prechter thinks about diversification.
