A friend recently set up a rather odd website.
independentspeculator.com
I'm not really sure what he's trying to accomplish with this site, but he just posted something interesting entitled "The Speculators Manifesto." What do you guys think? Gamma, Beta, Alpha? Sounds sort of like tcaud to be perfectly honest, but I don't think alpha.
Here's what he wrote:
"The Independent Speculator is dedicated to the rare individual who accepts no authority but himself in all walks of life. Exposing societies’ countless errors and boldly charting out new directions, such men and women are the instruments of historical renewal.
So we ask you: does the concept of received wisdom strike you as oxymoronic? Are you mystified by others’ blind adherence to counterproductive theories, norms and imperatives? If so, we are pleased you have discovered us and expect that you will find yourself in good company at The Independent Speculator. We graciously invite you to share your thoughts and perspectives in matters related to investment, financial speculation, and whatever else strikes your fancy."
