Boredom begets action - The Madame Bovary Effect (Link)
"More than any other author I know, Flaubert captures and communicates the immense power of boredom over human behaviour. Why is dullness such a powerful impediment to attention? What makes for greatness as a stock picker is the discipline to act appropriately on whatever the market is giving you, particularly when you’re being dealt one low conviction hand after another. The hardest thing in the world for talented people is to ignore our mental shriek of unused capacities, and to avoid turning a low edge and odds opportunity into an unreasonably high conviction bet simply because we want it so badly and have analyzed the situation so smartly".
Inside Edge is dedicated to providing a collection of investment-related charts, articles and musings that have hit our desks or inboxes. Once in a while we will post materials we’ve created and glimpses into the lives of our own EdgePointers.
