>>>I'm looking forward to reading Black Swan. I've got a hold on it at the local library, waiting for it to arrive.<<<

I just - literally - got both of them. Black Swan was back ordered forever at Amazon. I made seven figures on the '98 through '01 patch run up. I got pasted on the summer '01 OSX crash and then 9/11. I got lucky on the run up in that: 1) I had an undeveloped latent fascination with the oil biz - sprang to life in May'98, 2)crude melted down to $10 about the time when my real interest took hold, and 3) through the miracle of the internet, (and probably this board) I became acquainted with the writings of Matt Simmons. The rest was work - reading day and night.

9/11 - Black Swans. They are out there.

My wife figured if she bought me the books, it might not happen again.

I think that Frank's wife set a little aside from the KMart wages post PGO crash for similar educational materials.
