When you hire a celebrity whose claim to fame is simple…..the outcome will always fall into the category of Churned capital. Me thinks this phenomena is endemic within the field and thus a new generation of bandwidth is required. Here is one such example of getting analysis right, this is mostly ignored knowledge in the profession, because churn is a function built into its systems, incompetence is a feature of a successful systems actions.. advisors better have original thoughts, not borrowed ones. They must understand inertia within a field or fields and must most importantly acknowledge that systems based on compartmentalization, are vulnerable because of the large error probabilities built into said systems.

A paradigm shift is a phrase that was popularized by American physicist Thomas Kuhn to describe the nature of scientific revolutions, or fundamental changes in the basic concepts and experimental practices of a scientific discipline. Kuhn contrasts these shifts to the activity of normal science, which he characterized as scientific work done within a prevailing framework (or paradigm). In this context, the word "paradigm" is used in its original meaning, as " example" ( Greek: pa?ade??µa).

The nature of scientific revolutions has been a question posed by modern philosophy since Immanuel Kant used the phrase in the preface to his Critique of Pure Reason (1781), referring to Greek mathematics and Newtonian physics. In the 20th century, new crises in the basic concepts of mathematics, physics, and biology, revitalized interest in the question among scholars. It was against this active background that Kuhn published his work.

Kuhn presented his notion of a paradigm shift in his influential book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962). As one commentator summarizes:

Kuhn acknowledges having used the term "paradigm" in two different meanings. In the first one, "paradigm" designates what the members of a certain scientific community have in common, that is to say, the whole of techniques, patents and values shared by the members of the community. In the second sense, the paradigm is a single element of a whole, say for instance Newton’s Principia, which, acting as a common model or an example... stands for the explicit rules and thus defines a coherent tradition of investigation. Thus the question is for Kuhn to investigate by means of the paradigm what makes possible the constitution of what he calls a "normal science". That is to say, the science which can decide if a certain problem will be considered scientific or not. Normal science does not mean at all a science guided by a coherent system of rules, on the contrary, the rules can be derived from the paradigms, but the paradigms can guide the investigation also in the absence of rules. This is precisely the second meaning of the term "paradigm", which Kuhn considered the most new and profound, though it is in truth the oldest. [1]

Since the 1960s, the concept of a paradigm shift has also been used in numerous non-scientific contexts to describe a profound change in a fundamental model or perception of events, even though Kuhn himself restricted the use of the term to the hard sciences.

have refrained from making trades since 2012

good thing

as all around me managers of money messed up without meaning to, and many simply treaded water w/o good result to show

0% return is better than negative

i completely missed the bull run in bonds and china

no regrets

at some stage i shall reactivate my trading accounts, and in the meantime i bide time to simply watch and enjoy, and watch some more

i suppose hunting and fishing are also activities where there best be periods of inactivity other than watching and listening
