Last October, I wrote a post explaining the top 5 reasons that Nassim Taleb is nuts. It garnered me much praise from the blogosphere, and surprisingly no financial reward.
Today I get to share another fabulous quote by Mr. Taleb, famed for his book Black Swan about a concept he explained in 480 pages which Bazooka Joe could have explained to Pesty in a four frame comic. Incidentally, Taleb doesn’t provide the reader with any gum.
At a conference in Russia, he expressed his displeasure in the US Dollar and preference for the Euro, despite the debt troubles of the PIIGS by explaining: “Euros have Germany, the dollar has nothing“.
Another brilliant quote to add to the list.

Gorgeous.
You probably heard more wisdom from the back seat on the way home from daycare, if he’s an indicator of the crowd at Davos.
