Once a trend is established it tends to persist and to run it’s full course.
George Soros

Of course, speculation will always make a crisis worse. If there is a weak point, it will expose it.
George Soros
Image
My conceptual framework, which basically emphasizes the importance of misconceptions, makes me extremely critical of my own decisions. I know that I am bound to be wrong, and therefore am more likely to correct my own mistakes.
