Haha. Why if you only read history from the winners perspective, you lose out on so much:

Vic twitter is the best twitter

I wish vic would occasionally @ mister black swan. Hilarity would ensue!

Mister Concavity, meet Mister Convexity!!!

I wish JW Meriwether were on twitter... then the circle of life would be complete

You want an edge? Most people flock to “studying” “how to make a billion” . It’s highly crowded. Go against the flock, study “how to lose a billion”

Vic is amazing because you can see both the how to make a billion and how to lose even more billions , all in one package!

Most people don’t want to research “how to lose a billion”. Others or one’s own mistakes aren’t fun deconstructing. It’s like pulling teeth. Painful to the ego. Therein lies the reason the opportunity exists. It’s psychologically challenging: who wants to study failure?

Case in point: my tweets about Vic and failure get handfuls of likes. Tweets about buffett get 100s to 1000s of likes. Buffett to most people represents psychologically what they want but can’t have. Vic represents what they fear they are or will become.

Another structural advantage studying failure vs “success”: the content platforms don’t want to interview failure. When is last time your favorite podcast, CNBC/BBG TV, or any financial medium actively seeks interviews with people / funds who lose money or blow up? Does not sell.

Investment conferences? Haha. Our keynote speaker will be... fund manager down -33% . Hahaha. Never happens!

The casino lists the winners, average winnings, etc... they don’t list the losers, average losings, etc. you have to seek that info out!
