Nassim Nicholas Taleb on Charlie Rose

I highly recommend that every investor read Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s two books on uncertainty, luck, risk, and revisionist history: Fooled By Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets; and The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable.

For those who are interested in a video Cliffs Notes version of Taleb’s thinking, Charlie Rose has a 15 minute interview with Taleb that aired back in August (hat tip to Eddy Elfenbein at Crossing Wall Street.)
