I am making it up as I go along. If I sound confident in the way I write, it is because I like editing out wiggle words like “I think”, “for me”, and “in my opinion”. Everyone else is making it up as they go along too. There are no adults. There is a lot of noise, and most of what we know is path dependent. The right book, experience, or person at the right time twists the world on its head. My interest in money stems from a dislike of the control it has over me. My choice of profession was based on a path that bumped into the expense of London, born in a world of Apartheid where your containers determine your opportunity. Actuarial Science seemed like a safe container to at least have enough to not be owned by money. Then I got into the world of investments because the competitive South African in me wanted to prove myself. Now I see myself as a Derren Brown of Active Investing. There are no Gods of investing. You can learn if you want. It is not magic. An active investor who doesn’t believe in the magic. Make conscious choices. Life will then decide your next choice. Make that.
