US markets are closed today for Memorial Day. I'm stepping away from the screens and heading back to the lab and wiping the dust off a classic.
Van Tharp's "How to Become a More Successful Investor" series, five volumes covering the things CFA or CISI programs never quite teach you:
1๏ธโฃ How to use risk
2๏ธโฃ How to control stress
3๏ธโฃ How to control losing attitudes
4๏ธโฃ How to develop discipline
5๏ธโฃ How to make sound decisions
Notice the pattern? Not a single volume on stock picking.
Tharp understood decades ago what plenty of investors still miss today:

Quiet days are a gift. They're when the real work happens, away from the noise, away from the temptation to act for the sake of acting.
