Thanks for the plug.

And for under $23 on Amazon - you must be going after Taleb's audienceno equations and Manga illustrations - what's not to love!

Will you be on Television, Aaron?

I'm doing a lot of conference speaking as well, and trying to get quoted and reviewed. I'll probably do something on CNBC, but not Jon Stewart or Oprah.

Still delayed in UK.

Yes, someone on NP mentioned he got it from a online store other than Amazon on time, I just went with the Kindle version after it was delayed for the second time.

You're right, it's just Amazon ... interesting.

I did not celebrate Xmas or New Year ... But I took days off and re-read Aaron's new book (after some risky (in my age) cross country skiing .. - It seemed, I have chosen the the optimal risk with skating tracks and speed to have enough fun, but no fall downs - and luckily no danger of a falling tree or similar materialized)You know, I am a technology provider and not a practitioner (or only a second hand practitioner from having closed customer feed-back loops). So I do not have climbed the ladder in Wittgenstein's sense. To fully understand or think beyond....I have read Aaron's articles in Wilmott magazine an read the book first in Nov-11. But still, I re-read it with excitement. In general, about the explorative, constructive learning aspect. About the ideas, how (derivative)money can become a universal (programmable) system, solid enough to store values, fluid enough for exchange. About the two-sidedness of risk.More concrete, about VaRs as input of advanced risk management processes.And, I do not know, if I ever have really understood the Kelly principle before ...I am going to recommend this book to one of my best friends - controller in a large steel enterprise.And in my shelf it is placed with the most-infuencial books ... (those I re-read and re-re-read).

Second that, definitely one of the most interesting and refreshing risk management reads published.

have a couple of questions to ask on the concepts in this book. Would this be an appropriate thread to discuss?
