For God's sake HamiltonYou don't get to 1,611 posts by being a wallflower. Nor the Wilmott Resident Virtual Controversialist by typing platitudinous [sp?] parsimonious [sp?] pontificating prose.And its nice to know that you no longer view this forum as god forsaken.

Robert Atkins, and J. Paul Getty both died yesterday. Do they both qualify as "celebrities"?Quote from USA Today: "J. Paul Getty Jr., the reclusive American-born billionaire philanthropist..."Is it possible to be both a recluse and a celebrity?

I think that Getty and Atkins are the kind of celebrities that are only considered celebrities if a third celebrity dies on the same day they do. So we need one more body before they can qualify as celebrities.

Bringing back an old thread but anyway......I think Taleb is an airhead. I don't think his skill/expertise on the subject are any better than junior level analysts i know. Any they are far less snobbish and have far more reason to probably be snobbish
