Speaking of naïvety, and on a totally unrelated note, the concept of ‘naïve essences’ brings to mind the iconic song “This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody)” by Talking Heads. When I looked up the reason behind the parenthetical “Naïve Melody,” it turns out that the tune was developed with a minimalist, less-is-more philosophy, meant to evoke a sense of simplicity and charm. To get that result, the guitar and keyboard bassline were played by ‘amateurs,’ in that David Byrne and Tina Weymouth switched roles: Byrne played the keyboards instead of his usual guitar, and Weymouth played the guitar instead of her usual bass. A tangent, yes, but there might be something there. And while we’re at it, This Must Be the Place, directed by Paolo Sorrentino, is an excellent movie. cyb3rsyn.com/p/reflections-…

what does a good portfolio look like? in this article, @ohimani and i explore the difference between an investment philosophy and strategy. when the underlying assumptions, priorities and values aren't anchored in a clear philosophy, disappointment with results becomes almost inevitable. parkviewgroup.com/whose-investme…
