Role Model

When it comes to the art and science of speculation you have a lot of heroes. But when you look in detail very few stand upto the standard to be your role model.
In investing as well as speculation it helps to remember the words of Yogi Berra, the legendary baseball player. He once said "It ain't over till it's over"

A better way would be to understand yourself. Understand your weakness and find legendary/historical figures you would like to emulate. Then you could work on your weakness and sharpen your strength. Speculation is a life long learning process. I will come up with a reading list later.
