Risk, Reward, and Fairness - Nassim Taleb's 'Skin In The Game' Pt. 2

Is it moral for someone with no consequences to give advice? What if he stands to only gain and not lose? Is it foolish to receive such advice? Steadfast in his advice not to look at people's stock advice but their stock portfolio, Taleb explores these questions in 'Skin in the Game'. In this week's episode, we dive into the work of Taleb, famed for 'Black Swan', which many see as the doomsday prediction before the 2008 financial crisis. Reach us at thesunkentreasures@gmail.com
