Self Awareness

Drawing lessons from this piece by Samuel Lee of MorningStar, I put together this grim doodle to keep reminding me of the importance of awareness of our ignorance. The solution obviously lies in either reducing our self ignorance or seeking external help. In the context of investing and speculation, reduction of self ignorance usually means learning by reading more and learning by application. If one has little time for that, then turning over the game (fully/partly) to a qualified investment advisor is the best option.
