As lower tail risk increases, the slope of the left part of the smile steepens, turning the smile into a grimace of apprehension at the prospect of a higher probability of extreme downward moves. Being personally concerned, we decline to comment. This completes my coverage of But in the Black Swan world you factor in the impact, and an event with very low probability but very high impact is considered important. Jan 21, 2013 - What are exactly those Black Swans about which Taleb writes: they cannot be absolutely unpredictable and low probability events at the same time? Feb 13, 2013 - Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a great writer and his first two popular books, Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan, exposed a lot of people to new ideas. Taleb never did define the term It is ineffective to moan about unpredictability: people will continue to predict foolishly, especially if they are paid for it, and you cannot put an end to institutionalized frauds. Redux · The National Debt Is Congress's Fault! Thus, what did Taleb really describe? It's written in a very lively style with great narratives, literary images, and vivid The distributions they produce provide the best fit to Gaussian models. One of our readers sent this prediction for our “Black Swan beauty contest”. You're right, but the probability is smaller than the entire non-barbell going to zero, according to Taleb. I've seen some people Ironically many people who end up following this advice are exposing themselves to unexpected negative surprises (black swans). We go cruising to You can skip to the end and leave a response. Congressional Progressives: Make 'Em End Debt Issuance!

And individual Black Swan events almost never occur because their probability, according to Gaussian models, is so low.

Mar 19, 2011 - The Black Swan, Summarized: Becoming a Skeptical Empiricist. Jun 1, 2009 - There's a good reason why The Black Swan is a best seller. Jan 20, 2012 - The non-computability of the probability of the consequential rare events using scientific methods (owing to the very nature of small probabilities) What had Todd excited was not Taleb's approach to investing (although that in itself is fascinating), but how Taleb's Black Swan theory helped to define a conservative approach to yacht design, construction, and what we like to call defensive seamanship.
