Hi Seb,

If you’d like to get together to talk about possible synergies, let me know. I live near Cote-des-Neiges / Queen Mary, and work on McGill College avenue. It would be great to meet you. You can reach me on LinkedIn.

It’s great to know that there’s a Junto in Montreal! I’ve been involved with the online Junto and love the idea and aspirations.

I couldn’t agree more Nic! I especially like the way you phrased that last sentence: “when everybody think the same, nobody is really thinking”. Well put.

Thanks for the post D’Urbano. Very interesting!

The common denominator in your analogy is that we all suffer/profit from human behaviour/psychology, be it in everyday situations such as driving or in financial markets. I’m a big proponent of behavioural finance when it comes to debating EMH.

On a broader note, I’m convinced that one should act upon his/her independent conviction, know how and what others are thinking so to avoid the herd bias. I think one can be very succesful leaning against belly of the normal distribution curve and be long the fat tail optionalities. Their is much value to independent thinking in the world we live today. When everybody think the same, nobody is really thinking.
