On Analyzing the Obvious
“It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.”
–Alfred North Whitehead
The English mathematician and philosopher brilliantly points out that sometimes, we need to actually look at what seems most obvious before we can make any real progress. This is true in nearly all walks of life, but it’s especially true when analyzing the financial markets. Often, it is what’s most obvious to everyone that actually may be the thing we need to study most — if we want to be truly successful investors.
