Applying the Principles of "Factfulness" to Investing.

Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World - and Why Things Are Better Than You Think

The book is an eye-opening, marvellous work of art. The book symbolises the late Hans Rosling's final attempt to change the way we view the world. The book is a guide to existence in a busy world, where we have an unprecedented level of access to information. 

In the next few posts, I will attempt - sometimes at a stretch - to apply some of the principles recommended by Hans Rosling to investing. In my view, this is important, because investing requires you to use information, and decide whether or not you want to act based upon the aforementioned information. 

If you do not have the curiosity and energy to read Factfulness, I recommend that you should - at the very least - watch one of the talks given by Hans (below), and visit Gapminder.
