LUIS BACON TRADING TIPS
■ Embrace disorder and chaos
As a speculator, you must embrace disorder and chaos.
■ Managing large assets is difficult
The ability to manage large assets well - it's like being Michael Jordan or winning the gold in the Olympics; it's what you aspire to.
■ Reasoning alone does not make a conclusion certain
Reasoning draws a conclusion but does not make the conclusion certain unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience.
■ The importance of mathematics
All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.
-For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics.
■ Experimental science
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.
■ Argument does not remove doubt
Argument is conclusive, but it does not remove doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth unless it finds it by the method of experiment.
■ Keep it always simple
It must be a balance in everything we do, not too much of everything, keep it simple, not complicated.
■ Bacon wrote to his investors in a letter
Intense competition for trading talent coupled with client pressure on fees has led to a challenging business model for multi-manager funds such as ours.
■ Recognition cannot be a cause to rest
Much like the conservationists who previously received the Audubon Medal, including Stewart Udall, Rachel Carson, and Ted Turner, I realize that this recognition cannot be a cause to rest, but a spur to continue our work.
