Немного статистики российского рынка акций — почему купил и держишь плохая стратегия для инвестора

Многие блогеры и даже инвестиционные книги активно пропагандируют эту идею: «Купи широкий рынок и держи его долгие годы. Время и сложный процент сделают своё дело». Так ли это на самом деле? В статье рассматриваю простой вариант купи и держи, когда инвестор один раз покупает индекс и затем ничего не делает в течение нескольких лет.

Most people don’t realise the moment a long marriage actually deepens isn’t a milestone or a holiday, it’s the ordinary Tuesday when one of you finally stops performing the version the other one fell for

Long marriages don't deepen at anniversaries or milestones. They deepen on the ordinary Tuesday when one partner finally drops the curated version they were performing — and the other one chooses to stay anyway. Here's the psychology of why the unmasking moment matters more than any occasion. Read more

In 1981, two researchers proposed that burnout is not simple tiredness but three separate collapses

In 1981, two psychologists published a short paper in the Journal of Organizational Behavior that quietly influences how a lot of us talk about being worn down by work. Christina Maslach and Susan E.

When Apollo 11 splashed down in the Pacific in 1969, the recovered astronauts were sealed in a quarantine trailer for weeks because nobody could rule out lunar microbes, while around their capsule the ocean teemed with creatures far stranger than anything feared from the Moon

In July 1969, Apollo 11's crew was sealed in an Airstream trailer for 21 days while NASA tested moon rocks for life that wasn't there — meanwhile, the ocean beneath their splashdown site held vampire squid, 40-meter siphonophores, and single-celled organisms the size of dinner plates. Read more
