Art Over Science or Science Over Art? Just Have a Plan

This chart about economists predictions for interest rates in 2019 is making the rounds…

Michael Batnick has a good post arguing that when he hears people say investing, drafting players or predicting the future is ‘more art than science’ what he really hears is ‘it’s just as much luck as skill’.

I think investing is more about following smart people and shutting off as much noise as possible. In the end though, no matter how good I get at doing this, every good decision and outcome is still a bit of art, science, luck AND skill.

I do as many things as I can to stack the odds in my favor by continually nurturing my network, curating my feeds and follows, reading writing and trying to stick to a consistent plan.
