Genius

Interesting piece by John Authers (The Long View - Financial Times 14th April) on investing genius or genius alone. He mentions a book by Michael J. Gelb in which the seven principles of genius are set out (in Italian): Curiositá, Dimostrazione, Sensazione, Sfumato, Arte/scienza, Corporalitá, Connessione.

In brief the genius investor should be a Renaissance man infused with all these qualities.

What a pity our financial leaders and our leaders in general do not demonstrate these traits in their dealings. What a pity we do not all aspire to this roundedness in our own lives.
