Quando, Quando, Quando, Quandary

its kind of surreal when bits of your ancient past show up in unexpected ways in the present. today a patient came in for 6/12 carrying a book by Benoit Mandelbrot. i never actually knew that he was doing stuff on markets, although his chaos theory expertise makes so much sense given the unpredictability of stock markets. and if Mandelbrot-sama is writing on such a topic, it makes it more than obvious that market behaviour will truly be impossible to predict with any accuracy over any significant stretch of time...
*for those of you i lost along the way, here!*
