Background:
I had this quote for years.
It came from a friend when I was working in Reuters (Sorry I forgot your name!).
I was telling him/her that a Top 50 Index cannot have anything more or less than 50 companies.
We went on for why for a few minutes because I thought it was straightforward and I think he/she did not look at the name and was focusing on the process.
My friend burped out the comment when I said "You need 50 companies for an Index of 50 companies".
He/She probably wasn't looking at the name so its not that he/she didn't do the right things.
From what I hear a lot of times, people just do things.
No right or wrong, just do it.
While I believe in what my brother said when he said "Just Dive In, Don't Think", I always believed my brother thought things through, however little he thinks about it.
Yet, many times, people, include myself and my brother, make silly mistakes that can be avoided if we just decided to take a step back and look.
That included the now "fairly funny" incident where I lost a friend of 15 years over some nonsense.
