Pickpocketing is a triumph of craft: a distracting touch with one hand, while the other hand gets to work, and the next thing you know … where’s my wallet? Apollo Robbins is a modern master of picking pockets, possessor of a subtle understanding of human attention, a taste for classic crime, and something he calls “grift sense” — which, as he told the New Yorker , is “stepping outside yourself and seeing through the other person’s eyes, thinking through the other person’s mind, but it’s happening on a subconscious level.”
 
Robbins makes a living as an entertainer, speaker and television personality, and he also is the founder of Whizmob Inc., a collective of misdirection experts — including reformed criminals — that schools military and law enforcement leaders in fraud and scam tactics. Robbins has also collaborated with academics in his quest to understand how awareness and attention can be manipulated.

Legendary investor Peter Lynch (formerly of Fidelity’s Magellan Fund) sat down for a rare interview with Charlie Rose.  In it, he talks about philanthropy, what makes good management, and more.

He joked that he was a “bottom down” investor.  He likes to invest in the second or third inning of a story, noting that you could have bought Walmart (WMT) ten years after it went public and still done extremely well on that investment.
He identified the three C’s in investing: complacency, concern, and capitulation.  He said complacency is the worst one. (more…)

George Soros is one of the most interesting, inspiring, and influential investors of our time. From his upbringing during World War 2, to his large hedge fund positions that broke the Bank of England. George Soros is a self-made billionaire, hedge fund manager, philanthropist, and philosopher; certainly an individual we can learn from. This Bloomberg video, “Eye to Eye”, features an engaging interview with George Soros and profiles his life from his formative years – his inspirations, learnings, challenges, through to the years where he wielded significant power and influence as an investor. The video also talks about his work toward “open societies” and what he sees as the irreversible decline of the west, he also talks about how the old way of thinking about economics needs revamped and reviews his theory of reflexivity as a concept for understanding global financial markets and economies. Watch and learn from the master.
