FutureBlind - A web log devoted to covering business, investing and finance. The name "FutureBlind" comes from the fact that we can't predict what comes next—in investing, business, and life. We cannot truly plan because we don't understand the future. Detailed plans usually fail, because the circumstances inevitably change. But what we can do is set broad goals while finding creative ways to protect our downside and still succeed. Max Capital's approach toward investing exemplifies this view.
