    I want someone to go on CNBC and use a ridiculous “letter” for their recovery prediction. “You know everyone keeps talking about a U or V shaped recovery, but all of our data suggests a *Q* shaped recovery.”

    WOAH. This is why I love studying financial history. Absolute gem. Buffett's idea of the "Three I's" (Innovators, Imitators, Idiots)…. FOUND IN AN 1866 ISSUE OF THE ECONOMIST! Incredible. Probably my favorite find to date.

    This was written in 1890, but describes today perfectly. Seriously. Read this excerpt.
