Book wise doesn’t easily translate to street wise.

Some information about methodology was interesting
but unfortunately like most academics never been at the
cutting edge of risk.
In the real world of small, medium enterprises you live
or die by your ability to forecast change.
And because most the large corporations and politicians are
one of the same and the market is rigged in their favour only the most adaptable footloose small
business will survive.

Started out great but there was little substantial near the end. Concept OK but trying to execute it was not that helpful
