The Knowledgeable Know Nothing

The beauty of learning Physics in University was that I quickly realized I knew nothing. And I still do.

In addition, Physics knowledge is a skill set well worth having if you think about it in relation to how you compete against your peers despite not knowing much at all. Physics knowledge opens your mind to understanding the essence of a concept and experimenting with it.

In trading, the advantage of this “knowledgeable know nothing” position is that it combines the humility of realizing you know nothing with a terrific inquisitive skill set.

Maybe the Warren Buffet “Too hard to do” concept has something to do with being knowledgeable and knowing you know nothing.
