arbitrage: I read the definition and realized, not for the first time, that if I could understand a damn thing about finance I could make some money.

Tailor, Wikipedia defines ataraxia as a Greek term used by Pyrrho and Epicurus for a lucid state of robust tranquility, characterized by ongoing freedom from distress and worry. I realized I can proudly claim to have enjoyed this state for years, it chiefly consisting of not giving a f**k.
