Kiplinger\’s, the DC-based publisher of business forecasts and personal finance advice, appears to have \”gotten\” poker. A senior editor there attended a WPT boot camp (for a compilation story on adult camps), and before long he started seeing the world of investing and finance as a poker player … and that spawned a three-part series relating poker to all things economic.
And then, to top it all off, in yet another article in the January issue, they quote Barry Greenstein about investment risk:
Barry Greenstein, for instance, is a poker player by profession, so you might think he’d be prone to gambling with his portfolio. Instead, Greenstein buys utility stocks and municipal bonds, and says he follows his father’s advice: You can play poker, but don’t trade commodities.
So in conclusion, if I am surmising this right, the key to personal financial success in 2010 is play more poker. OK, got it.
(This, btw, is probably a good-for-poker message to go out to Kiplinger\’s subscribers.)
