The Study of Failure

“We intuitively know the value of not being hard on children who fail. What parent will scold an infant who stumbles while learning to walk or yell at the 7-year-old who falls during early attempts to master a two-wheeler? When children are young, we encourage all efforts and soothe their feelings when they meet defeats, yet as they grow older we begin to focus on success and lose our tolerance for their failures. (Levine, Frederic A. "WESTCHESTER OPINION; Failures Offer Lessons on Winning." New York Times, 7 Jan. 1990. Infotrac Newsstand, Accessed 17 Dec. 2018.)”

Dow’s Theory on True Value

Charles H. Dow’s version of “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.”

"...while good and bad stocks rise and fall together with general conditions, and each stock has its own independent movement, and, as the outcome of a series of advances and declines, will invariably reach an approximation to its true value from the standpoint of an investor or permanent holder (Dow, Charles H. Wall Street Journal. Review and Outlook. May 26, 1900)."

Who was Charles H. Dow?

“Charles Henry Dow was an American journalist who co-founded Dow Jones & Company with Edward Jones and Charles Bergstresser. Dow also founded The Wall Street Journal, which has become one of the most respected financial publications in the world. He also invented the Dow Jones Industrial Average as part of his research into market movements. He developed a series of principles for understanding and analyzing market behavior which later became known as Dow theory, the groundwork for technical analysis (source: Wikipedia.org).”

The Study of Failure

“The 256-page document reprimanded the space agency's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., for trying to 'contain potentially serious problems' and for urging rocket maker Morton Thiokol Inc. to reverse its position against launching the shuttle in cold weather. 'A well structured and managed system emphasizing safety' would have detected mounting concerns about the desn of booster rocket seals and the fatal launch might have been averted, the report said.
