The Study of Failure
"One founder I've backed told me that he'd learned "to only work on things where I'm freaking scared of failing, because that means the stakes are high." When you believe your vision is important, celebrating failure of any sort would be perverse (Lewis, Geoff. "Failure Porn: There's Too Much Celebration of Failure and Too Little Fear (Posted 2014-12-04 17:00:14)." The Washington Post Dec 04 2014 ProQuest. 2 Dec. 2018.)"

The Study of Failure
"Empirically, it's not clear that an entrepreneur can learn anything from failure. Even the most successful start-ups have multiple major problems -- such as team conflict, destructive board members, no clear path to profitability, out-of-control marketing costs, lawsuits, lackluster product features and painfully long sales cycles -- at any given time. Any of these issues, alone or combined, could lead to failure, so isolating the precise cause of failure and anticipating how to avoid it next time are almost always impossible (Lewis, Geoff. "Failure Porn: There's Too Much Celebration of Failure and Too Little Fear (Posted 2014-12-04 17:00:14)." The Washington Post Dec 04 2014 ProQuest. 2 Dec. 2018.)"

The Study of Failure
"By recasting real failures as mere pivots, Ries gives short shrift to the extraordinary tenacity exhibited by the YouTube, Twitter and Groupon founders. And by offering the pivot as an omnipresent crutch, a movement that aims to help founders avoid failure inadvertently reduces the prospect of failure to an afterthought. Until it's not. You don't hear about the thousands of start-ups that fail to pivot their way to success each year. They die quietly (Lewis, Geoff. "Failure Porn: There's Too Much Celebration of Failure and Too Little Fear (Posted 2014-12-04 17:00:14)." The Washington Post Dec 04 2014 ProQuest. 2 Dec. 2018.)"

Dow’s theory on Investment Values
According to Charles H. Dow, a values-based approach to financial data determine future worth
"Values will tell in the long run. The value of railway stocks can be ascertained to a reasonable extent. If a railway stock is selling below its real value, based not upon hearsay, but upon a careful study of the figures, it will work higher, even if the general market declines (May 19, 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 understated acceptance of failure that propelled Silicon Valley for decades has morphed into something dangerous: failure porn. ‘Failure’ as fast fashion, peddled by wildly successful people, packaged for mass consumption, that is no more reflective of real failure than commercially produced pornography is of real sex. People seem to forget that start-up founders can endure years of psychological trauma for naught, employees can lose their jobs and investors can lose significant money. Rather than being a springboard to greatness, failure can simply be devastating (Lewis, Geoff. "Failure Porn: There's Too Much Celebration of Failure and Too Little Fear (Posted 2014-12-04 17:00:14)." The Washington Post Dec 04 2014 ProQuest. 2 Dec. 2018.)"
