Refresher Course in Mind & Market

From John Hood's Daily Journal:

Use it or lose it. That’s the prevalent rule of thumb in life, unfortunately, more so than the old adage about never forgetting how to ride a bicycle. Yes, you can peddle if you haven’t been on a bike since banana seats and baseball cards in the spokes. But you’ll be lucky to make through the neighborhood unless you’ve kept in shape. We don’t ride bikes to demonstrate our ability to balance ourselves on two wheels, an ability that may well survive a lengthy period of disuse. We ride bikes to get places or enjoy ourselves, and there’s no question that these abilities grow with practice.
