One week on and another loss of one of the greatest minds. It is a very sad October.
He was the inventor of Fractal Geometry.
Mandelbrot was Nassim Taleb's mentor.

"A Greek among Romans".
One of the greatest book written about Markets is the below:
The (Mis)Behavior of Markets: A Fractal View of Risk, Ruin, and Reward, by Benoît Mandelbrot and Richard L. Hudson; Basic Books, 2004; ISBN 0-465-04355-0
It was published before the Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness.
Benoit Mandelbrot was one the greatest.
Thank you for opening up my mind to the perception of risk.
