No Large Losses

good developers
have always relied
on a great deal
of background information
gleaned over a lifetime of
conversation,
observation,
and reading-
newsletters, newspapers,
academic journals,
and the like
data are fundamental to sophisticated players
in the marketplace and
will not make money
for a developer.
assimilation of such historical and current public information,
however,
can help developers
avoid large losses.*
