La partie sur le film Titanic est un classique instantane ;-)

If you don’t know who David Swensen is, you may want to read a bit about him here. In a nutshell, he took over Yale’s endowment fund and is credited with revolutionizing the endowment investing model for all his peers. Regardless of whether you agree with The Yale Model of investing, he guest lectured one session for Professor Robert Shiller’s course on Financial Markets (ECON252) at Yale University and it is chock-full of interesting information.

David Swensen est l’auteur du tres bon livre Unconventional Success: A Fundamental Approach to Personal Investment (2005). Pour avoir lu le livre, la conference donne un tres bon resume. La seule raison de vouloir lire le livre (que vous pouvez m’emprunter si vous le desirez) est d’avoir plus de chiffres sur l’industrie de la planification financiere. J’avais en fait trouve le livre un peu redondant, mais quand meme tres instructif.
