Some thoughts after reading Freakonomics

Being tempted by the " Freakonomics" is one of the best selling books and discussed widely by circle of friends, I borrowed the book and spent few hours here and there last week to flip through if I can get something out from it.

Those who have read the book mostly share the view that " Economists earn more than mathematicians?".

When we look around, those who can earn big bucks need not to be meticulously accurate. So, why bother to be a Rocket Scientist if your ultimate aim is for the dollar and a better life.

If we have to wait for everything to be exact before carryig out our investment, I dare to say most of the time we will miss the boat. Having said that, prudence and reasonable care are words that we should never forget when we put the money into the market.
