Glad to hear that you find value in them, Joel! Thanks for reading. Let me know if there are any particular investors you would like me to feature in my "Money Mind" series.

I recently read about Davis in Pulak Prasad's book - what I learned about investing from Darwin. This guy was really interesting. And I would recommend you to read that book if you haven't already. It's one of the best books on investing, ever! IMO

I have the book on my shelf, but I haven’t started it yet. Definitely moving it to the top of my list soon!

You may be too young to remember … SAFECO was an actual publicly-traded insurance company until it was acquired by Liberty Mutual. So SafeCo as a hypothetical company is kind of a bad choice …

Regarding the name, I take your point. Since the historical Safeco was absorbed by Liberty Mutual nearly two decades ago, perhaps it is time for a more 'boring' placeholder. Next time I’ll consider 'Ataraxia Insurance', a name that should appeal to any skeptic seeking tranquility in a volatile market.
