Gyroscopic Investing

Neat infographic.

Forgive me if this has been posted already. It looks fairly MachineGhosty to me. I think I saw it linked in the Washington Post, but I don't see that source now. Here's one:

Good lord... What an awful infographic format.

Yeah, I think Benko or Gumby posted an older version a couple of years ago.  It's pretty interesting, there some things I've never heard of like devil's claw for arthritis or aloe vera for diabetes.

Some of the evidence relied upon is pretty sketchy for the intended level or even linking to the wrong thing alltogether.

I hope it wasn't me.

Effective for who(whom?) for what purpose?

Examine.com is a good place to start, keeping in mind that examine just presents what the evidence shows.  Lack of evidence does not prove that something "does not work", though of course you have to be careful.  I've run across a number of things which work really well, but which there is no/little evidence eg the Chinese linament posted recently.  I don't know that it's ever been studied, but has been used by Chinese martial artists on their beat up hands and feet for centuries and you can go to Amazon and find 50 or 100 4-5 star ratings.  I've also used it on me/recommended it to others for to fractures, tendinitis, strains, sprains, etc.

I'm guessing what's in that linament that makes it so effective are the Chinese herbs, not the menthol.  What do you know about the herbs?  I've studied Chinese herbs a bit but the strange language difference and weird named multi-combination formulas makes it a lot more difficult to remember what does what compared to Western herbs.

BTW, how about answering my question about Henry Rollins in the other thread?

MG,

Apologies, but I've never heard the term depressed shoulders, and have no idea what it means I.e. What criteria to use to evaluate someone for it.  Feel free to email me if you ever have a question I don't answer on the board.

My bottle of zheng GUI shui (Chinese herbal linament) only has words in Chinese in it.  Best I remember, the box  which did have English words, didn't list anything I recognized as active ingredients.  I have no clue why it works.

If you go to the personal website of one of the guys who founded examine (I'm on iPhone or I'd look it up for you) he is very fond of a number of Chinese herbs.  I have very little western knowledge of Chinese herbs, and tend to look at them from the Chinese medical point of view.
