A witch's broom is commonly referred to as a "broomstick" or a "witch's broom." In folklore and various witchcraft traditions, the broomstick is depicted as an essential tool for witches, allowing them to fly. It is often believed that witches would use their broomsticks to travel to sabbaths or perform spells and rituals. The association of broomsticks with witches can be traced back to medieval Europe, where it was believed that witches would anoint their broomsticks with a special flying ointment made from hallucinogenic herbs. However, it is important to note that the idea of witches flying on broomsticks is purely mythical and not based on historical fact. Today, broomsticks are still widely associated with witchcraft and are often used as decorative items during Halloween and other witch-themed activities.

Investment Blunders of the Rich and Famous-- and what You Can Learn from Them

Every investor -- even the world's most prominent and respected investors -- are subject to the foibles of human psychology. Now, John Nofsinger, identifies the most common investor mistakes through the prism of the world's most public investment catastrophes. Using other people's money and other people's disasters, Investment Blunders teaches a wide range of critical lessons every investor must learn. John Nofsinger shows how to avoid the overconfidence displayed by John Meriwether and David Mullins, and by Nobel laureates Myron Scholes and Robert Merton, the founders of the failed Long Term Capital Management hedge fund. He demonstrates how to avoid the hubris that nearly destroyed KKR in its bidding war over RJR Nabisco; how to identify and control the greed that sank Michael Milken and many of his contemporaries; and how to keep sight of the fundamentals, avoiding the disastrous investments that led to the 1980s' S&L crisis. Read each Blunder, and you will learn of a common error that you can avoid in the future.
