What Big Picture Visitors are Reading/Buying
Speaking of Trust: If you clicked through to AMZN from here, and bought something, there's a record of it that both Amazon and I have access to.
I don't know who bought what, I only know what was bought. (Capiche?)

"if you offer it for sale... they will buy"
Very interesting. How 'bout the music stuff?
Posted by: Bob A | Jan 5, 2008 7:06:21 PM
Yes, what about the music. Not being particularly knowledgeable in the area, I generally pay more attention to your music selections.

What about those of us who read/buy/own several of those books, but didn't use the links here... obviously you can't count us with Amazon's tools, but did we not participate? Is that the real cost of Trust?
By the way, the best book on your list for non-professionals in the right column of your sight (IMHO) is Unexpected Returns by Ed Easterling. It didn't make the list above, which (I hope) means that many people have already read it...

Interesting statistics as it seems not much trust was given in a combination of « Money and brain » my brain understands perfectly this outcome.

I only have access to this data -- but you've given me a good idea -- maybe I will do a full survey re: music, film, DVDs, games, etc.
Good idea . . .

What? No Jim Cramer Mad Money?
Posted by: Thomas Shawn | Jan 6, 2008 7:20:19 AM
this is a cool result. Any chance you would share the volume or % (volume / visitors)? Those figures kind of quantify "trust" into a metric, and could be expressed over time

my fav of the past year is definitely "An American Hedge Fund"
