TW

Had a chat with TW over the phone in the Saturday afternoon.

It is always warm to talk to your friend - especially if you have not seen each other for some time, and more so if your friend is a cut higher in the brain and often gives you illumination.

And TW is no doubt the most intelligent person whom I ever make acquaintance with.

There was a time when TW and I made our private study on the stock market. While I was working with Benjamin Graham's Security Analysis and Philip Fisher's Common Stock and Uncommon Profit, TW simply made her own pick by what she called "intuition" - and she was often right.

As Hercule Poirot said: Les femmes ... observe subconsciously a thousand little details, without knowing that they are doing so. Their subconscious mind adds these little things together - and they call the result intuition.

PS. Don't be mistaken. In addition to being a shrewd investigator, TW is also a double-gold-medalist of my medical school, an eminent physician, and a critical practitioner of top fashion !
