Now you have my full, complete and undivided attention as one sorely
afflicted in the matter of net present value.
 I suspect it is not just proficiency in the dismal science to which you
are referring; and probably not the area of value investing, or momentum or
transaction timimg with buy/sell ratios on the markets or any specialized
financial acumen. No, it must have to do with developing a model, testing
experimentally, and discarding/refining hypotheses.
Do tell all?
