What I learned today:

The law of large numbers does *not* imply that I'm more likely to earn the expected value by investing $100,000 than I am to get the expected value when betting $1.

I would do well to remember that I am as unlucky with stock picks as I am with dice. (No, no new financial crisis. I just finally detected the flaw in my thinking.)
