This BLOG is generally not about movies. Julie & Julia, however, I believe has applicability to the world of investments.
1) Both women in the film overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to succeed, and they both do it in a man's world. We need to do the same: tackle our problems head-on and succeed.
2) Meryl Steep is personally nothing like Julia Childs yet took on her identity so that she was totally believable; she won a Golden Globe last night. We need to do the same: sometimes we need to consider things that were heretofore alien to us, and wrap our arms around them in order to succeed.
3) The movie shows us the power of the BLOG in modern society, and more generally, the power of the Internet in accomplishing what we want.
J&J was my favorite film last year because of the way it embodied these themes. There were some other elements of the film that were not applicable to the investment world: my absolute love of French cooking, wine, and the recurring theme of cooking with butter. I know the latter not politically correct, but nonetheless true for me.
Have a successful day!
