Today's post is one of those that is not investment centric in any way. I suppose I could go into some metaphorical comparative of risk/reward, and how investment management is the same tradeoff analysis, but I won't. 

 

I am simply fascinated by the story of the private submersible vessel, that as of writing is still missing (and I bet will never be found). It is an unbelievable story that I am sure will be reproduced by Netflix or some company like that, in a similar fashion as "Open Water" (you heard it here first Hollywood -- can I TM that? ) 

 

Anyhow, click here for the WSJ piece on the founder (who was the sub pilot on this mission), and how the whole things came together. And for an idea on just how miserable it would be, to be on that thing....see the image below. Thanks to WSJ for the source on this.
