Taleb, the distinguished scientific advisor at Universa Investments, spoke following another shocking development in the region as Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi died in an apparent helicopter crash. In addition to his market work, Taleb is a Lebanese-American essayist whose seminal work, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, warns against trying to predict the unpredictable. He largely has advocated an approach to investing that hedges against unusual events like the financial crisis of 2008-09.
