For the dashboard, is this the general attitude of C-suits managers that they don’t want a sea of information and just the dashboard to the point???

No, it isn’t (or rather it should not be). If you have time to think and deliberate you want precise and detailed information. If you have no time or cannot be distracted (as in driving a car) you want simple information and only focus on what really matters. Different situations require different thinking styles and they should be reflected in the information you consume.

I love my Polestar 2 as well. You’re so right about the simplicity

Thank you for invoking the spirit of Dieter Rams -and by extension, of his disciple Jony Ive- in connection with the art of portfolio management. Simplicity is the mark of the right stuff.

As an aside that relates more to your new Polestar than to investing: there is a thesis saying that the more complex a system becomes, the more difficult it gets to improve its performance. And the more likely it is that the system’s technology will be replace by a completely new approach.
