So Long, Negative Rates
March 19, 2024 | It’s over, it’s finally over. Nearly 150,000 hours (17 years) have passed since the Bank of Japan last hiked interest rates, enough time to watch Game of Thrones from start to finish more than 2,127 times.
AI Woodstock
March 18, 2024 | The most important stock in markets is hosting the year's most important conference. That’s right, Nvidia’s annual conference on artificial intelligence — which Bank of America analysts frankly called “AI Woodstock” — commenced today.
Serendipity
March 17, 2024 | Sure, you can chalk up a business’s success to big plans, brilliant ideas, and excellent execution—usually, those go a long way. But much of business (and life) comes down to serendipity—essentially, being in the right place at the right time.
Cybercrime Is Booming
March 16, 2024 | Cybercrime losses have tripled since 2020. Let’s get to all the charts and insights in 2 minutes to read.
Sorry, Realtors
March 15, 2024 | The second-order effects of economic changes are never as obvious as they seem. Take interest rates, for example. Surely, higher rates, boosting mortgage costs, would suppress homebuyer demand, resulting in lower housing prices, right?
Rockets & Feathers
March 14, 2024 | We can’t prove that profits drive prices and vice versa. There are many factors at play. However, consider a rockets and feathers analogy that Goldman economists created.
Left Behind
March 13, 2024 | While the Western world has hiked interest rates in response to a pandemic-era inflation burst, the planet’s third-biggest economy has seemingly missed the memo, keeping interest rates extremely low — Japanese government bonds maturing in 10 years pay meager yields just shy of 0.8%.
It Isn’t Just Big Tech
March 12, 2024 | Against popular belief, this market isn’t just about a few wonderful mega-cap companies. A broad group of companies has fueled the recent climb to record highs, even as monster companies like Apple and Tesla have sunk this year.
Place Your Bets
March 11, 2024 | You can bet on almost anything in markets if you're clever enough. Typically, people think of this in two basic ways — you can bet on stocks, bonds, gold, bitcoin, etc., to go higher or lower in price.
Leading with Humility
April 13, 2024 | Tune in to "Leading with Humility" with Simon Sinek. More insights and lessons in just 2 minutes to read.
Margin Compression
April 12, 2024 | Welcome to earnings season, folks. Per usual, the big banks kicked off the onslaught of Q1 corporate earnings reports that will come in the next few weeks. How’d they do?
No Rate Cuts?
April 11, 2024 | The unthinkable is now thinkable. That’s the prospect of no rate cuts this year. Predicting no cuts just a few months ago would’ve left you all alone on Wall Street, excluded from the cool kids’ table, which was betting on at least three rate reductions this year.
Success!
