Yield Giving
December 22, 2022 | Amid giving season, it's a great time to dissect Scott's philanthropic efforts. Plus, the novelist, activist, and ex-husband of Jeff Bezos just launched a site to track how she donates her money, and why.
Just Do It
December 21, 2022 | We’ll discuss two items in the news today: Strong earnings from Nike, and Apple’s latest moves to keep its production of iPhones and MacBooks operating smoothly, plus our main story on trend following as an investment strategy.
Spending Spree
December 20, 2022 | Hagstrom is a brilliant writer and researcher uncovering many details about Buffett, who bought his first stock at age 11 and read every book on investing in the Omaha libraries.
Japan’s Pivot
December 19, 2022 | Unsurprisingly, supply chains are unfathomably complicated, and our fragile system wasn't prepared for those disruptions. Masturzo notes, "Central banks are actively raising rates in an effort to put the lid back on the pot, but massive sovereign debt levels challenge this effort."
Setting Expectations
December 18, 2022 | When we compare ourselves to others, we implicitly set expectations for our lives that aren't always attainable and serve to make us appreciate what we have less.
BlackRock’s Warning to Investors
December 16, 2022 | With interest rates surging higher this year, many institutional investors are starting to find bonds priced quite cheaply since bond prices and interest rates have an inverse relationship. BlackRock (BLK), however, does not.
Pump-and-Dump
December 15, 2022 | Today, we'll discuss two items in the news: Why the risk of Chinese stocks being delisted has fallen, and the influencers caught up in a pump-and-dump scheme, plus our main story on the crises in "crypto."
Changing The Rules
December 14, 2022 | We love discussing investment ideas and strategies but mastering your personal finances is 10X more important than picking the right stocks. Without a sound financial plan, how can you possibly hope to allocate your money accordingly to reach retirement and lifestyle goals?
Time and Space
December 13, 2022 | We use money every day in various forms, from cash payments to swiping our credit and debit cards to venmoing friends, or perhaps in saving for the future with money market funds, gold, or, more controversially, Bitcoin.
Illegal Index Funds
February 12, 2024 | Should index funds be illegal? It’s more of an intellectual question than a serious one. For example, the U.S. stock market couldn’t really function if 100% of investors held all their money in S&P 500 index funds, at least not as any useful tool for allocating capital.
Hollywood Economics
February 11, 2024 | The film industry isn’t all glamorous. For every big hit that makes hundreds of millions — like “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie,” countless films go virtually unheard of.
Secret Sauce
February 10, 2024 | Wouldn’t the office be better if we all took a collective coffee break?
