. There is a new 60/40 in town, and it is the contribution to inflation from consumer demand for goods and the pandemic-broken supply chain. That is according to a study by Julian di Giovanni, who publishes at the NY Fed’s blog Liberty Street Economics. Over the summer, he posed a fascinating question: How Much Did Supply Constraints Boost U.S. Inflation?
Boring is better this year in the markets. The more exciting your portfolio, the worse your performance is in this bear market. Those old stodgy blue chip stocks in the Dow that pay dividends and have stable cash flows are crushing the innovation-led stocks that have more potential than profits in 2022. This is in stark contrast to the FOMO days of 2020 and 2021 when it felt like the only place to put your money was the.
Glamour is a supernatural form of mental compulsion or influence that is specific to vampires. Glamouring is similar to hypnosis, and while all vampires have this power, it needs to be taught as it does not appear to come naturally… The process of glamouring begins with eye contact between a vampire and a respondent. Once eye contact is made, the respondent is held in a trance, making them susceptible to the pow.
This post was co-written by Katie Haun and Fred Wilson. The events surrounding FTX have shaken the confidence of many. How did one of the largest crypto exchanges collapse so quickly? Why do meltdowns like this seem to keep happening? At times like this, it helps to have a long-term view of web3 as a sector, not just a forward-looking long-term view, but also some perspective on where we have come from.
I wonder how far my view of the universe is from (objective) reality. My pal Dave Nadig suggests that we are all much further away from any sort of recognition of the true universe than we suspect. We chatted about this last week, and the more I thought about it, the further away from reality it turns out that we actually are. Best I can figure, we may all be at least six degrees 1 away from truly comprehending, well, anything: 1.
Scott Galloway once said, “It’s never been easier to become a billionaire, or harder to become a millionaire.” I’m not sure I agree but it does seem like more people want to become a billionaire these days. I honestly don’t think it’s worth it. More money in your life is obviously better than less money but only up to a certain point.
Welcome to the latest episode of The Compound & Friends.

Strong Recession Signal Since 1990, the spread between 30-month T-Bills and the 10-year Treasury Note was only more inverted ahead of the 2001 recession. Since 1990, the spread between 30-month T-Bills and the 30-year long bond has only been more inverted a couple of times. This is a very strong recession signal. Reducing Inflation Without a Recession Might Not Be Feasible I's unusual for the Fed to be this candid but Kansas City Fed President Esther George says Reducing Inflation Without a Rece
A reader asks: I’ve been minimally invested in bonds as a long-term investor but if I can get 5% or more interest, I’d love to allocate funds and lock that in for as long as possible. I’m looking at corporate investment grade new issues and they largely seem to be callable in a year. While I would be happy if rates came down and I got my principal back in a year, I’d also be happy holding them if they are not call.
So, the whole house is down with Covid. I had some minor symptoms I assumed were vaccine side effects, but I kept testing negative. By the time I tested positive it was way too late for Paxlovid. I isolated to keep everyone else safe. Too late! Mrs. Big Picture went from no symptoms to full-on flu 2 days after me. Paxlovid helped her dramatically — she went from worse than me to much better in 24 hours.
Integration Issue or Fraud Issue? An ATX notice says " Due to the current market situation, the integration is taking longer than usual." Is this an integration issue or something else? Please consider the AAX announcement Forward Through Adversity. AAX scheduled a system upgrade that will help protect our users from the multiple malicious attacks that we’ve observed during this vulnerable time.
“Everything in life is founded on confidence.” – Ivar Kreuger On October 28, 1929, Swedish businessman Ivar Kreuger appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. He was the most talked about person in the United States at the time because he was rich, powerful and mysterious. Kreuger controlled three-quarters of the production and sales of matches, owning more than 200 match factories in 35 different countries all ar.
There has historically been a pay gap between men and women for comparable jobs which favors men. This phenomenon generally affects retirement funds as well – this is called the gender retirement gap. [1] On average, women earn 17% less than men, taking home $89 compared to the man’s $100. [2] The gender pay gap has lasted throughout history, affecting global economic potential, and has cost the US an annual $1.6 trillion [3] in potential economic activity.

My morning train WFH reads: • Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced boy king of crypto, explained : He was a billionaire who had quickly amassed political and philanthropic influence. What happened? ( Vox ). • Electric Vehicles Start to Enter the Car-Buying Mainstream : While sales are still skewed toward affluent buyers, more people are choosing electric vehicles to save money.

You’ve probably had a daily routine for most of your life – from tying your tie and greeting your coworkers to loosening that tie when you get home. When thinking about retirement, not only does your daily routine change but your financial routine does too. In your working years, you made sure to have a savings and wealth accumulation plan. Your retirement goals were focused on building wealth, but now, your goal is to spend it efficiently.
Avert your eyes! My Sunday morning look at incompetency, corruption and policy failures: • ‘What if Yale finds out?’ : Suicidal students are pressured to withdraw from Yale, then have to apply to get back into the university ( Washington Post ). • The Incredibly Stupid Catastrophe Caused by Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX : A crypto implosion for the history books. ( Slate ) see also Bankman-Fried’s Cabal of Roommates in the Bahamas Ran His Crypto Empire – and Dated.
3 MIN READ. “Knowledge is Power, Power provides Information; Information leads to Education, Education breeds Wisdom; Wisdom is Liberation. People are not liberated because of lack of knowledge.”? Israelmore Ayivor. I love learning and growing my brain, don’t you? I also love when I can immediately apply what I’ve learned, especially when I get the opportunity to do so in a professional setting.
By Corry Collins, CLU, CH.F.C. In my long career, I’ve found this important lesson to be true: If the rate of change outside your business is greater than inside your business, you are out of business. One area where we see a lot of change is technology, and using technology is no longer a choice. They say 80% of the internet is now video. We see robo-advisors, we find advice-free online sales of mutual funds and what was known as identity theft is now known as synthetic cyber identity creation.

Years ago, I got invited by Steven Messer to join him and his co-founder (and brother-in-law) Tad Martin, two very successful NYC founders, out on a bike ride up the West Side Highway and up 9W over the Palisades. It’s a pretty standard route for hundreds of experienced road cyclists every weekend morning. This is before I ever did a triathlon and before I ever even had a proper road bike.

By Bryce Sanders Connecting with clients is less about asking them to buy something and more about them wanting to buy something. This means you’ll want to be top of mind when their bonus comes in or their accountant suggests doing something with their finances. In other words, use a light touch, and the holidays provide an opportunity to do so. Send holiday cards.
Producer Price Index from BLS, chart by Mish. Please consider the BLS Producer Price Index report for October 2022. PPI Key Month-Over-Month Details The Producer Price Index for final demand increased 0.2 percent in October, seasonally adjusted. Final demand prices rose 0.2 percent in September and were unchanged in August. In October, the rise in the index for final demand can be attributed to a 0.6-percent advance in prices for final demand goods.
By Cynthia Kane If I say someone will “never” listen to you, you may bristle at that as you recall all the clients who do listen to you. In fact, there may be a thing or two you’d like to set straight with me. One of these is that it’s impossible that clients never listen to you, or you wouldn’t be in business. What you’re having is a normal reaction to the word “never,” which is what’s known as an absolute word, and it’s a conversation stopper.
