One of the core philosophical beliefs I hold dear is that the future is inherently unknown and unknowable. This tends to be true for the vast majority of people almost all of the time. The world is full of endless, random, often-invisible factors that greatly impact outcomes. Our own psychology works against our understanding this: Our hindsight bias allows us to see these unknowable results with perfect after-the-fact clarity; that fools us into believing our prior expectations turned out to be

The economic recovery following the Covid-induced recession in early-2020 has climbed the proverbial wall of worry. We’ve experienced the strongest labor market in a generation but the vibes have been off for a while now. Last summer the University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment hit its lowest level on record: That’s lower than it was during the 2008 financial crisis, lower than it was in the early-1.

Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve spend a lot of time worrying about Inflation Expectations. They shouldn’t. Sentiment surveys in general are mostly useless (except at the extremes). They aren’t merely lagging, backward-looking indicators, but instead, tell you what the public experienced 3- 6 months ago. Beyond short-term extrapolation, they have little to no ability to provide insight into intermediate-term (6-12 months) inflation.

I have a love-hate relationship with historical market data. On the one hand, since we can’t predict the future, calculating probabilities from the past in the context of the present situation is our only hope when it comes to setting expectations for financial markets. On the other hand, an overemphasis on historical data can lead to overconfidence if makes you believe that backtests can be treated as gospel.

A reader asks: I have recently shifted a substantial portion of the cash portion of my savings into 3-4 month T-bills to take advantage of higher yields and state tax advantages. As of today, they are all set to mature in June and July. I know a US debt default is highly unlikely, but the risk-averse part of me is still a little nervous about what would happen if Congress actually lets the unthinkable happen.
