A Wealth of Common Sense
OCTOBER 28, 2022
There are very few hard and fast rules when it comes to the markets. Nothing works all the time. The greatest investors in the world can go through multi-year periods of underperformance. The dumbest investors in the world can go through multi-year periods of outperformance. These things happen because humans control the financial markets and humans can be erratic at times.

Whenever the next recession happens, every human being on the planet can take credit for calling it in advance. Everyone and their brother has been predicting an economic slowdown for months now. I guess when the Federal Reserve tells you they are willing to throw the economy into a recession to slow inflation, you should believe them. The weird thing is it would be hard to say we’re in a recession right now.

One of the most frequently used analogies in the personal finance space is the similarities between staying physically fit and staying financially fit. Success in both your finances and your health requires some fairly simple rules. To stay healthy you have to eat right and exercise regularly. To build wealth you have to spend less than you earn and invest the difference.

When it comes to their investment portfolios many tend to have a low-risk tolerance and with the unsettling economic situation with the ongoing pandemic, the word “risk” has become even more of a fearsome word for clients. However, amid these fears, it has become difficult for financial advisors to explain to clients that taking appropriate risks is deemed necessary in order

We discussed how ephemeral and short-lived great success can be yesterday in Can Anyone Catch Nokia? As I was writing it, I had no idea it was a metaphor for what would happen a few hours later, a coincidental preface to a discussion about another mega-cap tech — META, aka Facebook. I asked Scott Galloway about which of the Four firms was most likely to falter, we (more or less) agreed that it was Facebook.

Before your generation, retirement had long been perceived as a time when life took a downward turn. But thanks to baby boomers, this perception has radically changed.
