Normally, I am a fan of Steve Rattner’s work. The former Obama “Car Czar” makes great charts and seems to be a fairly level-headed asset manager. But in the great baseball game of punditry, we all occasionally we step up to the plate and whiff.

If they roll over hard, we have a hard landing. It’s not complicated, the only thing that’s up in the air is the tim.

The last new all-time high for the S&P 500 was on January 3, 2022. That means it’s been almost 450 days since we’ve experienced new highs in the stock market. That feels like a long time.

A reader asks: Technology has made investing easier (indexing, direct indexing, robo advisors, etc.). With AI in vogue right now, what does the RIA space/ financial planning look like in another 20-30 years? Will there still be a human need to hold hands/talk you off a ledge, or will the only human interactions be those maintaining the tech behind the scenes?

Yesterday I discussed all the reasons why the return to office was not going so well here in the US (even as RTO does much better in Europe). I spent a lot of time criticizing the sorry state of U.S. infrastructure as one of the many factors driving the reluctance to give up WFH. It doesn’t have to be this way. Back in 2018, I mentioned my personal infrastructure was improving.

Dustin Hoffman is one of the finest actors of his generation. He is also notorious for going all out to get into character. In one movie where Hoffman’s character gets held underwater by a group of killers, he rehearsed by holding his own head underwater until he almost drowned himself. It put him in the hospital on an oxygen tank. In Marathon Man, Hoffman played an obsessive runner.

Writing can be a great hobby to pick up in retirement. Maybe you’ve had an idea for a TV show for a long time, or you’ve always wanted to try writing a novel. Now can be a great time to start! The most important rule for writing is to just do it. This may seem like an obvious rule, but with writing (and any art really) the most important thing is sitting down and actually doing it.
