Weird Markets = Warning Sign

I only make money in markets when I take a breath, slow down and step back. It’s easy to get too caught up in events as if investing were a soccer match…did they cut? …what did Yellen say exactly?

Financial Rip Currents

I took Saturday off and went surfing.

Liquidity Tightens

I don’t enjoy days like today.

The Instability Of Wealth, Banks and Capitalism

A week ago, I had never heard of SVB bank.

Investment Update

To my wonderful unpaid Subscribers, thank you for being a part of this. Today’s post is paid-Subscriber only. Below, I share how my thinking has evolved and tie this to specific portfolio allocations. Between previous posts and podcasts, there is plenty of unpaid content to peruse! And there are always books to read, like Raising a Thief and Master, Minion. If you have read either and liked them, please post a review!

Navigating With A Janky Compass

Hi there! To my many unpaid subscribers, today I’m jumping directly to the paywall and skipping free content. If you are after free content, I get it and am delighted you have signed up. However, I need to balance your desire for free stuff with my desire to build a business! If you are a student, give me a shout. I may make adjustments. Separately, next week I head to Chile to better understand copper, lithium, and politics. If there are Subscribers down there or if you know someone good to talk to, please let me know. Today subscribers receive my outlook, investment results, asset allocation, and the details of a Subscriber-only call later this week.

China’s Fading Boom

Xi scares me. And I’m far from his grasp. I can’t imagine what it is like if you are close.

Flying In a Typhoon

Most of the week I was in San Francisco and today want to share a framework for tech that I think you will find helpful. Before doing so, I will briefly touch on what is going on in the world because things are moving so fast. Whether via work, savings or relationships, we are flying through an economic/geopolitical typhoon.
