I’ve always been amazed at how quickly investors forget what it feels like to lose money. One of my favorite economists, whom will remain unnamed, is a constant stock market cheerleader. He’s never met a market he hasn’t liked. I love his optimism and I too believe, like he does, that Trump’s tax cuts will […]
Winter Olympics: How Good is Michaela Shiffrin?
How good is skier Michaela Shiffrin? “I think she’s maybe the best ski racer I’ve ever seen, male or female,” two-time World Cup champion Bode Miller told reporters.

The Quiet Military Might of Finland
I like the Finnish self-reliance described in this Outside article “Red Dawn in Lapland”: The Finns are loathe to reveal much about their arsenal but happy to discuss their successful conscription program, large reserve force (900,000 strong), and national will to fight, which surveys suggest is second only to Israel’s. Finland has some of the […]

In WIRED, Ali Bouzari makes a great case that food should be allowed to stand on its own merits, not forced into an imitation game it cannot win.

What Will Pensions Buy in 2018?
Securities valuations are at the highest levels they’ve ever been. You can see on my price-to-sales ratio chart of the S&P 500 that valuations are higher today than they were during even the dotcom era.

Get 2018 off on the right foot. A little more than just surviving.
