74: Living Simply and In Abundance 45:23

10d ago45:23

45:23

Less is more, for real. Think about it- do you ever feel like you're constantly chasing more? More stuff, more success, more of everything—yet somehow feeling less fulfilled? Less happy? You're not alone. The irony of modern life is that our pursuit of abundance often leaves us feeling empty. So let's talk about it this week with your Coaches Polly…

Policy and the Investment Landscape: An Update 13:58

13d ago13:58

13:58

This week, after a very busy few months, I am putting down my pen, picking up my metaphorical spade and bucket and taking some vacation time. 2025, so far, has been a challenging year for analysts and it is tempting, as I’m trying to clear my desk, to assert that not much has changed over the past few weeks and so I don’t need to update any analysi…

A Softer Sort of Slowdown 11:17

27d ago11:17

11:17

There have only been two U.S. recessions since 2001 – the Great Financial Crisis and the Pandemic Recession. Both of these were huge – accounting for two of the only three times since the 1940s that the unemployment rate has vaulted to double digits. However, because the recessions of our recent memory have been so dramatic, investors may not appre…

Tracking the Economic Slowdown 9:51

1M ago9:51

9:51

A crowd is gathered around the sickbed of the economic expansion. Among the multitude are the workers, consumers and business people who would be most impacted by its demise. There are political partisans too, some fervently praying for recovery, others quietly hoping for the opposite. At the foot of the bed are fiscal and monetary doctors, the for…

Recession Risks, Resilience and American Exceptionalism 10:06

1M ago10:06

10:06

Last weekend, I neglected to finish my Notes on the Week Ahead as I got caught up in watching the Masters. In truth, it was mostly a battle between Rory McIlroy’s emotions, which produced two double-bogeys in his final round, and his exceptional skill, which propelled his second playoff shot to within three feet of the hole. I was particularly happ…

18:24

Coach Polly solo here! Wondering if you ever feel like your days are 'happening TO you' rather than being created BY you?

Tariff Turmoil and Investment Strategy 11:41

2M ago11:41

11:41

One clear advantage of getting older, (and I can attest to many of its disadvantages), is that you learn from experience. The financial market chaos, following the President’s tariff announcement, is different from previous market slumps. Every market selloff is. However, a common thread in all crises is that the best decisions begin with a structu…

Fiscal Fudge 7:35

2M ago7:35

7:35

I may have mentioned this before, but as a young lad, I had a very healthy appetite. Consequently, when deciding on a hobby, I prudently elected to go with “cooking”. My experiments included making fudge and my mother dutifully supplied me with sugar, vanilla and helpful advice. However, we possessed no candy thermometer and, as anyone in the fudge…

2M ago1:13:21

1:13:21

"There are thousands of pathways up the mountain, and all of them have the potential to reach the summit." These epic words from Buddhist teachings perfectly capture the spirit of this deep tradition - which is not a religion, by the way y'all. Coach Sam learns that Buddhism is simply the ART OF LIVING and jumps in! Woohoo! Listen in this week as C…

The Wait and See Economy 12:08

3M ago12:08

12:08

I was running along the roads of our neighborhood last weekend when I came upon a small herd of deer. I often see these beautiful but dopey creatures at dawn as they wander aimlessly in the middle of the road. When a car or truck bears down on them, they stop and stare. Perhaps they are pondering whether it would be more fun to hop into the woods t…

The Trouble with Tariffs 5:45

3M ago5:45

5:45

I was at a conference last week and a financial advisor asked me what I thought he should say when a client asked him what was so bad about tariffs. It’s a fair question. Many people who instinctively believe in free trade would still have a hard time in clearly explaining the trouble with tariffs. And since tariffs are likely to be a big issue thi…

The Implications of Slowing Population Growth 8:11

3M ago8:11

8:11

In December, the Census Bureau announced that the U.S. population had grown by nearly 1% in the year ended July 1st, 2024, marking the strongest annual gain since 2001[1]. Given this, it seems strange to be already talking about slowing population growth. However, the reality is that the gap between births and deaths is continuing to shrink, with a…

Europe: The Slow and Steady Train 11:35

4M ago11:35

11:35

For investors, Europe seems like a train in a station, perpetually gathering steam and loading up for a long-delayed journey, but clearly advertising only a modest pace when it gets under way. Such has been the case for the European economy and, even more so, for European equities for many years. This has, of course, been deeply frustrating for tho…

On Saturday, the White House announced the imposition of heavy tariffs on goods exported from Mexico, Canada and China and all three nations announced their intention to retaliate.

White House Actions, Fed Reactions and Investing 10:10

4M ago10:10

10:10

This Wednesday, at 2:00 PM, the Federal Reserve will release a statement on monetary policy.

However, th…

The Big Picture on Debt, Deficits and Interest Rates 12:25

4M ago12:25

12:25

“Unsustainable!” To quote Inigo Montoya: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means” For decades, journalists, economists, politicians, and central bankers have said that the U.S. federal debt is on an “unsustainable” path. However, it has stayed on that path, climbing from a very manageable $3.3 trillion, or 31.5% o…

Interest Rates, Inflation and the Uncertainty Tax 12:22

12:22

In football, it’s always better, at the snap of the ball to disguise your intentions. Are you going to pass or run the ball? Is it a zone defense or man-to-man? In business or in military maneuvers the same rule applies – keep them guessing. However, in macro-economic management, it is better to make your plans clear. That way businesses can feel m…

Over the holiday season, we got to spend some time with our very charming granddaughter and, as a bonus, I am now fully re-acquainted with all the verses of “The Wheels on the Bus”.

Reading Between the Lines (On the Direction of Monetary Policy) 7:46

When testifying to the Senate Banking Committee back in 1987, the newly-appointed Fed Chairman, Alan Greenspan, provided some insight into his views on communication: “Since becoming a central banker”, he said, “I have learned to mumble with great incoherence.

11:17

I’ve been running my own econometric model of the U.S. economy for almost 30 years now. The basic structure is simple. You start by forecasting the components of demand, that is to say, consumption, investment, trade and government spending. This gives you an initial projection of real GDP growth. You then feed this into labor market equations, alo…

The most urgent task facing investors in the wake of the 2024 elections is figuring out how much of the Trump agenda, as broadly outlined on the campaign trail, will be put into effect.
