Sorry can you explain where his analysis is wrong? He's not advocating for investing based upon animal spirits. He's explaining that it does exist and is a problem. Do you not believe that financial bubbles or manias occur?

Isn't economic growth the same thing as mass deleveraging? You're generating more cash for the same amount of debt, reducing your leverage multiple or percentage. The question is how to get there when the global economy is not doi

In all cased you are buying access. Imagine how much free time the Clintons would have to meet with the average American if they did not do such engagements. Access is influence.

Yes your point is valid now. How much does it cost to develop and build an aircraft carrier? How much does it cost to develop and build better anti-ship missiles? How hard would combatants object to use of tactical nukes over the ocean? Why

Lob enough hypersonic missiles at something as big as a carrier, and things will get through. Momentum alone will carry a "defeated" missile to the target if it's going fast enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

Khan Academy is a great resource for this. Salman worked in finance. And it really does depend on how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go. I do equity research now... feel free to contact me.

There's another angle to consider here as well. How much do EPS and tax profits mean to investors? Very little so long as underlying cash flow is strong. The new game for corporations has been to minimize their taxable profits while ma

I agree that FB and Instagram have gone downhill as they ramped advertising, but isn't that a well-understood part of the story? My solution is to use them less.

A good point. This is about where public and private ends on the internet, and that debate is still very fluid.

Can confirm firsthand. Started a new job less than a year ago. My new boss shuns/avoids/fears IM, so he'll send me emails with the message contained in the subject line. Strikes me as a little backwards, but he's 50 year

So the solution is basically "teach to the test" for teachers? I don't agree. The problems in our education system go way, way beyond teacher quality. Several of my friends are teachers, they're brilliant people, and the

Hitler did start to replace/subvert his highest ranking military staff, and it's a big reason why he lost the war. Early on he did not micromanage the various theaters, which is partly why the Wermacht did so well early on. As the
