Il terzo modo di guardare all’inflazione è tipicamente americano ed è il costo del pieno di benzina che si fa al centro commerciale quando si fa la spesa settimanale.

L’importanza psicologica di questo terzo indicatore è difficile da sopravvalutare. Si provi a sovrapporre il grafico del prezzo della benzina e quello della popolarità di Biden e si vedrà una quasi perfetta correlazione inversa. I politici conoscono benissimo questa situazione, al punto che l’amministrazione Biden ha deciso nei mesi scorsi di scaricare sul mercato globale le ingenti riserve di greggio americane accumulate nei quarant’anni passati, programmandone le vendite esattamente fino a novembre, quando saranno quasi esaurite.

A novembre, come abbiamo visto, le vendite delle scorte strategiche di petrolio termineranno. A quel punto, o la domanda di greggio (che finora non ha mostrato nessun segno di debolezza) inizierà a scendere per effetto di una recessione, o il prezzo del petrolio, che già adesso sembra mordere il freno, dovrà riprendere a salire.

It’s hard to determine what is dumb luck and what is unfortunate risk. Investing is a game of probabilities, and almost all probabilities are less than 100%. You can make a good bet with the odds in your favor and still lose, and a reckless bet and still win.

By JOACHIM KLEMENT I have been going on about the existence or non-existence of systematic risks factors like value or momentum for so long, that all my readers will by now be familiar with the seminal paper by Cam Harvey, Yan Liu and Heqing Zhu where they test more than 300 different risk...

Retirement is more than a transition from the daily grind to a life of leisure. It is a major turning point in our relationship with money. For decades we save and invest, watching as our pile of money grows. In retirement, we must flip a switch and begin spending down hard-earned assets. The good habits we formed while working and saving turn against us and inhibit our ability to enjoy the fruits of our labor.

But making this shift in mindset isn’t easy. It requires learning a new skill; the ability to spend without feeling stress or anxiety. This is a skill set that has never before been required of human beings.

Today, millions of retiring Baby Boomers realistically expect to live for two or more decades in retirement. Longer life expectancies present a major retooling of our societal norms and expectations. One of those will be the ability to spend down retirement assets.

Retirement is more than a transition in our relationship with money. It is a major shift in our sense of self. The work that has defined our lives for decades begins to fade from view. Everything about life is different after retirement, down to the minute details of the daily routine.

The 8-hour workday has been the norm for more than a century, but employee surveys suggest that most people are genuinely productive only for about three hours every day.

The Size Factor
Small caps are trading at the steepest discount to large caps in decades

The other possibility is that something has structurally changed with small caps relative to large caps. It’s possible, but we doubt it.
