One of the core philosophical beliefs I hold dear is that the future is inherently unknown and unknowable. This tends to be true for the vast majority of people almost all of the time. The world is full of endless, random, often-invisible factors that greatly impact outcomes. Our own psychology works against our understanding this: Our hindsight bias allows us to see these unknowable results with perfect after-the-fact clarity; that fools us into believing our prior expectations turned out to be

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve spend a lot of time worrying about Inflation Expectations. They shouldn’t. Sentiment surveys in general are mostly useless (except at the extremes). They aren’t merely lagging, backward-looking indicators, but instead, tell you what the public experienced 3- 6 months ago. Beyond short-term extrapolation, they have little to no ability to provide insight into intermediate-term (6-12 months) inflation.

Amid a tight job market and low unemployment rates, a significant amount of the U.S. ‘talent gap’ is filled by foreign-born workers on employment visas like the H-1B. These visas allow foreign workers to live and work in the country temporarily while they are employed – although in practice, this can mean that individuals can spend years or decades (or even their entire career) working in the U.S. on a ‘temporary’ visa.
