Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastThe Point of The PointLife’s dramatic and unexpected change keeps us vital and longing to see what will happen next. To experience, to travel, to be a loose-fitting component to a tightly fitted place. Anywhere one can be a loose component and absorb the unique experiences of societies and cultures where we will never fit. I am not finished. It is easy to give up sometimes, especially when one feels tired, and abandoned, and, like many, the best is behind me. What is the point of continuing? Like The Point, the point is to go on. One is ne...2022-10-0613 min
Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastInvestment Strategies and IrrationalityInvestment success combines predicting the future, the confidence to make bold choices, and the fortitude to stay with those choices. Today's volatile and uncertain world requires new knowledge and perspective and assembling relevant facts from many diverse sources to make better decisions and achieve superior returns. There is no simple formula. Thoughtful observation of complex factors, understanding their interrelation, and predicting the outcome of their interaction is challenging. Media-based quips are usually misguided, superficial, and potentially catastrophic.2022-04-2810 min
Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastTransformation, Opportunity, and AbsurditySome of the world's most important industries are being profoundly impacted by new technological innovations and platforms, such as artificial intelligence, digital assets, blockchain-based businesses, gene editing, and DNA sequencing, enabling unprecedented disruption to business and economic models. Stable predictability is increasingly anachronistic. Every company or industry will either be a disrupter or disrupted. The leading growth companies of today stand an excellent chance to be memories tomorrow.2022-04-2810 min
Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastDigital Assets, Distributed Ledgers, and the Future of Capital MarketsDistributed ledger technology (Blockchain) and digital assets have the potential to dramatically disrupt global equity and debt markets.

It is an irreversible disruptive force transforming capital markets and the global financial system.2022-04-2812 min
Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastDigital Assets, the Environment, and Green EnergyDigital currencies, crypto assets, digitized securities, and distributed ledgers require an enormous amount of power. While the combination of these assets is subject to tremendous hype, the environmental impact has been mostly ignored. However, this is changing because there has been increasing alarm about crypto’s carbon footprint and environmental impact.2022-04-2808 min
Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastTech Policy and Unintended ConsequencesTechnology is facing policy changes with global resonance, such as China’s new crackdown, the rising resistance to social media, and government's desire to manage and control technological development. "I’ll build a wall and we will be fine behind it.” This did not work for China’s First Emperor, and it will not work for its current one. The tech crackdown, regardless of any good intentions, will bring disastrous consequences. Regardless of any good intentions, this will add friction, inefficiency, and underperformance to the most dynamic global industry. The best intentions usually bring disastrous conseque...2022-04-2817 min
Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastNoise and UnpredictabilityInflation fears, currency tremors, market jitters, and emotional vacillation causing joy and terror because all these outcomes seem equally likely. No realistic gauge is showing reliable directions for key metrics. Near-term data usually predicts the near-term future, and that usually gives us a reasonable sense of comfort about the markets, and how to plan, prepare, predict, and withstand anticipated market moves. But that is not the case now.2022-04-2806 min

Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastPtolemy, Galileo, and Financial MarketsEconomics assumes that supply and demand do not determine prices in financial markets. Asset-pricing theory says prices in financial markets are determined by expected future cash flows rather than buying and selling dynamics. Therefore, stocks and bonds are mostly immune from supply and demand determining prices. This is nonsense. As with the ancient Ptolemaic model of our solar system that assumed the earth was at the center, efficient pricing theory is increasingly complex and inaccurate. Its fundamental assumption is wrong.2021-08-2306 min
Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastImportant and UnknowableEconomists would make one fundamental mistake - Economics is not a science. Human behavior and irrationality, combined with the market's unpredictability and randomness make predictions mostly useless. Mostly useless means you are destructive. It is impossible to know the answer to the most critically important questions. So perhaps the best advice, to quote Charles Bukowski, is "don't try."2021-07-3119 min
Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastThe 6,000 Year BubbleGold is built on a collective belief in its value. There is nothing fundamentally "inherent" other than an agreed-upon value. The same is true with Bitcoin and, it's fair to say that all asset prices are fundamentally based on the collective belief about value regardless of some perceived "inherent" value. Game Theory contends that there is a "focal point" around which people coordinate their actions, and it is how value is determined in a market. This explains gold's value for over 6000 years, and it appears to explain bitcoin's value today.2021-07-0308 minNicholas Mitsakos an EntrepreneurBitcoin And Digital Currencies A Simple Definition by Nicholas MitsakosAccording to Nicholas Mitsakos Bitcoin and other digital currencies are going mainstream, and along with that, increased volatility.

Initiative, savvy, luck, circumstance, and convolution have taken over currencies - at least digital creations purporting to be currencies. Not to be outdone, here come central bank digital coins Digital coins represent clever people taking on central government's mighty bureaucrats. Armed with simplicity, clarity, and algorithms, they are defeating all administrations’ fondness for complexity, confusion, and rules.

Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastStimulus and SillinessThe world economy is struggling. During the worst of this pandemic, the world's developed economies provided an enormous fiscal stimulus on a scale not seen since the second world war. Now, the US is proposing to more than double its already generous fiscal stimulus. While there is a strong case for a more aggressive approach to fiscal policy, that policy still needs to be grounded in economic realities and reasonable priorities. These are not.2021-05-1111 min

Investment Principles and Strategies' podcastLessons from a Failed Investment FundThe Archegos implosion teaches the same lessons that need to be taught repeatedly. High leverage eventually brings margin calls. Margin calls equal disaster. Margin calls come when too much leverage is attached to securities linked to market volatility. All securities are linked to market volatility. There is no such thing as uncorrelated assets anymore. Investment strategies founded on the belief that the securities held are somehow immune from previously "uncorrelated" volatility are anachronistic. Combine these investments with substantial leverage intended to enhance returns, and this strategy ends in disaster. 2021-03-3107 min
