Weekly Notes
April 3 — “What You’re Trying to Teach and What You’re Actually Teaching” Opening stock trading accounts for kids is more likely to teach bad habits than patience, and competitions judged on strategy quality — rather than portfolio returns — are a better model for financial education.
April 10 — “Vibes & Valuations” Using the anticipated SpaceX IPO as a case study, the post cautions that when retail enthusiasm peaks, even great companies can make for terrible investments.
April 17 — “The Good News Is There. It Just Doesn’t Make Headlines” Strong earnings, normalizing valuations, and the benefits of diversification tell a more optimistic story than the headlines suggest.
April 24 — “Investing While Sad” Despite historic lows in consumer sentiment, widespread pessimism is framed as a bullish signal — markets only need news to be slightly less bad than feared to move higher.
