How to Invest with a Looming Recession

May 22, 2022 by Mike

A reader writes in, asking: “I had a question that might work well for an upcoming blog post. Deutsche Bank recently forecasted an upcoming recession, and I was curious what your suggestion would be regarding how to invest a bonus with a potentially looming recession.” It’s important to make a distinction between the stock market and recessions. For a few reasons, a recession happening over a particular period does not necessarily mean that the stock market would perform poorly over that period. Firstly, the stock market is concerned with how much profit businesses earn. Recessions are determined by changes in production. (Specifically, a recession is usually defined as a decline in GDP over two consecutive quarters.) Production and profitability are linked, but production … [Read More...]

Nine Dividend Growth Stocks Rewarding Shareholders With a Raise

May 15, 2022 by

I review the list of dividend increases every week, as part of my monitoring process. I usually focus my attention on the companies with a ten year streak of annual dividend increases, and then review each company using my criteria. I am always on the lookout for new ideas, and to determine if my existing holdings are working. I also want to be ready to act quickly, when the right time… To read the whole article, please click on the article title above. [Read More...]

Investing Blog Roundup: Jack Bogle, Rabble-Rouser

May 15, 2022 by Mike

When you think of the words punk or rabble-rouser, you probably don’t think of a man in his late eighties, wearing a navy blazer and khakis. But as Eric Balchunas writes, that’s exactly what Vanguard founder Jack Bogle was. He turned an industry on its head, and he spoke his mind in a way that few people really do. As Balchunas notes, “His TV hits on business networks were mostly about the futility of trying to pick stocks or time the market. He’d give a speech at an ETF conference about why ETFs were awful, or trash active management at a conference for fund managers.” “He built an entire genre of investing by trying to eliminate everything that gets in the … [Read More...]

Mapped: The World’s Population Density By Latitude

May 15, 2022 by Tyler Durden

Mapped: The World’s Population Density By Latitude When you think about areas with high population densities, certain regions spring to mind. This could be a populous part of Asia or a cluster of cities in North America or Europe. Usually density comparisons are made using cities or countries, but this map from Alasdair Rae provides another perspective. This world map depicts population density by latitude, going from the densest populated coordinates in deep red to the sparsest in light blue. Why Certain Latitudes (and Regions) Are More Densely Populated As Visual Capitalist’s Anete Lusina details below, numerous factors affect an area’s population density. These can range from topography, or the physical terrain characteristics of the place, to more direct factors like an area’s climate, which can impact … [Read More...]

Tom Russo and the Capacity to Suffer and the Capacity to Reinvest

May 8, 2022 by

I like to study successful investors, as part of my effort to continuously improve on my process. Tom Russo is one such investor. I believe I can learn from him. Between 1990 and 2021, his fund, Semper Vic Partners delivered a total return of 12% to its investors. This was better than the 11.10% return of Dow Jones Industrials average and 10.50% return on S&P 500. Russo invests in a few… To read the whole article, please click on the article title above.

"The Whole Planet Is A Pot, And We’re All Frogs"

May 8, 2022 by Tyler Durden

“The Whole Planet Is A Pot, And We’re All Frogs” Authored by Ugo Bardi via The Seneca Effect blog, The lockdown in China: if the powerful are doing something that looks stupid, it’s because whatever they’re doing IS actually stupid I received several comments on my post “The Shanghai Lockdown: a Memetic Analysis,” and I think that some were so interesting to be worth reproducing in a full-fledged post. The first comment comes from an anonymous commenter living in China. It seems to me believable, and also consistent with my interpretation. In practice, the Chinese were (and are) not the only one who are conditioned by factors such as avoiding a loss of face. Italians did the same during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. There seems … [Read More...]

How Do State Taxes Affect Retirement Planning?

May 8, 2022 by Mike

A reader writes in, asking: “Would it be possible for you to write an article on how to best account for state income taxes when planning as a retiree or near-retiree?” It’s obviously challenging to write any sort of catch-all article about state taxation, because the rules vary from one state to another. But the following are the primary questions that I start with when doing a retirement/tax plan. (Of course, the answers to these questions sometimes bring up other questions.) What are the state’s rules regarding taxation of Social Security benefits? What are the state’s rules regarding distributions from traditional IRAs? What are the state’s rules regarding distributions from tax-deferred employer plan accounts such as … [Read More...]

The People Behind DHS’s Orwellian "Disinformation Governance Board"

May 1, 2022 by Tyler Durden

The People Behind DHS’s Orwellian “Disinformation Governance Board” Authored by Jeff Thompson via The Organic Prepper blog, A “Disinformation Governance Board” has just been created and is going to be run by the Department of Homeland Security. Their primary goal is going to be to “police” what is deemed to be “misinformation” or “disinformation.” No clarification has been given as of yet as to what this policing will mean, but it has been pointed out that the creation of this new Disinformation Governance Board is going to have the full strength of the DHS behind it. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said, “the goal is to bring the resources of (DHS) together to address this threat.” Nina Jankowicz has been chosen to head up the new … [Read More...]

How Much Are We Prepared To Sacrifice To Help The US Win A Propaganda War Against Putin?

April 24, 2022 by Tyler Durden

How Much Are We Prepared To Sacrifice To Help The US Win A Propaganda War Against Putin? Authored by Caitlin Johnstone via Substack, There’s a very important question that we all need to be asking ourselves at this point in history, and that question is as follows: how much are we as a society willing to sacrifice so that the US government can win a propaganda war against Vladimir Putin? Let me explain. One severely under-discussed aspect of the latest round of escalations in Silicon Valley censorship which began at the start of the Ukraine war is the fact that it’s an entirely unprecedented order of censorship protocol. While it might look similar to all the other waves of social media purges and new categories of … [Read More...]

The Three Biggest Social Security Misconceptions

April 24, 2022 by Mike

Many people’s mental model of Social Security spousal/survivor benefits works like this: Your spousal benefit is equal to half of your spouse’s retirement benefit. Your survivor benefit is equal to the amount your spouse was receiving as a retirement benefit prior to his/her death. If you file for a spousal benefit and a retirement benefit (or a survivor benefit and a retirement benefit), you get the greater of the two amounts. Unfortunately, all three of those statements are wrong. They’re close enough, if you’re far from Social Security filing age and you just want a rough understanding of the system. But if you’re trying to do any planning with actual math, or if you’re trying to interact with the … [Read More...]
