  • A Viral Market Update XI: The Flexibility Premium July 2, 2020
    I must confess that when I started these updates in February, I did not expect to be doing them in July, but a crisis is as good a time as any, to learn new lessons and relearn old ones. As the virus makes a comeback, particularly in the United States, it is not surprising that […]
  • A Viral Market Update X: A Corporate Life Cycle Perspective June 19, 2020
    Fear and greed are dueling forces in financial markers at all times, but especially so in periods of uncertainty, when they pull in opposite directions, causing wild market swings and momentum shifts. I think that no matter what your market views are right now, you would agree that we are in a period of intense […]
  • A Viral Market Update IX: A Do-it-Yourself S&P 500 Valuation June 4, 2020
    It has been close to four weeks since my last viral market update, and I could come up with a whole host of excuses for the delay, but the truth is that I have not had much to say that is original, and I am naturally lazy. That said, markets have settled in, mostly with […]

  • A Viral Market Meltdown VI: The Price of Risk April 8, 2020

  • A Viral Market Meltdown V: Back to Basics! March 31, 2020

  • A Viral Market Meltdown IV: Investing for a post-virus Economy March 23, 2020
    At the end of each of the weeks leading into the last one, I have done a market update, reflecting the changes that occurred in the week, not just to market values, but also to investor psyches, and each week, I have hoped that it would be the last one needed for this crisis. That […]
  • Data Update 7 for 2020: Debt Delusions and Reality March 21, 2020
