2026 Annual Asset Class Review

I am once again writing this report from a first-class sleeping cabin on Amtrak’s legendary California Zephyr. By day, I have a comfortable seat next to a panoramic window. At night, they fold into two bunk beds, a single and a double. There is a shower, but only Houdini could navigate it. Not made for […]

The Market Outlook for the Week Ahead, or Leading Into a Punch

There’s nothing worse than leading into a punch. The outcome for any mixed martial artist or karate black belt is usually disastrous: a broken nose, brain damage, or death. It only took a few choice words from Jay Powell’s Friday Jackson Hole speech to set the markets on fire and trigger a 1,000-point rally in […]

The Market Outlook for the Week Ahead, or The Case of the Missing Tariffs
