At the completion of the first ½ of 2021, the global economy and their associated equity markets have made significant progress towards “recovery.” As always, we divide our mid-year report into two parts. First, we recap our shared investment philosophy; second, I share our perspective on the current situation.

The financial press has generated much excitement over the sudden increase in SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies) and the advent of NFTs (non-fungible tokens). Due to the large sums of money being showered on both, the parody skits on Saturday Night Live, and the involvement of “influencer financiers,” there is a lot of buzz.

Where the employment recovery from the Great Recession was long and slow, the recovery from the Pandemic looks to be surprisingly fast.

Meme stocks, by definition, are NOT investments - they are speculations. One will either double (or more) one’s money - if you get out in time and don’t succumb to your own greed - or lose it all (or more) in too short a period of time to qualify as an “investing” time-horizon.

For context – We’ve been here before. This article is itself a refresh from an article I wrote on this topic in 2014 – many percentage points below where we sit today.

The narratives and moralizing about GameStop (on both sides) belies a serious lack of knowledge about how markets work, and ignores a whole swath of people who will be hurt by this.

Once in a very great while, there comes a year in the economy and the markets that may serve as a tutorial—in effect, a master class in the principles of successful long-term, goal-focused, and planning-driven investing. 2020 was just such a year.

Late into the day on December 21, Congress finally passed a much anticipated (and arguably long-overdue) second stimulus package. Signed by the President on December 27, the new stimulus package has already begun affecting Americans as we ring in the new year.

Team Mindful Money discusses the slowdown of market improvements, unemployment claims, current budget deficit, pending stimulus, possible double-dip recession and spike in new business starts — as well as the lessons learned by 2020 financial predictions.

Team Mindful Money discusses societal trends and high-frequency economic data in light of the 2020 election, vaccine availability, and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) trade deal, and the potential impacts our economy and investments.

I’m not making any assumptions, but given that Trump’s re-election would yield more of the same chaos, I wanted to imagine what the next 4 years might look like under a Biden presidency and his plan. What would the impact be on several factors such as the tax code, Social Security, and savings for retirement?

The coronavirus is still very much with us, as is much of the economic dislocation occasioned by the virus and accompanying lockdowns. We are closing in rapidly on a number of vaccines. But it may be quite some time before most of us will have access to them, and there will inevitably be frustration in the process.
