Stop Listening to Pundits

"Pundits come into and out of fashion like, well fashion. Hemlines rise and fall, colors come in and go out of favor, styles change. The clothing industry changes fashion to drive consumers to make new purchases to refresh their wardrobes. The media sees the rise and fall of specific Pundits for the same reason: There is always a need for fresh meat to feed the daily beast." - Barry RitholtzFor more visit: The Big PictureFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.

It’s the Most Forecasty Time of the Year

"The future is always uncertain. Whenever you hear this phrase, you should automatically translate it into: “We are really nervous about what might happen.” Discussions about “Uncertainty” are far more revealing about the speaker than they are about the future" - Barry RitholtzFor more visit: The Big PictureFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.

Structural or Transitory?

"Prices have risen in many areas, and the question is whether the annualized rate of increase will stay high, or fall back to normal, from these elevated levels. I suspect we are two-thirds through a reset in prices, many of which will prove sticky, but are unlikely to continue at these elevated rates of change." - Barry RitholtzFor more visit: The Big PictureFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.

Who Is Quitting and Why?

"Instead of gradually raising the minimum wage over time nationally, first to $10, then $12, and putting it on a path towards $15, we have seen the pressure build for years . . . then during the pandemic lockdown, we experienced an 18 month period when low-wage workers reconsidered their careers. The dam broke, the results being both a sudden spike in wages and a shortage of workers." - Barry RitholtzFor more visit: The Big PictureFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.
