If after more than 60 years of academics hectoring investors not to do something, and yet they still do it, perhaps it's the academics who need to rethink their assumptions?

All the gorey details in The Ownership Dividend. H/t @spencerjakab.bsky.social

I suppose my publisher has to make up for putting out books on financial history/dividend-focused investing.

Turgenev's take on R's view of negotiations with Ukr? From Julian Barnes' gripping novel-bio of Shostakovich.

Two very good graphs from Markham's bio of Napoleon. And both apply outside of their specific contexts, the mark of history well written.

Photo of the year? It depends on the outcome. High stakes for both, though only one knows it.

Not part of the MBA or finance curriculum, but it should be. (From a retired colleague)

Fair question from another platform. I don't know what research they may be using. In TOD, two chapters cover the pro/anti camps. But the anti has been much more prominent over the decades. In the end, however, it comes down to philosophy, not finance. 1/3

Regardless of what the new administration does, it will take a long time to unwind the US soft power implications of a Singapore taxi driver humming along to the Carpenters Top of the World playing on the local pop station. 😀😃

Some fan mail. T/y. I would read in reverse--1st Orange(2024) on what happens when rates stop going down after 40 yrs.

Then Green(2018) on the arc of MPT/CAPM, asking whether models from the 50/60s still make sense 60-70 yrs later.

Red(2013)/Blue(2011) books have their moments but are more dated.

Mag7 going deep on capital expenditures, some $300 billion deep in 2025 alone. It begs the question, "Who's minding the store?"

One year later, the response to The Ownership Dividend has been all about Philosophy, not Finance.

Your brief friendly reminder that there's nothing wrong, and a lot right, with being a minority owner of businesses thru the stock market, and being paid in cash.
