How to Resist the Zero Interest Rate Mind Virus

The Pomp Letter ·

2023/01/31

To investors,There is a trend online where individuals try to name “zero interest rate phenomenon.” Some of the popular answers include the Island Boys popularity, frustration with an inability to purchase a mansion, working more than one remote technology job, starting a podcast, or NFTs and meme stocks. These examples were all ridiculous and unsustainable in hindsight. They don’t get at the root cause of the problem though.Zero interest rates created a mind virus that infiltrated the brains of an

Grow or Die

The Pomp Letter ·

2023/01/06

To investors,The US national debt is over $31 trillion and US GDP is just under $26 trillion. This gives the largest economy in the world a debt-to-GDP ratio of ~ 125%. Not exactly an ideal situation. The proposed solution for this problem by the majority of individuals and organizations is to reduce the United States’ debt. This would be incredibly difficult to do. Federal income tax revenue has been higher every single year since 2009 (except for 2020), yet the federal deficit has continued to

The Fed Has A Shotgun, Not A Sniper Rifle

The Pomp Letter ·

2023/01/04

To investors,The Federal Reserve used low interest rates and quantitative easing to create one of the largest asset bubbles of our lifetime. They didn’t do it on purpose, but they were the leading contributor. In an effort to redeem themselves, and bring inflation under control, the US-based central bank has been on a mission of destruction for over a year now. The goal is to destroy demand from consumers. If consumers are still buying houses, cars, products, and services, then inflation will

My Top 10 Books of 2022

The Pomp Letter ·

2022/12/28

To investors,I have read approximately one book per week during 2022. It started off as a personal challenge — could I stay disciplined enough to read consistently? But as with most things in life, the benefits of the personal challenge ended up being much more than I originally anticipated.The main benefit that I discovered was an inverse relationship between reading and wasting time on social media. Many of you have heard me talk about it, but a friend gave me a physical book to read over the

Bitcoin's Volatility Is Near All-Time Lows

The Pomp Letter ·

2022/10/13

To investors,One of the most surprising data points over the last few weeks has been bitcoin’s stability against the uncertain and chaotic macro backdrop. The asset, which is historically considered highly volatile by legacy investors, has surprised many people. I asked Will Clemente, co-founder of Reflexivity Research, to write a guest post about this lack of volatility. Below is Will’s analysis.With a tremendous amount of macroeconomic uncertainty overhanging markets, it may be quite surprising

PayPal Wants To Be The Thought Police

The Pomp Letter ·

2022/10/10

To investors,PayPal published a new policy towards the end of last week that was set to go into practice in November. Companies do this all the time and there is never any fanfare. But this policy update was quite different.PayPal explicitly stated that they would target anyone “sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials” that “promote misinformation.” How would they do this? The company would deduct $2,500 from your PayPal account if they deemed you were in

Interesting People. Young People. Young Ideas.

2022/09/23

To investors,There is a famous quote from Angela Bassett that I often think of:“It's important to surround yourself with good people, interesting people, young people, young ideas. Go places, learn new stuff. Look at the world with wonder - don't be tired about it.”Interesting people. Young people. Young ideas. This simple concept is a surefire way to preserve the plasticity of your brain. As we all get older, we tend to get set in our ways. We confuse experience for knowledge. We start to see the

How To Find Great Talent

2022/09/19

To investors,Everyone is in the talent business. Whether you are an entrepreneur, investor, or an employee of a large corporation, we are all trying to find great people to work with. This activity is fairly opaque, so most people rely on their intuition. If you ask them “are you good at finding great talent?,” they will quickly say yes. But is that really true? How do you know you are good? What does it take to find the best talent in the world?These questions led me to read a new book over the

Why Is US Life Expectancy Dropping?

The Pomp Letter ·

2022/09/12

To investors,Investing is a game of demographics. You want to select markets that are ascending, not descending. Data points like population growth, percent of young people, and life expectancy are key indicators of where the world is going. Pick the right market and you can make the trend your friend. Pick the wrong market and you’ll have a strong headwind. I want to spend our time today focused on life expectancy, which is simply “the average period that a person may expect to live.” You would

The Rise and Fall of American Growth

The Pomp Letter ·

2022/09/06

To investors,I hope each of you had a great holiday weekend. This week is going to be a little different than our normal schedule. I am in the middle of reading a fascinating book, The Rise and Fall of American Growth by Robert J. Gordon. Although the book is a New York Times bestseller, there are very few people I know who have read it. Gordon published the book in 2017 and it lays out a unique argument — he “challenges the view that economic growth will continue unabated, and demonstrates that the

Institutions Aren't Running From The Bear Market

2022/08/04

To investors,There has been anticipation of Wall Street institutions joining the bitcoin and crypto industry for years. Fidelity started mining bitcoin back in 2014, which was followed in 2018 with the launch of their custody and trading platform. Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest became the first public fund to invest in bitcoin during the second half of 2015. Since these two pioneers entered the industry, there has been speculation that their peers would quickly follow. While the peers did not follow
