Happy Saturday everyone. I took the day off of writing but I was catching up in the studio making podcasts with Knut and recording zoom video conversations with some of my favorite investors.
There is this old saying in the markets that stocks are stories and bonds are math.

I started recording some of my Zoom calls with investors, traders, and entrepreneur friends to share with everyone. I am calling this series of Zoom’s ‘Investing For Profit and Joy’. First up is Jeff Richards of GGV who I have had on the podcast a couple of times. He has a great feel for the biggest trends taking place around the world. I loved how he frames this moment as a ‘rebooting of the American Economy’ and I think you will get some great ideas and insights. You can watch/listen here on YouTube:
Have a great weekend.
