417: Market Update from a Former Sovereign Wealth Fund Manager

Podcast: Download

I feel like I am going through another major transition in my life. I turned 50 last September—a fact that I deliberately chose not to publicize.  I hate to admit it, but much of my behavior is stereotypical divorced midlife crisis stuff.

“I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” Ronald Reagan described those as the most dangerous words in the English language.

When I first started podcasting a decade ago, I was very anti-Wall Street. But what does that even mean? I guess I hadn’t really contemplated that.

Podcast: Download

During college, I spent a summer working in a laboratory at the University of Chicago where my biochemistry mentor did his PhD. The lab studied prostate cancer and was the legacy of Charlie Huggins, a surgeon who won the Nobel prize for discovering the testosterone dependence of most prostate cancers. The guy who took over […]
