A World of Bullies, Copycats and Chickens: is short-term economic forecasting still relevant?
- Are quarterly economic forecasts still relevant in today’s world?
- If the answer is NO (as I think,) where should investors seek guidance in a world of geo-political bullying, emerging
- trade wars and strongly volatile markets.
- My answer is simple: Take your guidance from YOU. Your personal situation and future liabilities should be the only driving forces.
- So copy what all the big institutional investors are doing and pursue Investing for Personal Liabilities (IPL); it is the only answer.
- But note: The IPL approach requires all cards on the table and brutal honesty, thorough analysis and a lot of soul searching (example provided).
