Maybe it’s the LA weather. Maybe it’s the new stadium Whatever it is, the Jets won a game. And, according to the NFLonFOX commentators, it’s the biggest upset of the season. All I wanted is to avoid an 0-16 season. Now the Jets can lose the remaining game for the draft. …see more

Good morning. France's Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire indicated this morning that the government has revised its growth projection for 2020 from an 8 percent to an 11 percent contraction.

A strong open for US stocks, and for the right reason: Good medical news (re the Gilead Sciences treatment) overwhelms horrid Q-1 US GDP numbers. The major indices are up 1.6-2.1%. Interestingly, 10-year yield is still lower on the day, though by only 1 bp. Oil is stronger as the bad ETF technicals fade. #markets #stocks #oil #bonds #stockmarket #economy #investing #investmentmanagement #selloff #volatility #equities #yields #fixedincome …see more

Conference Board measure of US consumer sentiment fell from a revised 118.8 to 86.9. This fall was exceeded only once before: in 1973 during the oil crisis. Three reasons why markets have shrugged off the data: Expected by some, and/or Deemed irrelevant for those who "look through" the economic hit, and/or Reinforces the notion of the Fed Put. #markets #economy #stocks #bonds #investing #fed #federalreserve …see more

These Bloomberg Markets charts for the Dow (last 2-days and the week so far) are representative of what I feel is still ahead for stock markets unfortunately. That is: Considerable volatility (intra- and multi-day) ...

We tend to think that mentors must be individuals who are ahead of us in their career trajectory ... and their years on the planet too. But many of the best mentors I've had were people who were younger than me and  had fewer years in the work force. Sometimes they offered me a sense of passion when I was feeling jaded. Or insights into an audience or technology that I lacked. Quite often they were exceptionally good thinkers, who were willing to wrestle a problem to the ground and explore out-of-the-box solutions. The right question to ask when looking for a mentor is "What do I need right now to move myself forward professionally?" The answer is never dictated by age or experience. Wisdom is always bigger than the human limitations we put on it. …see more

Oprah Winfrey is an #inspiration to many people and proof that all of us, no matter what personal circumstances we have gone through or personal hardships we face, we can find purpose through passion. In this #powertalk by Oprah, she talks about authentic power and unleashing the #energy of your soul. I also very much relate to this. Here are the three things that I like in this video - 1. Authentic #power and energy of your soul: The true Power can never be taken away from you. Your personality can come to serve the energy of the soul. That is when you become what you have come to do in the world. 2. Giving back and true legacy: Living from the heart and giving what you have been given. And it is not only about giving money. A true legacy is about touching the lives to people and inspiring them to live to their full #potential . 3. #Empowering a girl child: When you change the trajectory of a girl’s life, you change a community’s life, and education has the power to overcome poverty. …see more
