What are you here for?
A quick reader survey
Two things, one of them a favor.
The favor first, and it’s mostly for the paid crowd. I want to know what actually pulled you in. Was it a specific name/stock, the China stuff, or just the general way I think through things? I ask because I genuinely don’t know, and I’d rather not guess.
When you write for a while you build a story in your head about who’s reading and why, and that story is usually half wrong. If a bunch of you came in for one name and I’ve been off writing about something else, I’d like to know that before I spend another three months on the wrong thing.
I put it in a quick survey, it’s four questions, takes about a minute. No pressure, and obviously feel free to skip the ones that don’t apply. I promise it's not going into a void... your responses will actually change what I write and spend time on, so weigh in.
For what it's worth, the usual suspects aren't going anywhere. Asia/China stays front and center, and so do my largest positions. The survey is really about everything past that. I tend to start more things than I finish, and knowing what you'd actually want to read would help me close a few of those tabs.
Last thing, and then I’m done asking you for stuff. Through end of day Sunday, May 31, I’m running 30% OFF the annual plan. If you've been on the fence, this is the cheap window. And if you're already paid, ignore this part and just go yell at me in the survey.
Thanks for reading, as always. It’s a strange and great thing that any of you do.
The fascinating thing about business decisions is they affect every aspect of society, from how we invest in research, to how people conduct their daily lives. It requires therefore a broad education and a profound understanding of basic psychology.
To give a simple example: should you invest in manufacturers of electric vehicles? Are they actually the future or are you headed for financial complications with this approach? Well you should read my article: why piston engines can outcompete EVS if you had a knowledge Renaissance.
Suppose you want to assess investing in Jeff Bezos' or Elon Musk's space technology? Well you should read my article: the Magnificent E-rocket.
Suppose you're thinking of investing in quantum computing as the big new thing that's going to be a massive disruptor? Well you certainly should read some of my articles in particular: unmasking quantum mechanics: when did magic become science.
What if you're thinking of investing in the Trump families company that's planning on going public to build a fusion reactor? Well you definitely should read by article titled: who says the sun is not a fusion furnace? Dinosaurs that's who! There I explain that it's impossible to get energy fusing atoms where some leftover mass magically turns into energy.
Or suppose you would like to take advantage of this spectacular knowledge Renaissance and make a fortune? Try reading: I sent this letter to TVs shark Superstar Barbara Corcoran under the subject title: we desperately need your social media skills to save civilization.
If you don't want to become the richest person on earth taking over piston engine production, maybe you'd like to just be incredibly rich helping me get these ideas out? Try reading my article titled: why do we accept such ridiculous ideas as science? Then you can make wise business decisions!
