In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. In this series, they discuss Chapter 31: The Uncertainty of Investing.LEARNING: Equity investing is always about uncertainty. “Most investors think of investing as much more like risk and forget there's a lot of uncertainty. That's a problem because investing is always about uncertainty. You have to recognize that we cannot rely on historical data to tell us that much about the future.”Larry Swedroe In this episode of Enrich Your Future, Andrew and Larry Swedroe discuss Larry's new book, Enrich Your Future: The Keys to Successful Investing. The book is a collection of stories that Larry has developed over 30 years as the head of financial and economic research at Buckingham Wealth Partners to help investors. You can learn more about Larry's Worst Investment Ever story on Ep645: Beware of Idiosyncratic Risks.Larry deeply understands the world of academic research and investing, especially risk. Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 31: The Uncertainty of Investing.Chapter 31: The Uncertainty of InvestingIn this chapter, Larry explains the difference between risk and uncertainty. He highlights that one of the most important concepts to grasp is that investing is about dealing with both risk and uncertainty.University of Chicago professor Frank Knight defined risk and uncertainty as follows: Risk is present when future events occur with measurable probability. Uncertainty is present when the likelihood of future events is indefinite or incalculable. Larry further explains that risk involves known probabilities, like casino odds or life insurance estimates, while uncertainty involves unknown outcomes, such as major events like the Great Depression or COVID-19.Larry explains that we sometimes know the odds of an event occurring with certainty. For example, because of demographic data, we can reasonably estimate the odds that a 65-year-old couple will have at least one spouse live beyond 90. However, we cannot know the exact odds because future advances in medical science may extend life expectancy. Conversely, new diseases may arise that shorten life expectancy.Why must you understand the difference between risk and uncertainty?Larry insists that it is crucial to understand the difference between risk and uncertainty. This understanding is key, as many investors mistakenly view equities as closer to risk, where the odds can be precisely calculated. This misconception often arises when economic conditions are favorable. The ability to estimate the odds gives investors a false sense of confidence, leading them to make decisions that exceed their ability, willingness, and need to take risks.However, Larry adds that the perception of equity investing shifts from risk to uncertainty during crises. Since investors prefer risky bets (where they can calculate the odds, like investing in a stable company with a proven track record) to uncertain bets (where the odds cannot be calculated, like investing in a startup with an unpredictable future) when the markets begin to appear to investors to become uncertain, the risk premium demanded rises, and that is what causes severe bear markets.Further, dramatic falls in prices lead to panicked...

“Se lo Stato governasse il deserto del Sahara, in cinque anni ci sarebbe carenza di sabbia” – Milton FriedmanMilton Friedman, Premio Nobel per l'Economia nel 1976, è un nome noto anche al grande pubblico. Si laureò presso l'Università di Chicago, dove rappresentò - dopo Frank Knight and Henry Simons - la nuova generazione dell'omonima “scuola” di pensiero economico. Ebbe allievi illustri, a partire da Gary Becker, e influenzò generazioni di economisti. Friedman basa i suoi lavori e il suo pensiero su quella che a Chicago si chiama “teoria dei prezzi” e altrove si chiama “microeconomia”. Sotto il profilo metodologico, Friedman era un empirista radicale, che ha imposto una nuova forma alla discussione economica, basata sul confronto puntuale coi dati e sulla verifica dell'efficacia di modelli e previsioni nel confronto con la realtà. E' noto per aver promosso il “monetarismo”, una serie di proposte politiche allineate sulla teoria quantitativa della moneta e volte, appunto, a controllare la massa monetaria per evitare l'inflazione. A differenza di molti accademici, Friedman fu anche uno straordinario comunicatore, e dedicò gli anni del suo pensionamento alla divulgazione delle idee economiche e attraverso la pubblicazione di diverse rubriche, libri e serie tv.Protagonista:Lisa KinspergherOspite:Nicola Giocoli, professore di economia politica all'Università di PisaConsigli di lettura:- “Capitalismo e Libertà” (2010, [1962]) di Milton Friedman, IBL Libri https://www.brunoleoni.it/capitalismo-e-liberta- “Storia monetaria degli Stati Uniti, 1867-1960” (2022, [1963]) di Milton Friedman e Anna Schwartz, IBL Libri https://www.brunoleoni.it/storia-monetaria-degli-stati-uniti-1867-1960 - “Milton Friedman.

In our latest installment, watch a discussion with Bruce Caldwell, editor of Mont Pèlerin 1947: Transcripts of the Founding Meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society, published by the Hoover Institution Press and John B. Taylor the George P. Shultz Senior Fellow in Economics at the Hoover Institution.  The discussion is moderated by Bill Whalen, the Virginia Hobbs Carpenter Distinguished Policy Fellow in Journalism, and a Hoover Institution research fellow. ABOUT THE EDITOR Bruce Caldwell was a distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution. A historian of economic thought, he is a research professor of Economics and the founder and director of the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. His latest works is as the editor of Mont Pèlerin 1947: Transcripts of the Founding Meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society, published by the Hoover Institution Press. ABOUT THR BOOK Marking the 75th anniversary of the first meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society, in 1947, this volume presents for the first time the original transcripts from this landmark event. The society was created by Friedrich Hayek as a forum for leading economists and intellectuals to discuss and debate classical liberal values in the face of a rapidly changing world and political trends toward socialism. Bruce Caldwell, a major scholar of Hayek, provides an informative introduction and explanatory notes to the source documents, drawn from the Hoover Institution Library & Archives, where they have been available to scholars. Now accessible to all, the transcripts reveal what was said on a wide range of topics, including free markets, monetary reform, wage policy, taxation, agricultural policy, the future of Germany, Christianity, and liberalism, and more. They provide insights into the thinking of men such as Hayek, Milton Friedman, Aaron Director, Frank Knight, Walter Eucken, Karl Popper, and other leading figures in the classical liberalism movement, illuminating not only their ideas but also their distinctive personalities.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending June 12th, 2021… inflation hits a new 13-year high, homeowners make big gains in equity, and “The House that SHE Built” in Utah.Economic NewsWe begin with economic news from this past week. The latest inflation report shows another surge in consumer prices. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a .6% jump in the consumer price index last month. That puts the annual rate at a 13-year high of 5%. The core inflation rate, which excludes food and energy, also jumped .7% to a 29-year high of 3.8%. The Federal Reserve has assured Americans that these price increases are the result of a fast economic recovery, and will only be temporary. Some economists worry that the higher prices won't come back down, but as MarketWatch reports, the debate is expected to “play out over the next year.” (1)The number of people filing for unemployment continues to drop. The government reported just 376,000 new claims for the week ending June 5th. (2) The number of continuing claims also fell by another 258,000 to a total of 3.5 million. Combined with seven other state and federal programs, 15.34 million people are collecting checks. That's about half the number at the same time last year.While jobless claims went down, job openings shot up to a record high. The Labor Department says there were 9.3 million openings in April, which is about 1 million more than March, and about 5 million more than there were during the early months of the pandemic. (3) Employers say they are struggling to find people to fill open positions. A high number of people are also quitting their jobs. Economists say there are several reasons for this situation, including early retirement, trouble finding childcare, extra unemployment benefits, and fear of COVID.Consumers regained their confidence in the economy in June. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey shows a 4-and-a-half point increase to a reading of 86.4. That's after it hit a 13-month high in April, and then dropped in May. (4) Mortgage RatesMortgage rates were down slightly in the last week. Freddie Mac says the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage slipped 3 basis points to 2.96%. The 15-year was down 4 points to 2.23%. (5)In other news making headlines…$1.9 Trillion in New Homeowner EquityJune is National Homeowners Month, and U.S. homeowners have something to celebrate. (6) According to CoreLogic's latest Home Equity Report, homeowners with mortgages have enjoyed a 19.6% year-over-year increase in their equity. That represents an average yearly gain of $33,400 per homeowner, and a total gain of more than $1.9 trillion. (7)CoreLogic's chief economist, Dr. Frank Nothaft, says: “Double-digit home price growth in the past year has bolstered home equity to a record amount. This reduces the likelihood for a large number of distressed sales of homeowners to emerge from forbearance later in the year.” Instead of letting their homes go into foreclosure, they are more likely to sell their homes and pay off the loan.The first quarter report shows that loans with negative equity decreased 7% to 1.4 million homes. That's about 2.6% of all homes with a mortgage.Turkey Leads for Global Price GrowthHome prices around the globe have been rising at their fastest pace since 2006. A report from Knight Frank shows they were up 7.3% year-over-year in March. And the country at the top of that list is Turkey at around 32%. New Zealand is second with a 22% increase, and is followed by the U.S. and Sweden at 13%, Austria at 12%, and Canada at 11%. (8)Frank Knight says it is “not” a global boom, however, because many countries are seeing modest price growth, and four are seeing price declines. Home prices in Malaysia, Morocco, India, and Spain are down between about 1 and 2% year-over-year.“The House that SHE Built”The so-called “House the SHE Built” is making a debut at Utah's annual Parade of Homes. The 3,200-square foot custom-home was designed and built by an all-female construction team. It began as a local project in Sarasota Springs to encourage more women to take this career path, but grew into a national event that attracted women from across the country including engineers, designers, architects, landscapers, and skilled workers. Many provided the materials and the labor for free or at cost. (9)Proceeds from the sale of the home will be used in a number of ways to help women pursue a construction industry career. Some will go toward scholarships, while other funds will go toward charitable organizations geared to help women and educational events that teach young girls about home building opportunities.Check the show notes for links to further information about these stories at NewsForInvestors.com.Click here to join RealWealth now, it's free and only takes a minute!Links:1 - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/consumer-prices-soar-again-cpi-shows-and-shove-rate-of-inflation-to-a-13-year-high-116233286932 - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/jobless-claims-drop-to-post-pandemic-low-of-376-000-116233287723 - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u-s-job-opening-leap-to-record-9-3-million-but-hiring-lags-well-behind-11623161366?mod=economic-report4 - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u-s-consumer-sentiment-rebounds-in-june-11623421938?mod=economy-politics5 - http://www.freddiemac.com/pmms/#6 - https://www.builderonline.com/design/consumer-trends/housing-demand-remains-strong-as-the-industry-celebrates-national-homeownership-month_o7 - https://www.worldpropertyjournal.com/real-estate-news/united-states/irvine/real-estate-news-rising-home-equity-data-for-2021-corelogic-2021-housing-data-frank-martell-frank-nothaft-coronavirus-pandemic-impact-home-prices-in-2-12564.php8 - https://www.worldpropertyjournal.com/real-estate-news/turkey/istanbul-real-estate-news/real-estate-news-global-home-price-growth-in-q1-2021-knight-frank-global-home-price-index-for-2021-turkey-property-news-covid-pandemic-impact-on-globa-12556.php9 - https://www.builderonline.com/design/projects/all-female-built-home-makes-its-debut-at-utahs-annual-parade-of-homes_c

Allison Schrager: "The only insurance against uncertainty is resilience."

Is there a meaningful difference between risk and uncertainty? On the face of it, we might not think so; in casual usage, we could employ the words interchangeably. But some economists see an important distinction between the two. Early in the American experience of the pandemic, economist Allison Schrager wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal called “Risk, Uncertainty and Coronavirus” (paywall). “The novel coronavirus appears at first to be a problem of risk management,” she wrote. “It is a dangerous disease that threatens the lives of our neighbors and loved ones. Our response—increased social distancing, shutting down businesses—is aimed at reducing that risk. But the problem isn’t risk so much as uncertainty.” She goes on to explain that not long after the 1918 flu pandemic, another economist, Frank Knight, made a distinction between risk and uncertainty.  Schrager picks up there: The future is unknowable, but risk is measurable. It can be estimated using data, provided similar situations have happened before. Uncertainty, on the other hand, deals with outcomes we can’t predict or never saw coming. Risk can be managed. Uncertainty makes it impossible to weigh costs and benefits, such as whether reducing the spread of a virus is worth the cost of an economic shutdown that could last several months. The most responsible course of action is to assume the worst and take the most risk-averse position. Managing uncertainty is expensive: In markets, it means holding cash; in society, it means shutting down. Strong Towns president Chuck Marohn says he’s gone back to Schrager’s Wall Street Journal piece, as well as her other writing, numerous times throughout the pandemic. That’s why it’s a special pleasure to welcome her on this week’s episode of the Strong Towns podcast. Allison Schrager is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, author of the book An Economist Walks into a Brothel: And Other Places to Understand Risk, and cofounder of LifeCycle Finance Partners, LLC, a risk management firm. In this episode, Marohn and Schrager talk about that difference between risk and uncertainty, the tension between efficiency and adaptability, and whether people are geographically sorting during the pandemic based on risk preference. They discuss why meatpackers in Iowa were more prescient about the coronavirus than global finance experts in New York. And they discuss how local communities should be thinking about their own fragility. “The only insurance against uncertainty,” says Schrager, “is resilience.” Additional Shownotes “Risk, Uncertainty and Coronavirus,” by Allison Schrager (paywall) Allison Schrager at the Manhattan Institute An Economist Walks into a Brothel: And Other Places to Understand Risk, by Allison Schrager Allison Schrager (Twitter) Charles Marohn (Twitter)

Content (Spotify users can skip to the segment by clicking on the timestamp): The premise for the book: Frank Knight, Milton Friedman and the pendelum of probabilistic reasoning (1:20); It is "almost impossible to overstate" the influence of efficient market reasoning on economic and financial market models (4:02); Radical uncertainty: There is a great deal of information that cannot be realistically thought about probabilistically. Enter COVID-19 (8:20); What's an investor to do with this information? (10:15); Financial modeling has conflated risk, uncertainty, and volatility. They aren't the same thing (12:53); Time horizons and the importance of imagination. Humans are natural story tellers. This is more important than pure maths (20:24); Where does real estate fit?

Frank's journey to becoming an author is different than most author's today. When he decided to start writing, the kindle wasn't even around yet. He also didn't publish traditionally, so he overcame hurdles that we may not face today. His book - Veil of Eden - is a sci-fi, fantasy with political leanings. It was published over 10 years ago, yet he is now thinking of writing a sequel to it.

Are you better at managing uncertainty or risk? They are not the same thing, and we all gravitate toward one side of the spectrum. All leadership/management jobs are primarily about managing uncertainty or risk, and yet often we fail in careers and in business not because we are ineffective, but because they are mismatched to our strengths. In this episode we discuss: the difference uncertainty and risk as defined by the famous business thinker Frank Knight; Case studies of Aldi vs Kaufland and Tesla vs General Motors/Porsche; when to make projections (risk) and when to make predictions (uncertainty); how uncertainties can be quantified with big data and transformed into manageable risks; the trend toward uncertainty; a matrix comparing risk and uncertainty contexts for business management; and choosing careers and business opportunities that suit your risk/uncertainty strengths.

This week I was pleased to interview Rebekah Carver, a top producing real estate agent with Douglas Elliman.Bio:One of the distinguishing characteristics of Rebekah Carver's real estate career is that she has handled multiple transactions for so many of her clients. It's common to have some repeat business, but she has helped several clients buy their first property and then sell that to find them an even better property- helping them grow their homes right along with their lives. Rebekah's attention to detail, exceptional work ethic, and commitment to putting the customer's needs first are among the reasons that clients keep coming back, and sending her referrals.That warmth, passion, and authenticity can be traced back to her childhood, growing up in Montpelier, Vermont. Living in the state capitol, issues such as zoning and local politics were always part of the conversation.Carver was co-owner of Brooklyn Hearth Realty, a full service brokerage in 2006, she and her colleagues joined Douglas Elliman in June, 2017. After just six months at the company, Rebekah became the number 5 broker in Brooklyn. In 2018, she became the #1 broker for Brooklyn within the company. Rebekah's real estate skillset extend beyond the boundaries of Brooklyn to Manhattan, greater New York and overseas where Douglas Elliman partners with Frank Knight, a global real estate consulting firm.

In economics, there has always been a big debate about what drives economic growth. In the end, economists have assumed that positive “shocks” to an economy just kind of happen. However, there have been some thinkers who looked inside the black-box and focused on entrepreneurship. The three most interesting thinkers have to be Max Weber – known was his idea of the “Protestant Work Ethic”  , Joseph Schumpeter – famed for his concept of “Creative Destruction” and Frank Knight who worked on differentiating uncertainty from risk. I’ll elaborate on each on this podcast. I hope you find this helpful. You can subscribe to my podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Overcast, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

His project is covering the period from roughly 1870 – 1970. So far, the website features more than 750 artefacts, including documents from Joseph Schumpeter, Paul Samuelson, Robert Solow, Frank Knight, and many more well-known and lesser-known economists. Irwin’s website is a treasure for historians of economics, and a treasure that is still growing. The interview covers the motivation and aim of the project, some technical and archival topics, as well as some lessons on the development of economics from 1870–1970 that can be drawn from the project so far.

Bird watching in Retirement? Henry interviews Philip Jackson about Bird Watching in Retirement.  Phillip is an avid bird watcher (also known as “twitcher” in Australia).  He planned to pursue that interest when he retired from teaching. Phillip has actually retired twice.  Henry said he liked it so much he had to do it again.  Listen to the episode to find out how. Henry talked with him about how he managed his two retirements, how he supplements his income, and why he supplements his income now he has left full time work. But what Phillip really likes to do is bird watching in retirement.  Henry and Phillip talked about it and they discussed his retirement lifestyle: * Anyone can enjoy bird watching.  Novices can enjoy it as much as experienced people. * It is truly an activity for all ages, sexes and variety of people.  It doesn't matter if you are athletic, male or female.  The birds are there for everyone to enjoy. * Philip introduced us to the resources he uses to locate specific species, and the cataloging which he enjoys.  Of course cataloging is not mandatory to the hobby. * Bird watching is compatible with a great number of other activities which birders often run simultaneously.  For example, camping and photography are the two obvious ones, but some people come to the hobby from simply keeping a couple of pet budgies (parakeets) and developing the interest from there.  Some people start simply by gazing out their window at their bird feeder. Philip recommended a book for people interested in Australian history, but he couldn't quite remember the title.  Henry found it:  ‘Lost Relations: Fortunes Of My Family In Australia's Golden Age' by Graeme Hewett, published by Allen & Unwin. Other Books that were mentioned in the interview include: * ‘The Field Guide to the Birds of Australia' by Graeme Pizzey and Frank Knight * ‘Field Guide to Australian Birds' by Michael Morecombe Special Thanks to: * Angie Strehlow who helps us get great guests that help us with our retirement lifestyle while keeping everything on track * Les Briney who edits the show and makes my guests and me sound terrific * Lesinda Tubalado who helps keep the website up to date * Henry Shapiro, host of Retired Excited that airs on Fridays * YOU the listener for sharing on social media, and telling your friends about it
