Financial Symmetry: Cluing You In To Financial Opportunities Missed By Most People
2020 certainly took us on a wild ride. To say the least, it was an interesting year financially. But there is a lot we can learn from this crazy year. In this episode, we are reflecting on the investment lessons we learned over the past year. What were the lessons you took away in 2020? Listen in to hear if there are any other lessons you can learn from the year Optimists make better investments than pessimists Historically, the S&P 500 returns 8-10% per year. Since markets go up in the long term, people who focus on the long-term growth of the stock and bond markets, as well as the growth of the economy, will prosper. This lesson was put to the test in March of 2020 when we had the shortest bear market in history. Investors that stuck it out profited greatly. From March 23 to the end of 2020 the market went up an astonishing 68%. Since no one has a crystal ball, buying in a bear market can be scary. This is why we recommend having an investment plan or a rules-based process in place. If you lost sleep over or sold stocks during the decline then you need to reassess your asset allocation. How did you fare in the market decline? Were you an optimist or pessimist? Did you stick to your investment plan and wait it out? Listening to the media is expensive These days, the markets move at lightning speed. At this velocity, people often feel like they need to stay on top of all the latest financial news. However, listening to the financial media can hinder your ultimate goal. The media’s job is to sell advertising, not to help you reach your financial goals. Even if all the uncertainty drives you crazy, step away from the sensationalist news. The number one predictor of long-term investment success is investment behavior, so teach yourself the discipline not to act on every little thing you hear on the news. Turn off your notifications and guard your time instead. Watch out for fads We all hear the rags to riches stories about the latest fads. Raise your hand if you have a friend who has struck it rich with Bitcoin lately. These stories can be so powerful, however, no one ever talks about the downside. FOMO (fear of missing out) is real and we often want to jump on the latest bandwagon, whether it be Bitcoin, gold, or whatever the new shiny thing is. At the end of the day, the value of what you own is only what someone else is willing to pay you. If you still want to jump on the latest bandwagon understand your motive and think about the impact of your investment on your financial plan.

It is believed that many cases of child abuse, including physical and sexual abuse and neglect, could be the dark figure of crime during the COVID-19 pandemic, with many mandated reporters being denied the usual access and observation they have during “normal times.” Since the coronavirus pandemic and associated national shutdowns began in early 2020, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has seen a drastic spike in the number of cases and reports of child sexual abuse materials online and online grooming of children. From March through December, NCMEC received 21 million CyberTipline reports, which is up from 18 million for the whole of 2019. “We see a correlation between the pandemic and people being homebound and connected on mobile devices,” says NCMEC President and CEO John F. Clark. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with John Clark about the work of NCMEC, which serves as the nation's clearinghouse and comprehensive reporting center for all issues related to the prevention of and recovery from child victimization.

The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc across broad swathes of the Canadian economy. The consequences of the current recession are complex and overlapping and range from widespread job losses to a prolonged contraction of the country’s economy. Experts on the Hill and in the private sector have pointed to the vital role that infrastructure investment must play in Canada’s economic recovery plan. But it has to be smart. Stakeholders must pay attention to environmental and social considerations at every stage of project development. Now is the chance to create a bold new vision for Canadian Infrastructure investment. Last week, Senior Producer Duncan Cooper sat down with Michael Sabia - veteran infrastructure executive and current Director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy - to discuss these issues and chart a course forward for Canada’s recovery. From March 2009-January 2020, Michael Sabia served as President and CEO of the Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ), where he oversaw its strategic direction and global growth.

From March to November, the number of total users and creators on OnlyFans, a subscription-based content sharing platform, nearly tripled. The app's rapid popularity is continuing to change conversations about sex media and sex workers' rights. Here, Megan Ixim, 29, a content creator and fat activist, talks about watching her OnlyFans blow up during quarantine. As told to Griffin Wynne. I first heard about OnlyFans from fellow sex-positive creators, who described it as an online platform that didn't police their bodies. I've been a sex-positive content creator on Instagram for years, having open conversations with my community about sex, queerness, and kink, but I felt like I wasn't allowed the representation that I wanted. I wanted to post the great art I was making, have it protected, and make money off of it. After months of contemplation, I created an account during the first week of lockdown. I was stuck at home with zero income, unable to run my dog-walking and pet sitting business remotely. I've worked really hard to see myself as more than just my body. Also, because of stigma, I was a little afraid for my “professional” stakes. But I realized there was nothing wrong with profiting off of myself and people who are looking for that kind of content. Now, my biggest regret is that I didn't start earlier. My "blow up" was almost immediate. I had 50 subscribers after the first month, and I average around 120-130 monthly subscribers now. I charge $15 a month for entry and then offer exclusive content or one-on-one interactions for additional prices. I’m earning in the top 2% of all creators right now. People don't realize that OnlyFans isn't a marketplace — you have to bring in your own traffic. I had people waiting for that kind of access to me, so I was set up to do OK, but I still spend hours every week promoting my account on Whisper, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram. In the beginning, I was constantly checking, updating, taking new photos, and getting people engaged. It became so stressful, obsessive, and time-consuming, I had to set a schedule. Now, I check my messages twice a day and set up times on the weekends to shoot a bunch of content to share throughout the week. The monthly subscription gets people in the door, but the real profits come from tips and exclusive content. Creators decide what kind of content to make and how much to charge. I went for the access-approach: offering subscribers behind-the-curtain content at a high price. On my main page, I post a lot of lingerie photoshoots and content showing off my sex toys. I can charge more for sexually explicit stuff, so I don't post a lot of it there. A lot of my big spenders just want to feel like they’re a part of my life and that I care about theirs. Creators call it the "girlfriend experience," engaging with your subscribers as though you're dating them, via direct messages, videos, and voice messages. It's all about building personal relationships and having actual conversations with your fans — tuning in, listening, and discussing things that may seem trivial, like favorite TV shows or dream vacations. I think my biggest selling attribute on OnlyFans is my personality, and the girlfriend experience gives that a place to shine. I’m an understanding and nurturing person. But obviously, that’s emotionally taxing, which is why OnlyFans is great — it lets me give out love and actually get something back in return. The girlfriend experience isn't inherently sexual, but it can be. I love taking photos that make subscribers feel like they're getting nudes from their girlfriend. Those "Hey, I'm thinking about you” photos create an attainable fantasy. I'm all about attainable luxury in my personal life, so it makes sense I like creating attainable fantasy in my work. I make sure that my subscribers know that it's a privilege to have access to me. This is labor. In my bio, I set specific prices and guidelines for what behavior I will and will not accept from subscribers. I don't accept unsolicited nudes. Unless they tell me they're sending a nude picture and include a tip with it, I won't open the message. At first, I was nervous to tell my dog-walking clients or the people I freelance for about the nature of my work. That fear sadly came to fruition. An acquaintance told mutual friends that she couldn't believe I was “that kind” of person, and an old freelance boss said she's received “interesting responses” from my references: “She’s brilliant, but she shows her body on the internet,” and, "Are you OK with having your brand associated with that?” When I receive backlash or negativity from people, I talk to them head-on and make it clear that there's nothing wrong with having an OnlyFans or doing any kind of sex work. When I first started, I didn't connect my business and personal social media accounts. But now, this is who I am, and this is what I do. My OnlyFans doesn't impact your dog at all. I want clients that know me and accept me. I would feel a disservice to myself to work for someone that thought negatively of OnlyFans. At the peak of the pandemic, OnlyFans was my main source of income. I have a bachelor's degree in marketing with a minor in accounting, and it felt like my education really paid off. Investing in myself and being successful as a result helped me get through a really difficult time — the money has been a bonus. Interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Welcome to Finance and Fury. This episode – be looking at one of the simplest ways to potentially generate alpha and outperform the broader market It’s been a decade since financial markets have become increasingly centrally-planned by central banks and with this - disconnected from fundamentals Hence – traditional analysis of shares based around their fundamentals may not provide outperformance – however – I think it is still important to understand which are good companies to buy into Looking at fundamentals and understanding these and their implications in the broader sense can be hard – takes many years to learn But what if there is an even simpler strategy to beat the market and generate alpha? That is where there is one interesting strategy from some quants – released an article called "Can quants make money by tracking the Fed books?" Runs through trading alongside the Fed's balance sheet – as this seems to be the dominant price setter in markets Been talking about this emergence in a few episodes recently – but interesting that some quant traders are now implementing this Looking at the influence the Fed has had on share prices - Monetary policy has the ability to influence asset prices – a lot of evidence that low interest rates and accompanying expansionary in monetary supply creates rallies in assets with risk - monetary contractions can create market retreats been more obvious since the GFC - market reactions appear to have become increasingly aligned and dependent on central bank actions – especially that of the Fed This is in part due to policies such as QE – as well as forward guidance from CBs – with statements like to the effect of supporting markets by any means necessary – increasing speculation and the dive head first into those assets that will be supported In 2008 – the total assets on the Fed balance sheet have expanded from $2.3tn to about $7tn today – this is a growth rate of over 200% Over the same time - S&P 500 rose from 900 to about 3,300 -growth of about 270% Over the shorter term – this year specifically – From March the Fed was sitting on about $4.7tn and this has grown to the previously mentioned $7tn figure – a growth of about 48% the S&P 500 over the same period has returned about 42% There is definitely a correlation here – but there is likely a causal relationship as well due to the flow of money into the markets that comes with the Feds balance sheet expanding – injecting liquidity as they would call it But how predictable are asset returns based on prior Fed action and can this be used as a tool to outperform the market? Technically – Fed policies have to be transparent – hence they can be market-moving – if traders are paying attention – so there is likely a first mover advantage here – Looking at what the quants wrote as their trading strategy – or what they are looking at - simply following the Fed They first go through the observation of the correlated movements between markets and the balance sheet of the Fed – have many charts showing the relationship between the growth of the Fed balance sheet and a variety of risk assets They note that the sheer scale of unconventional monetary policy does seem to have also made asset returns more predictable, and performance appears increasingly contingent on central bank actions. This provides a potential opportunity for investors. Fed has committed to maintain its asset purchase programmes “at least at the current pace to sustain smooth market functioning”, and with ultra-low rates expected to at least until 2023, according to the Fed, it is clear these unconventional monetary policies are going to remain a key driver of markets for some time. The quants note introduces a simple tactical alpha strategy that uses the growth of the Fed balance sheet to measure the degree to which monetary expansion is supporting risk-asset rallies The strategy - implemented in the context of the classic long-only equity/cash decision (buying and selling shares) – “provides supportive evidence of market predictability and the potential to utilize measures of unconventional monetary policies in designing systematic strategies” This means that to outperform the market – you can follow the growth of the feds balance sheet – as they note based around their simulations – doing so “generates a sizable outperformance with a reasonable success rate" Important to point out that this model is illustrative - provides a framework to extend to analogous risk -on/-off They did run some observations on if the relationship between the Fed causal beyond what is correlated – presented the correlation of weekly growth in total Fed balance sheet assets with lagged and subsequent returns of the S&P 500 index – what they found: “The negative correlation between lagged stock market performance and current growth in Fed assets (left-hand chart) means that stock market declines increase the likelihood of Fed action in the form of balance sheet expansion. On the other hand, the positive correlation between subsequent stock market performance and current Fed asset growth means that Fed balance sheet expansion leads to positive stock market performance. The impact of Fed asset growth on equity markets lasts, on average, for the subsequent four weeks.” “Consistent with economic priors, balance sheet expansion leads to stronger positive market returns, and our analysis shows that this lasts for up to four weeks, following the policy change, with a peak observed at three weeks. On the other hand, and contrary to expectations, Fed balance sheet contractions are also followed, on average, by market rebounds, although the strength of these correlations were much weaker in the initial three weeks, with a stronger bounce on the four-week mark.” So there appears to be a small announcement effect initially – but then the market reaction appears gradual – peaking at the 4 week mark Could be for a number of reasons – information delay – through to it taking 4 weeks for the liquidity to hit equities – through the purchases being in the Fixed Interest markets and for those on the secondary market to turn around and use the funds to buy shares – or it could be the impact on the lowering costs of capital for companies pushing up the valuations – whatever the reason – there is a lag Can these observations be traded – this isn’t advice – but general in nature – based around what the evidence shows The Quants design of investment strategy considers the distinctive lead-lag correlations between Fed expansion and Fed contraction – so they designed a weekly tactical alpha strategy based on Fed asset growth that aims to boost investment returns by selectively overweighting riskier assets during Fed monetary expansion regimes. To that end, the quants used weekly Fed balance sheet data over the period of 2009 and Sep. 2020 – a period of intensive use of unconventional monetary policy tools The strategy consists of using a classic equity-cash allocation with the goal of generating excess returns by systematically tilting towards risk opportunistically following expansionary monetary policy In the illustration – they used a long-only portfolio with a strategic allocation of 75/25 between equity and cash – their evidence showed that the impact of Fed asset growth lasts on average for four weeks with the lead-lag correlation to cumulative S&P returns peaking at around the fourth week. The input to the strategy is the weekly growth rate in the Fed total assets, and the strategy seeks to allocate more to equities (from safe asset holdings) during periods of monetary easing as reflected in the growth in Fed assets. the performance of this simple tactical tilting strategy shows that they would have been able to provide annualized excess returns of 2.5% So based around these models – it appears to work – can it continue working? If it is implemented correctly – and assuming that the causal relationship is due to the spill over effects from programs like QE or corporate bond purchases But there is no denying that the Feds movements do now move markets – the quant strategy implemented in the context of a long-only equity/cash portfolio provides some evidence of the potential to utilize the Fed as a partner in generating returns – if they are going to expand the money supply and this is going to flow into risk assets – like shares – why not follow? The Quant simulation generates a sizable outperformance with a reasonable success rate What else should we expect in the financial world where trillions of additional dollars from the expands of the Fed balance sheet have the ability to flow into shares once they are loosed into financial markets This being said - the Fed balance sheet-tracking strategy probably shouldn’t be the sole investment strategy that people use – Important to remember goals and look at your own risk tolerances and the point of investing But it could be useful as an overlay - given the massive numbers of other factors that affect markets and their performances - the Fed balance sheet strategy could also be blended with other trading decisions Thank you for listening to today's episode.

From March 21st to June 5th, I went radio silent with the podcast. COVID-19 had shut down the world, and I chose not to advertise the fact I continued hiking. During this time, Ellie Oberink and I hiked 1000 miles together. She joins me today for a conversation recapping and reliving our three months venturing from Georgia to Pennsylvania. Thanks again to Steve for having me as a guest on “Mighty Blue on the Appalachian Trail”.

This episode of the LIFT NOURISH & THRIVE podcast is all about talking to our significant others about our weight loss goal. The need for support, feeling like we have to talk to them about investing in a program, or something that we want. It’s a common struggle many women experience, and I have, too. & because of this, many women are held back from FULLY reaching their weight loss goals. “ I have to talk to my husband”. This is mostly said before a woman, or potential client, decides to invest into my coaching to not only help them lose weight, but learn the tools needed to keep it off. While the finance talk with our husbands are VERY real, trust me, I know. From March when COVID hit until June, we lived off my husbands salary alone, after I was furloughed from my Exercise Physiologist/Physical Therapy Assistant Position. Yes, I still had my coaching business but at the time, it was not replacing my income from that job. It sucked. Shit was HARD. & we're still navigating through it. BUT....This episode will teach you how to navigate this challenging topic with more ease.
