After a strong finish in 2020 and very solid returns in 2021, we’ve seen a lot of market volatility so far in 2022. The S&P 500 index was down about 17.6% on a year-to-date basis as of Friday’s close. The combination of higher inflation, higher interest rates and the situation in Ukraine are all fueling this market volatility. Nobody can predict how long this will last.

This blog is not for the faint of heart. I am writing it because I’m sick of the BS narratives perpetrated by the financial media, a prime example being the Barron’s Top Advisor List. There are other nonsense financial advisor rankings such as Forbes and CNBC that I rip apart here too. I’m keeping a running tally of these BS advisor ranking lists and please let me know if there are any I am missing, I’ll put them on my hit list.

Finance teams are drowning in data—but is it actually helping them spend smarter? Without the right approach, excess spending, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities continue to drain profitability. While analytics offers powerful insights, financial intelligence requires more than just numbers—it takes the right blend of automation, strategy, and human expertise.

Inflation is now front and center in the minds of investors as domestic measures of consumer prices reach levels not seen in a generation: This is obviously a sea change for investors long accustomed to the benign inflationary environment that has prevailed with little interruption for several decades. Since I have written on the topic and its impact on financial assets on several different occasions I thought it would be worthwhile to revisit some of those ideas now that inflation has returned.

I have a thought I want you to pass on to your clients. Tell them this from me. The only people who lose weight are the people who hire trainers. People that buy equipment and put it in a house don't use the equipment. How many times have you seen a treadmill with a neck tie or a blouse hanging on it? You're the trainer. You make them do sit ups and you get them on the treadmill.

You probably noticed that things are very weird right now. The stock market is imploding but the economic data is still pretty okay. We're probably not in a recession right now, but the market is acting as if one is imminent. I was listening to Conor Sen and Derek Thompson today and Conor made a good point. During the GFC and the tech bust, we were already in a recession by the time the S&P 500 was in a bear market.
