You have a journey to make. You need to head west 15 miles as the crow flies over a mountain ridge, and then go 15 miles down the valley on the other side. So you head out for a drive.Image by&

Here’s a hard truth about modern society. We don’t practice Capitalism anymore. Rather, for the last 40 years we’ve been conducting a horrific experiment called “neoliberalism”. And we’re near the terminal point in that experiment, a stage I’ve been calling metastatic market
Guys. Nobody is trying to radicalize us. There is no conspiracy here. Everything can be explained by the following observation: 🔥Radicalization is the most profitable business model on earth, practiced by the most profitable companies on earth.🔥 Look no further.

Catch-24 You need a rational well-functioning mind to run for president If your mind is slipping, you should withdraw from the race You must have a rational well-functioning mind to realize you should withdraw from the race, therefore you should continue to run for president.

there’s an equity risk premium because if there wasn’t everyone would take a riskless rate which would then lower demand for equities, once again creating an equity risk premium

It depends on how the ERP pays the “Premium”. I believe the book says it’s paid in arithmetic return. However the long term compound returns trend toward the the lower geometric return. If EM has higher volatility than DM (probably true), vol drag closes return gap long term.
Solve me this riddle: EM equities are riskier than DM equities. The books say that ERP must be higher for EMs than for DMs, so the long term returns "must" be higher. And yet $EEM is unch since 2007. Either the price is wrong, or ERP theory is wrong. Don't know

"Conventional diversification analysis focuses on annualized standard deviation […], but long-term investors eventually care about compound terminal wealth. When we focus on terminal wealth, we find that many conventional wisdoms concerning diversification no longer hold."
@RoniIsraelov @choffstein @GestaltU @CliffordAsness Here is a more detailed blog post, where I derive and test a model explaining relative terminal wealth difference between less than perfectly diversified portfolio and fully diversified benchmark for randomly selected equally weighted portfolios.

Long-term investors measure growth rate, but eat compound wealth. We introduce the four determinants of portfolio’s terminal wealth difference to benchmark & probability of losing to benchmark. Compounding materializes the importance of diversification. https://t.co/FxaGhProd4

If I got @breakingthemark's post right, portfolio rebalancing (dark green line below the red arithmetic average) lessens the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality "gap" (aka volatility drag), thus making the geometric avg more ergodic.
