Every growing economy needs more debt somewhere in the system, either from private borrowing or from a bigger government deficit. The US budget deficit is growing, and the US economy is running at roughly 2.75% real growth. That is not a coincidence.

This week's Signals & Noise looks at why we think the debate has it backwards, leveraged property speculation gets a free pass while productive government spending gets blamed for every problem. We also break down the one heuristic that actually explains property prices, and a Black Swan warning worth taking seriously from Nassim Taleb's own business partner.

We take $1,000 through every complete bull-and-bear cycle since 1877 to show what a full cycle actually pays an investor, and it is a very different number to the one you usually see quoted. Also in this issue: the private credit cracks we...
Doubt is not pleasant, but certainty is absurd | Signals and Noise, August 28
  Access Newsletter  This week's Signals & Noise is up, built around a line from Voltaire: "Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd." We look at why getting comfortable with uncertainty is the actual skill in investing, not chasing a forecast. Also in this issue: a rare, detailed note from a member working inside private lending on how opaque that corner of the credit market ...
