You start out feeling you have infinite time, then suddenly you feel you don't have enough. The reason is that time spent / time remaining grows hyperlinearly.

A cardiologist wanted to understand the effect of "normal" interest rates (~3-5%) on speculative assets.
It is like blood pressure. The effect is not acute, but silent, cumulative, and, eventually, irreversible.

Year end makes many people reflective and zoom out to look at their life and choices.

It maybe useful to do this every month and not wait for year end if one wishes faster iteration in themselves.

Freedom from your reflexive and compulsive actions.

Here’s where the sharpest brains on Wall Street predicted the S&P 500 would end 2022:

BMO - 5,300
Wells Fargo - 5,200
Goldman Sachs - 5,100
JP Morgan - 5,050

Today it’s 3,854 - not one of them came close.

Pay zero attention to next year’s predictions.

No one’s got a clue.
