Trump, Markets, Infrastructure and Other 2018 Mistakes
There’s merit in going back and seeing what we got wrong.
Bloomberg, January 4, 2019
I was wrong.
I find it helpful to say that occasionally. In fact, each year, I make a list of what I got wrong; I share publicly all the things I have written about where I was off, either a little or a whole lot. Publishing this list in the full light of day allows me to own my mistakes, recognizes our fallibility, and learn from the experience.
I have been doing this for about a decade. It is incredibly helpful to my “process;” hopefully, you may find some usefulness in it as well.
What was I wrong about last year?
1. Trump won’t hurt the stock market
2. Buying emerging markets
3. Infrastructure Improvements
4. Facebook’s role in the 2016 election
What was I quasi-wrong about last year?
1. Don’t be afraid of October
2. There’s nothing old about this bull market
3. Apple magazine cover indicator
