April 6, 2024 | Learn from Shawn O’Malley & Matthew Gutierrez what it’s been like creating and writing for We Study Markets, who their biggest influences have been, how they structure their own portfolios, what an average day is like for a newsletter writer, and what future plans they have to offer more value to our readers.
Good News Is Good!
April 5, 2024 | “Good news is good news!” again. That’s Bloomberg’s Joe Weisenthal commenting on how Friday’s blowout jobs report spurred an upward swing in stocks.

Circle The Wagons
March 30, 2024 | Off we go with Mohnish Pabrai’s 2023 presentation at the University of Nebraska, cool charts, and more in 2 minutes to read.
Thinking Fast and Slow
March 28, 2024 | Rest in peace to an economics icon: Dr. Daniel Kahneman, the Nobel Prize winner who wrote Thinking Fast and Slow and upended economics, died this week at 90.
Easy Come, Easy Go
September 13, 2024 | Americans could use housing relief. Many renters (about half) spend 30% or more of their income on housing, and the housing market is coming off its worst spring season in 12 years.

September 11, 2024 | Generative artificial intelligence has driven soaring valuations and investor optimism. Companies invest billions of dollars in the technology, hoping it will one day lead to enormous profits. But when?
Heavier Wallets
September 9, 2024 | Americans have more money in the bank than in 2019, adjusted for inflation, and slightly less credit-card debt relative to income. To better understand this economic moment, let’s break down what the American wallet looks like right now.
