My self managed accounts beat most of the Ivies endowments last year and even over 3 years. I keep waiting for a call asking me to take over. what salary should I ask for?
One of the posters below states that the US has been successful because of ”our ability to innovate, our rule of law, and lack of capital constraints”I do not disagree but by any measure at least the first two factors have been destroyed by this administration. I can list the hundreds of habeas cases the current DOJ is telling judges to Get lost on( using a family safe term) just since January 1, the selling of pardons and influence to the highest bidder etc and the DOJ active surveillance of anyone who disagrees with Trump as concrete examples that the Rule of Law no longer applies.In addition to the hundreds of millions of canceled scientific research grants, 16 of 27 heads of NIH institutes are vacant, because the incompetent hack who runs the NIH ( a health economist who has never done any medical research) is dancing to the tune of political operatives who appoint the VP friends. These hacks now have final say over funding research. At the same time the world does not trust our word or commitments anymore. Even with a dramatic election, they know the US is only one bad election away from returning to this dark time. People who think any of this is positive for the long term health of US stocks, or that it can be easily undone are mistaken.
