Foreword

This is a quick note, which tends to be just off the cuff thoughts/ideas that look at current market situations, and to try to encourage some discussions.

Adam Taggart is out with a fantastic interview with Grant Williams.

As usual, a reminder that I am not a financial professional by training — I am a software engineer by training, and by trade. The following is based on my personal understanding, which is gained through self-study and working in finance for a few years.

If you find anything that you feel is incorrect, please feel free to leave a comment, and discuss your thoughts.

Grant Williams

Grant Williams is the author of “Things That Make You Go Hmmm…”, which discusses interesting phenomena in finance over time.

In this interview, Grant talks about what he expects in the near-term future, the phenomenon such as the meme stock craze, crypto, etc.

In particular, at the 58m 52s mark, he talks about something dear and close to my heart — the differences between investing and speculating. Something which, it seems, many younger “investors” should really understand.
