I’m reading a great little book called The Practice Of Not Reacting: Zen Wisdom For A Happy Life by Ryushun Kusanagi. The publisher is Portfolio Penguin, the same publisher for my 2027 book, Your Children Will Be OK. One of the core concepts is that all of us want to be recognized for our contributions. At work, at home, at school, by our own parents. When the recognition doesn’t come, we feel disappointed and bitter. But Buddhism believes that desire itself is the source of all suffering, and the desire to be recognized is just one form of it. Let go of the…

U.S. insurance stocks have been doing quite well since the beginning of May 2026, and they have materially outperformed the overall market. I’m using the May 1 close through the September 3 close so that we compare complete trading days; these are price changes, excluding dividends. The cleanest broad measure is the iShares U.S. Insurance ETF (IAK), which covers U.S. life, property and casualty insurers. It rose from $132.01 on May 1 to $147.87 on September 3: +12.0%. An alternative, more equal-weighted measure, the SPDR S&P Insurance ETF (KIE), rose from $56.79 to $64.80: +14.1%. For comparison, the S&P 500…

    Heading out the door for the Labor Day weekend, with blue skies and 85° temperatures, I had to share a chart. It’s from the San Francisco Federal Reserve (via Torsten Slok of Apollo) and shows Wall Street expectations for Federal Reserve rate action. It’s the perfect explainer for why forecasts tend to be so inaccurate. As you can see, as recently as February 2026, market participants expected a series of ongoing rate hikes—a simple extrapolation from the prior trend. Then the war began sending food and energy prices higher. But the Middle Eastern adventure was promised to be…

Tesla, SpaceX, xAI… Luke Lango studied them all. What he found points to a far bigger opportunity. Listen to the audio version of this article (generated by AI). Editor’s Note: Elon Musk has big new plans for a major part of the AI industry. It’s the sort of epic strategic shift we’ve gotten used to from Musk.
