Things Brad Has Built
I built this for my kids in the backyard. It was definitely a hit.
During the COVID shut-down, I decided to remodel our closet (despite basically no experience whatsoever doing anything of the sort / no construction experience). It turned out pretty well!
Some of Brad’s Thoughts on the Stock Market
- Market timing is possible (occasionally) by measuring the aggregate open market purchasing activity of market insider.
- (Published 6/19/2022) The S&P 500 is likely a buy at 3,670, as an abnormal number of market insiders purchased shares of their own companies’ stocks.
- The yield curve can forecast more than just recessions; it can also forecast times of extremely low market risk.
