The Stingy News Weekly: 07/27/2024 Stingy Links Lifestyle creep is mostly a myth "After reviewing the data, I can say that lifestyle creep doesn't seem to be a major issue for most people. In general, as households grow their income, they either spend less overall or increase their spending slightly over time. It's a small minority of households that truly 'creep' their spending upward. This doesn't mean that lifestyle creep doesn't exist, but that the fears of it are greatly exaggerated." [Thrift] That time of the market cycle "when we consider valuations and the drivers of this cycle, sustainability is not a word that comes to mind. Instead of a healthy economy and invincible bull market, we see conformity, the extrapolation of the unsustainable, and a top-heavy market risking losing control on the upside. We see 1999." [Markets] No slowing down "I thought I had my financial affairs in good order. But in the two months since my cancer diagnosis, I've made countless financial tweaks, mostly with a view to making things easier after my death for my wife Elaine and my two children." [Retirement] You cannot cut your way to profitability "A former colleague of mine who covered bank stocks likes to say that banks cannot cut their way to profitability. In my view this applies not just to banks but to every high-tech manufacturer and most services companies. In other words, most of our modern economy. You cannot cut costs to become more profitable. You can only invest your way to profitability." [Management] Negative trading in congress "We investigate negative trading, such as short selling, by members of Congress. We find, based on a new comprehensive dataset of trades by members of Congress, that negative trading not only is common, but also is associated with positive abnormal financial returns. Simply put, members of Congress's bets on stock price drops make money." [Government] S&P/TSX60 Value Screens
