Mission

Our mission is to help readers be better citizens and investors by understanding structural trends in the economy, financial markets, and politics. We take a historical perspective and favor patient long-term investment in high quality growth companies.  Though closely attuned to day-to-day developments, we eschew the ephemeral trivia that predominates in the financial press.  We do not provide investment advice; please see  the disclaimer.  We recommend that readers use the blog in conjunction with the services of a financial advisor, preferably one with strong equity research capabilities.
