Understanding the Real Economy

Key Takeaways:

1. Understanding the differentiation between the real economy (true value and productivity) and the financial economy (speculation and monetary manipulation).
2. In a perfect world scenario, productivity gains would equate to the interest rates that investors receive, with no additional risk.
3. The importance of investing in the new economy—areas that are aligned with the current and future trends of innovation and progress.
4. The government's role through debt growth and its impact on the financial market and investment strategies.
5. The value of conviction and the holding of investments through volatility in order to realize gains in the longer term.
