European governments have seized over 20 billion dollars’ worth of cash, real estate, and other valuables in the past month as the result of sanctions targeted at wealthy Russian individuals with connections to the kremlin.
I know you have probably all been enjoying this news as much as I have, after all it’s hard to feel bad for billionaires who needed 450 feet of floating compensation, but we still need ask, what happens to these assets now? Do they just go to the governments that took them or will they eventually be given back to their owners?

In 2008 Warren Buffett made a bet for 1 million dollars that a hand selected group of hedge funds could not outperform the S&P 500 Index over a ten year period.
In 2018, Buffett won the bet, and went home an extra million dollars richer (which I am sure was a very big deal for him)
This exposed a big flaw in the investment industry which is that actively managed funds and in particular hedge funds struggle to outperform the general market.
When fees are considered there is only a handful of funds that have returned money to their investors in excess of what they would have received had those investors just taken a more traditional investment approach.

Business ethics has become a big business in its own right. It’s grown from a fringe issue that some small time alternative CEO’s might mention in passing, to a corporate staple that has its own course in ninety percent of the business schools in America. Major companies now mix in ethical initiatives with their earnings reports and there are even dedicated research centers dedicated to studying how companies can solve all of the world's problems with some combination of acronyms. DEI, CSR, ESG, TBL… whatever your favourite is, they are all guidelines for how the world's most powerful companies can look out for something other than their own free cash flow…
So then, why is this the second worst idea in business history? Corporate social responsibility or ethical business, whatever you want to call it, it should be an easy idea to sell. You probably don’t like it when companies pollute your home, take your money with deceptive practices or lobby your government to spend your tax money on their bailouts. But operating ethically in business often comes at the expense of acting profitably, and company leadership who answers exclusively to their shareholders, will be forced into picking profits over ethics. Corporate social responsibility therefore is all about showing company managers, their boards and their shareholders that there is a way everybody can win, and that ethics and profit don’t have to be at odds with one another. It’s a message that’s catching on.
It’s understandable that investors would like their money going towards companies that are (at the very least) TRYING to do the right thing, but unfortunately not many people really understand how these investments work, or how they could actually be making these problems a lot worse.
So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why corporate ethics, is the second worst idea in business history.

How much money would you need to buy the American Dream?
Not how much would you need to make in order to afford the REPAYMENTS on the American Dream… how much would you need to buy the house, the two cars, the family and a basic vacation every year?
Probably a lot more than you have, right?
I know it’s not going to blow your mind to find out that these (supposedly) vital ingredients to a good life have gotten kind of expensive… but it has reached a tipping point.
The American Dream is not dead, so much as it’s an extreme luxury that in many parts of the country can now cost as much as TEN MILLION DOLLARS to afford… that’s more than most of us will ever earn in our lifetimes BEFORE taxes, interest payments and basic essentials like… food…
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but holding onto the traditional financial wisdom of what you AUGHT to have in life is now permanently out of reach for most people and as more Americans realize this, it’s fundamentally reshaping our economy…
According to data from the US Fed and the Census compiled in the Cas Shiller Index, the average cost of a home in the US is now more than seven point six times [7.6X] median COMBINED household incomes.
That’s now significantly higher than it was in the leadup to the Global Financial Crisis, an economic meltdown enabled by… housing speculation.
If you think that’s bad, spare a though for the UK, which has lower wages but similarly priced homes or Canadians who according to data compiled by financial samurai have on average ten percent less [10%] less disposable income but live in houses SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT [75%] more expensive
New mortgage rates are also at the highest point they have been since 2000, when home prices were only four times household income.
The average person even IF they have a full-time working partner cannot reasonably afford to purchase an average home at current prices with current interest rates without paying more than HALF of their BEFORE TAX income in INTEREST.
That’s before principal repayments on the loan, and before income tax. In reality, the average bank wouldn’t even write this mortgage because it would be financially irresponsible.
So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why it might be time to let go of the American Dream…

Rich people didn’t get rich by paying a lot of taxes and for some of them avoiding uncle Sam has become their favourite pastime.
Say what you will about billionaires, but they can be a very creative bunch where their money is concerned.
Last year ProPublica a non-profit investigative journalism organisation was leaked a cache of IRS files that contained tax information about the richest people in America.
Dozens of journalists and forensic accountants were able to reverse engineer a number of systems that the billionaires used to pay much lower rates of income tax than most regular working Americans.
