SS 122: What Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) Teaches Us About the Bible & Real Estate

Rabbi Evan Moffic leads the show today discussing how a comic strip creator can teach us things about ourselves that the bible tries to show us and that can help us in our investing. Many of us have certain beliefs in what kind of people we are and how we react in various situations, but they don’t hold true. Rabbi Moffic explains how we can set our lives in a way that we can respond in ways that are consistent with our beliefs, not just in an instictual lashing out.

Key Takeaways:

[5:51] We think we’re rational and understanding of our situation, but we’re wrong, and the bible understands that

[8:53] The best investors have systems and rules in place to prevent their emotions from taking over

[13:07] Fear is an enormously powerful motivator

[17:31] We don’t have any literal slaves in the United States anymore, but many of us are slaves to something in our lives, whether it’s our job, our possessions or something else

[22:58] Have a system/philosophy rather than a goal

Predicting Inflation for 2011

JasonHartman.comThe general price level in 2010 relative to 2009 shows average price levels that are nearly flat. The reason for this trend is significant commodity price increases in 2007 and 2008 that collapsed after the global financial crisis. Much of the reason for the price volatility in commodities is leveraged buying and selling through hedge funds that drove prices up during the bubble and precipitated a price crash after the bubble collapsed as many entities were simultaneously deleveraging their positions. To demonstrate this phenomenon, we have graphed the Consumer Price Index for Urban residents (CPI-U), Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (PPI-FG) and Producer Price Index for All Commodities (PPI-AC) from 1995 up to the present time.
