This Week on The Compound

OUTSIDE THE COMPOUND

Per Kalshi, it looks like Time Magazine will name Donald Trump its ‘Man of the Year.’ Instead, they should look elsewhere, degenerates. This week on WAYT? Josh and Michael examined the performance of a ‘Degen Dow.’ Howard Lindzon has been tracking, as he calls it, the degenerate economy for a while now. This week in the WSJ, Katherine Hamilton highlights the young men's motives driving this wave of speculation. Hamilton writes:

Some of these investors say they are laying a foundation, however risky, to attain traditional goals, such as saving for retirement or a home, survey data from financial education company Noyack shows. Speculative investing doubles as a form of entertainment, thanks to smartphone trading and online forums of bootstrap investors. Users flaunt big wins, teasing financial prosperity that otherwise seems unreachable, especially for the growing number of young men who believe they face economic barriers.
