Finding quality content
For more than two years now, I’ve written a new post every single day where 99% of the content was my own. While some of that content comes from my own ideas or curiosities, many of the topics are inspired by current events or things that I’m reading. In fact, I started writing because I had read so many articles over the years that I eventually felt like there was a gap between what I had learned, what I wanted to read about, and what existed - so I had to create my own articles with my own analysis to fill that void.
That being said, there is probably more high-quality analysis out there than ever and Endless Metrics is just one source of content floating out on the web. While I like to think that I can cover everything (hence the “Endless” part of the name), it’s simply impossible. To augment my analysis then, I’m going to try a new thing where I add links to good stuff I’ve been reading along with a short summary.
To be honest, this kind of exercise is almost an entirely new job in itself! There is a barrage of information being published on a daily basis and it takes time to sift through the noise for the signal. I pretty much do it anyway though, so maybe this will be helpful for anyone out there who just wants a few links to the good stuff. So, here goes:
Who Needs Who?
“Yes, Xi did say that the invasion "Is not something we want to see," which I guess sounds good, but I'm not sure it indicates that China will change its behavior…The one thing I hear a lot, especially in the bullish conversations lately, is that "They" need "Us" more than "We" need "Them." Whether it is innate American exceptionalism coming through, or something else, I am not sure that those statements are true. What China needs, Russia has, and vice versa!”

5 predictions for the housing market in 2022
“The combination of rising interest rates and rising house prices will push some would-be buyers out of the market, which may result in reduced competition after the summer buying season is over. The National Association of Realtors, which surveyed more than 20 top economic and housing experts, predicts housing prices are expected to climb 5.7% through the end of 2022 … and home price growth will begin to more closely track inflation.”
