Tailwinds: for investors with a 30-year horizon. 

For Warsh:

The 2022 stock market crash was primarily driven by the Federal Reserve’s most aggressive interest rate-hiking campaign since the 1980s to combat 40-year high inflation.

Things I've learned along the way:

  • never quit reading;
  • stay fully invested -- but be smart about it -- follow the rules; 
  • have a very long horizon.
