Here's a list of all the different threads I've written over my career with FinTwit. I wanted to make a thread of threads, so that it's easily accessible to most people, and so that I can look back on it a few years from now and see what I was thinking at 17. Here it is:

Nothing worse than the Canadian public transport system during a snowstorm… Like you’re in Canada the one thing you should be prepared to deal with is snow (if service gets cancelled have shuttle buses etc) TTC stands for take the car 😉

Sounds about right… and to be fair pre 2021 inflation, nobody really cared much about what the central bank said

BoJ playbook under Kuroda: When everyone is talking about it, nothing happens. When everyone isn't paying attention to it, massive things happen.

The US, Canada and western countries are unique in the fact that national identity isn’t defined by ethnicity, and still have immigration as a fix Meanwhile Korea, China, India…

When you think about it, a person born on Dec 31st always has their birthday “this year”, and never “next year”. Similarly if you’re born on Jan 1st, you always have your birthday next year…

Interesting take - can see how the increase in purchases can boost liquidity while not allowing the ceiling to be surpassed. Now what would be interesting here is to think about if Japanese rates traded without BoJ intervention, where would yields be?

Think of the BoJ’s increasing JGB purchases as seeking to minimize the risk of markets testing the new 50bps ceiling at the risk of aggravating the structural stress on the functioning of the government bond market Lots of research papers will be written on this policy experiment

A 🧵 on our work on US mortality change, just out in AEJ:App, with @thesamasher and @charlierafkin. We ask: how concentrated is the U.S. pre-Covid mortality crisis? Is everyone doing a little worse, or is a small subset doing catastrophically worse? The graph is a spoiler 1/N

If the real economy were that sensitive to the FCI we would have seen much more of an economic slowdown already. We've have a huge reduction in speculative froth, excess, and hubris already. Small moves from here won't matter much

Was interesting that the BoC held rates constant couple of weeks ago. With softer economic data will be interesting to see Powell hold. Expecting to see something like another 50bps and hold.
