My guest this week is Mark Dow. Mark started his career as an economist with the US Treasury and the IMF before he joined Wall Street. Today, he is the founder of behavourialmacro.com and runs a fund that combines his skillsets as a trader and an economist. In this discussion, we get into why economists are usually bad investors and how Mark approaches markets. We also cover some provocative ideas - including how Quantitive Easing and Tightening have little effect and why Mark's not worried about US debt. Please enjoy this great conversation with Mark Dow.For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page here.-----Making Markets is a property of Colossus, LLC.
