MegaThreats: Ten Dangerous Trends That Imperil Our Future, And How to Survive Them Hey there, My Money Box Community! 👋 This month, I am excited to share with you my latest read, "MegaThreats: Ten Dangerous Trends That Imperil Our Future, And How to Survive Them" by Nouriel Roubini. Now, if you have not heard of Nouriel, let me give you a quick rundown. Nouriel a Persian American professor at NYU's Stern School of Business and the head honcho at Roubini Global Economics. You might know him by his ominous nickname, “Dr. Doom,” thanks to his uncanny ability to forecast economic storms. Remember the 2008 housing crisis and the Great Recession? Yep, he called it. In "MegaThreats," Nouriel does not hold back. He is sounding the alarm on ten colossal challenges that could shake the very foundations of our future. We are talking about a world grappling with mounting debt, the dilemmas of population growth, the rise of AI and the potential job crisis it brings, the brewing tension between the US and China, and the ever-looming threat of climate change. But here is the million-dollar question: Is Nouriel just the boy who cried wolf, or should we be bracing ourselves for impact? It is a provocative thought, and one that I am sure will stir up some lively discussions. So, as I turn the pages and explore these megathreats, I am eager to hear your thoughts. Have you read the book? Do you see these threats playing out in your own day-to-day life? Maybe you have got a strategy or two for weathering these potential storms. Drop a comment below, share your insights, and let us get the conversation rolling. And hey, if you have a book suggestion for next month's read, I am all ears. #MyMoneyBox

Are Those Investment Returns Too Good to Be True? Let's Talk Risk! Hey there, My Money Box Community! 👋 Have you ever been at a gathering where someone casually drops a bombshell about an investment that skyrocketed, boasting returns that would make your investments blush? Picture this: Over the last year, their new asset class delivered a whopping 150% return. Over five years, they've seen a steady 50% annualized return, and over a decade, a solid 60% annualized. Sounds tempting, doesn't it? But hold your horses—let's dive a little deeper before we jump on board. Now, if I've piqued your interest, you're probably wondering if those consistent returns tell the whole story. Spoiler alert: they don't. The first question you should be asking isn't about the returns themselves but about the risks involved. What's at stake? Could you lose your initial investment, or might the returns not pan out as expected? Essentially, we're talking about the uncertainty that comes with the territory. Even if I reassure you that this investment is as "safe" as a kitten playing with yarn, how do you actually measure that safety? That's where you need to pull out the magnifying glass and scrutinize risk and returns side by side. Only then can you make a fair comparison to other asset classes like cash, bank deposits, stocks, bonds, gold—you name it. Enter the realm of Risk Adjusted Returns. As a rational investor, your mission is to get the best bang for your buck while managing the risks you take. There are a plethora of methods to measure risk, but almost all of them hinge on a set timeframe and a benchmark for comparison. And let's be smart about our benchmark selection, so we're not comparing apples to oranges. Further details on this post are available on my website. Link in Bio/ First Comment below. Alright, I want to hear from you now! Are there any risk measures you swear by? Any wild investment stories you want to share? Drop your thoughts and experiences in the comments, and let's keep the conversation going! #MyMoneyBox
