The One Minute Audio Clip You Need to Hear
Video: Larry Swedroe and Matt Hall
Larry Swedroe, author and Director of Research for The BAM ALLIANCE, and Matt Hall, President of Hill Investment Group, discuss Larry’s latest book: Think, Act, and Invest Like Warren Buffett on February 5th, 2014 at the Saint Louis Club in St. Louis, MO. Nearly 70 guests had the opportunity to learn about why Larry wrote the book, hear some key lessons of investing, and ask questions.
Correction: Larry’s example about commercial real estate and defaults is off by one year. It happened in 2008-2010 rather than 2009-2011.
Taking the Digital Long View
You may have noticed Hill Investment Group popping up in some new places over the past month. With the help of digital strategy consultant, Nicole Hudson, the Hill team is wading into the world of digital media. Digital platforms are increasingly core in the way the world communicates and we are looking forward to uncovering what that means for Hill Investment Group.
In addition to sharing more about who we are outside of Hill Investment Group, our plan is to widen the audience for the articles, ideas, research, and experience we’re already sharing as a team, with clients and with colleagues.
Nicole has been helping organizations navigate digital waters for over 15 years. In her agency life, she worked with clients like The New Yorker, Lincoln Center and AT&T. In addition to working with us at Hill, Nicole works with KDHX Community Media, Metro Theater Company, the artist Brian Owens, and others.
You can now find Hill Investment Group on LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+.
Money Does Not Equal Happiness
Last month in the New York Times, Sam Polk offered a refreshing first-hand account from the underbelly of Wall Street. Polk is a former Wall Street trader who lived the excessive life that Hollywood often shows hedge fund managers and investment bankers living (see: The Wolf of Wall Street). Eventually, he did something that a lot of people would find difficult: he gave up his money addiction in search of something better. This article struck me as a great reminder that having the most money isn’t what life is about, and even if you do have financial freedom it doesn’t guarantee happiness. That’s why at Hill Investment Group we’re passionate about helping to refocus on the things that are truly important; life is too short to worry about the rest.
