Behind the Wheel: Driving Your Portfolio

What does Formula 1 racing have in common with investing? More than you might think.

When Markets Stop Shrugging It Off

The US/Israel-Iran conflict, which began on February 28, is now about to enter its fifth week as you read this. Despite reports of back-channel peace talks, there are still no clear signs of an end in sight. In my March 6, 2026, Weekly Update, I focused on how a short conflict – what was initially expected – could affect markets. This week, the bigger question is what happens if it lasts longer.
