The study’s authors attribute the effect to 'reference-dependent gain,' where you think you’re getting a deal because you’re saving 5% on the cost of a nice meal, even if you wouldn’t have bought that meal otherwise. You might save $5 on a fancy $100 steak dinner, but you could have just spent $5 on ingredients to cook at home—and not spent that extra $95 at all."

Excerpt from ReachX Podcast -- "I believe we are still in a benign credit cycle, and we have been, actually, for over eight years—we're into the ninth year—which is the longest in the history of modern financial markets. Low default rates, high recovery rates if there are defaults, low interest rates and required rates of return for investors, and, finally, high liquidity. Those are the four metrics I look at. So, we're in a benign cycle, and we'll probably remain there for at least another year. My concerns are beyond that period, based on the enormous build up in debt, globally and particularly in the US markets."

Excerpt from the Unchained podcast -- "...there’s no shame in saying, hey, you know, we’ve been around as a regulator since the 1930s. A few things have changed since then. We might want to, you know, just ask a few questions about whether the framework’s working the way it should, and if it’s not, let’s change it so that everyone’s better off and everyone has more freedom to make their own decisions and to do things that allow them to participate better in society, to contribute their talents and their resources to society."
