Excerpt from The Cut -- "'The issue is that they tip into negative territory when they inspire obsessions,' he explains. 'A streak that gets you to take 10,000 steps every day is good until you have a stress injury, and push through it because you don’t want to abandon the streak.'"

Excerpt from Wirecutter -- "A study by researchers at the NYU Stern School of Business found that coupons for higher-priced items induce people to spend more money than they would otherwise. 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."
