Mike Singleton of Invictus Research - The Things That Matter and the Things That Don’t
Manage episode 431386967 series 1424494
Today, Rusty and Robyn are joined by Mike Singleton, Senior Analyst and Principal at Invictus Research. Mike studied finance and theology at the University of Notre Dame, where he graduated summa cum laude. After graduating, Mike had the opportunity to work for several years with Broad Run Investment Management, where he spent most of his time conducting deep, fundamental diligence on the highest quality companies he could find. Since then, most of his time has been spent researching the economy at-large and its relationship with the liquid asset markets. He believes that there is a massive hole in the research market for timely, thoughtful and accessible macroeconomic research. That's why he got involved at Invictus. He also wants to thank the incredible team of people behind the scenes at Invictus, who make all of their research possible.

Quote
[24:06] - “Fed policy tends to matter a lot when The Fed is moving quickly. When it’s hiking rates really quickly, or when it’s cutting rates really quickly…It tends to matter when earnings growth, in absolute terms, is close to zero - when it’s not increasing quickly or decreasing quickly. Right now neither of those conditions are met…we expect [earnings growth] to be low double digits, [but] even if it’s 9%, that is going to swamp the effect of 25 basis points of interest rate cuts here or there.” ~ Mike Singleton
