Why investors become bearish when the weather gets gloomy

Evidence shows that weather influences investing choices. Can acting on that knowledge lead to better returns?

If you’re looking for an excuse to migrate over to the other place, where #EconSky is looking more and more like what many of us used to enjoy about #EconTwitter, you may be interested in the “starter pack” I created of researchers interested in finance. go.bsky.app/944zQWd

Art that tugs at your heart. The artist, Sadzěʔ yaaghęhch’ill, was inspired by Jumbo the elephant who died when struck by a train in St. Thomas Ontario. The notes: “capturing and training an elephant for the circus involves breaking the animal’s will and spirit”. @agotoronto

Favorite thing: when people find out I’m a finance professor, ask me what I think of cryptocurrency, and then spend the next 10 minutes explaining to me why it’s a great investment. (Not my favorite thing.)

Currently on vacation, meandering up the California coast. Might be fun to visit the SpaceX launch site at Vandenberg Space Force Base! Good news: there is a visitor center. Bad news: it’s not open to the public, does not sell merch, and has no info on upcoming launch times.
