Thanks to stubbornly high inflation, the Big Cut’s arrival has gotten pushed back and pushed back, and yet markets have kept right on cooking. The plot thickened last week when the U.S. Fed hinted that an unexpectedly robust economy might prompt a rate <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font"><em>hike</em></a> in the coming months. And markets … kept on cooking. (Investors still expect the Bank of Canada to shave rates by a quarter-point soon, maybe even this week.) Conventional wisdom holds that another Fed hike would hurt markets, but stocks finished last week near all-time highs. Have corporate earnings been so swole that they’ve assuaged investors’ rate concerns? Last week, the answer was yes. We’ll see if they’re right to be so relaxed.</td></tr></tbody></table><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:30px 0"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" class="today-one-number" style="background-color:#32302F; border-radius:12px; padding:0"><table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" class="section-divider" style="font-family:FuturaPT,Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight:600; font-size:18px; line-height:130%; color:#fff; text-align:left; padding:30px 0 5px; border-bottom:1px solid #fff">THE WEEK IN ONE NUMBER</td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:16px 0 0"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td align="left" class="color-accent one-number-small" style="font-family:Futura-CondensedExtraBold,'Roboto Condensed',Arial Condensed,sans-serif; font-weight:900; font-size:96px; letter-spacing:-.04em; line-height:100%; color:#D7EC84; text-align:left; padding:30px 0 16px">US$500K</td></tr><tr><td align="left" class="body-copy" style="font-family:FuturaPT,Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight:400; font-size:18px; line-height:150%; color:#fff; text-align:left; padding:9px 0 30px">Or CAD$684,000.

This system was a relic of the ye olde days when you had to send a courier to-and-fro the brick-and-mortar stock exchange to complete a trade. Over the years, brokerages created workarounds to let clients move in and out of stocks instantly. But if you ever sold an asset and immediately tried to withdraw the funds, this two-day lag probably prevented you from doing that. Now you’ll just have to <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">wait a day</a> to get your money.

Folks quickly pointed out that these goals seem, well, pretty <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">incompatible</a>! Trudeau’s remarks underscored Canada’s can’t-have-it-both-ways pickle: our homeownership rate is, believe it or not, <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">roughly the same as it has been over the past 20 years</a> — today 66% of Canadians own a home. The problem is that far fewer people today <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">can actually afford to buy a home</a>.

It’s akin to how casinos ban players for counting cards: the only rule they’re really breaking is being too good. What it’s not akin to is financial markets, where winners are rewarded with more cash to bet even bigger.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>What does Salesforce actually </strong><em><strong>do</strong></em><strong>? </strong>It looks like the company might need to do a better job <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">answering that question</a>.

She’s also a co-host of our humble little finance <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">podcast</a> (which you should totally listen to). Last week, Scanlon released her first book, <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font"><em>In This Economy?: How Money & Markets Really Work</em></a>. It explains the economy and trading and fiscal policy and what it all means for regular people. We sat down and asked her to explain.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>Your book opens with a chapter titled “The Vibe Economy.” Can you break that down and explain it in two parts? First, what </strong><em><strong>is</strong></em><strong> the economy? </strong>That’s a good question, because when a lot of people hear the phrase <em>the economy</em>, they think of money or corporations. But, at a very baseline level, the economy is just us — everyday people — and our economic interactions. We trade goods and services, and money is the facilitator of these interactions; it’s a technology we use to execute our transactions. But the economy is, at its core, people. I think it’s helpful to view it this way, because we often overestimate the role of corporations or governments in the economy and underestimate our own significance. <span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>Now the second part: vibes. What are they, and what do they have to do with the economy?</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>The term <em>vibes</em> is basically a shorthand for consumer sentiment; they’re the way we feel about money and our jobs and the future. Vibes are important because they often influence our behaviour more than data, as <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">John Maynard Keynes</a> long ago realized. Whether you choose to buy a new car right now, for instance, probably has less to do with the latest GDP print than your gut feelings about the economy and your expectations for the future. And when a lot of people share the same expectation, it can have a powerful effect. If people generally expect boom times ahead, they’ll spend money and make the boom times happen. But if people expect a slowdown, they’ll likely cut spending and create the downturn they anticipated. The famous trader George Soros had it right when he said, “<a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">You affect what you predict</a>.”<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>That’s all very macro. Why should I care about vibes on a personal level? </strong>A lot of people think they don’t need to know about the economy or it’s too overwhelming to understand. But I was reading an article today that said that when people aren’t informed about politics, their response tends to be cynicism. And the same is true for economics: <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">55%</a> of Americans and <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">58%</a> of Canadians think the economy is in a recession right now, and it’s not. It’s just that <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">interest rates and inflation are high</a>, which is not the same thing. And people with an overly negative view of the economy might be making poor, or at least uninformed, choices — by not taking risk or investing or hiring enough or a million other possible things. In my view, we all have a civic duty to understand the economic world we live in, so we can help ourselves and the people around us make wise money decisions and not be as susceptible to vibes.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>So have you trained yourself to be unmoved by vibes? Are you a purely data-minded decision maker? </strong>No, not at all! Vibes can also lead to irrational exuberance, which might be more of my problem. It’s easy to get carried away when a stock surges or markets are on a tear. The key is to know your tendencies and put limitations on yourself. For me, I know I have to buy and hold stocks, because I can’t control my emotions. It would be very unwise of me to open my brokerage app every day.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><em>Get more of Kyla’s insights in </em><a href="#" style="color:#32302F;
