Going into the long weekend, I’ve been chewing on what may be the most important investment question we ever face, and it has nothing to do with stocks. It’s the question of where we put our remaining attention, energy, and clarity as the calendar insists on moving forward. There’s a “retirement” story most people tell themselves, but there’s also a quieter reality: aging isn’t just years, it’s motion. Some folks keep moving, building, learning, and adapting. Others default to the couch and the Cyclops. The difference shows up fast.
Markets are closed Monday, but the world is not. We’re heading into a week where headlines can matter more than models, and where the next slice of GDP data will give us a fresh read on whether money is actually turning over or just pooling in place. I’ll keep today’s column light on the “spoilers,” but the setup is straightforward: news flow is likely to drive, and the week ahead looks like one of those moments where timing, sentiment, and the consumer’s willingness to spend may tell us more than any single number.
