Weekend Reads – 5/15/20

I’m exploring adding some additional features to this weekly email/post and will be testing out different items in the next few weeks. I still plan to keep the content light and short for easy reading. In the meantime…

The 3 articles that I enjoyed reading this week:  

• Howard Mark’s latest memo – “Uncertainty”  (Oaktree)
• Supreme Court seeks a middle ground on release of Trump’s taxes (Axios)
• What Happens When Distressed Markets Don’t Give You Distressed Prices (A Wealth of Common Sense)

Howard Mark’s memos are always a must-read for me, The Axios article is a good summary of the Supreme Court’s high profile case, and Ben Carlson’s blog is a favorite of mine.

And a few tweets that I enjoyed:

“It’s awesome until there’s a bird or an s-q-u-i— I can’t say that out loud or he’ll go batshit.” – Bremmer on having a dog during the lockdown pic.twitter.com/dyceCcAOBK
