About Insightful Investor
The Insightful Investor is a weekly podcast hosted by Alex Shahidi, Co-CIO of one of the nation’s leading RIAs. In a conversational, “fireside chat” format, Alex interacts with some of the world’s premier investors and business icons to share market insights rarely found elsewhere. While many investors echo common sentiments, our “insights” include concepts that we believe are counterintuitive, widely misunderstood, or underappreciated. With over two decades of experience managing billions of dollars in client assets, Alex offers unique access to some of the industry’s top thinkers. He has authored two investment books and contributed to leading journals, and he consistently ranks among the elite financial advisors by Forbes and Barron’s. As an independent and innovative voice, Alex offers a fresh take on investing. We invite you to tune in and would love to hear your feedback. https://insightfulinvestor.org/

What if it's not enough sunshine or what if it's too much sunshine? Right. All of these things. And then I think that's what the premise of climate change is that climate change doesn't mean, well, the world is just heating up. It's not that simplistic. Is that whether now it's more complicated, like the record El Nino was seeing doesn't mean that, well, North America might actually be a beneficiary, but many parts of Asia or, you know, the southern parts of Latin America, that's all shifting.
