Hey! I'm Rubin.
I've spent my entire career in investments, and the early years in Chicago. I was first an unsuccessful oil trader, then an unsuccessful currency trader, and finally a moderately successful bond trader. I was a bit lost at age 29, so I moved to Los Angeles and enrolled in business school.
After that, I spent 7 years at Dimensional Fund Advisors. Many of my views about investing align with their investment approach, including that analyzing stocks is, frankly, a waste of time, energy, and resources.
I feel strongly that great investment experiences aren't hard to achieve with foundational financial literacy. The premise of my writings is simple:
-
Investors should define what fortune means to them
(and it shouldn't be just $)
-
...and then reduce various frictions to achieving it

Thanks for visiting!
