As an avid gardener I am very sensitive to the weather. Having grown up in Marin county here in the SF Bay area in the 80’s I have fond memories of incredibly hot weeks where you could barely sleep at night it was so hot. And it wasn’t just a few days of hot weather. The 100 degree weather would go on and on for weeks.
I am surprised at how cold it has been the past 7-8 years. We are in the middle of May and it’s still very cold outside and my garden is quite the sad scene due to the relentless cold. To experience back to back 90 degree days is now quite the anomaly. As an investor being a contrarian is an integral part of my life as I am always looking to do the opposite of the herd. Is it possible we’ve been wrong all along and we are actually entering a mini-ice age? A team of European researchers seem to think so and the mini-ice age could come as soon as 2030.
If an ice-age is coming I don’t think Florida will be far south enough. And how will an ice-age impact agriculture? What kinds of investments can we make now before things get really cold. These are the kinds of things I think about when it’s a quiet day in the markets.
