Commentary on the world of finance, and other things

We at Artifex believe in enhancing the wisdom of our clients and readers.  While most of our topics will be related to investments, personal finance, and the economy, we also endeavor to include thought-provoking commentary on topics that will help you expand your "mental models", as referred to by Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet. We want you to learn from us and others how to think logically and see the world through an informed lens.

Some of our regular topics include:

  • Monthly "Savvy Cybersecurity" updates with tips to keep your data safe
  • Economic and market commentary
  • Financial planning and investment management best practices
  • Thoughts to improve your mindset and your life
