Beach Reads
December 8, 2020
Before jumping into the final edition of Beach Reads for 2020, I wanted to thank everyone who has helped bring this project to life this year. First, this initiative couldn't have happened without the support of the WCM team – and a special shout-out goes to the compliance team. Second, I'm grateful to the content creators who largely operate small publications and share their insights with the world. Third, thank you to my editor, for working closely with me to polish the posts. Fourth and finally, thank you, the readers and subscribers of Beach Reads. It's genuinely thrilling to know that you find the content compelling and I'm grateful for every email, question, and bit of feedback I've received. Hearing from the audience – both subscribers and content producers – has been one of the most satisfying and completely unexpected outcomes, showing that sometimes it's less important to provide answers than to start a stimulating debate.
By way of a quick recap: Beach Reads began in January and was rolled out to the broader public in April. There have been 24 editions of Beach Reads, featuring around 250 articles. This round up represents some of the most intriguing content I've found throughout the year. I tried to feature "evergreen" content that should be broadly insightful for years, rather than articles centered around more transient news events. As a wrap on the year, the post is longer than usual, giving you the opportunity to browse through at a leisurely pace until Beach Reads resumes in the new year.
As we move toward what will hopefully be a brighter 2021, it is encouraging to see green shoots emerging already. With efficacious vaccines being deployed as soon as this month, I expect a very different world when I post the Best of Beach Reads 2021. And I'm personally very excited for that. I also expect Beach Reads to look a bit different in 2021. In order to make it even more compelling, timely, and actionable, I'd like you to please reach out with thoughts on improvements. Any idea is welcome: fewer links, more podcasts, original essays, live-streams…whatever feedback you have, I'd love to hear it. Don't hesitate to connect at insights@wcminvest.com. Again: thank you all, and I'll see you again in 2021!
