Lessons from the Retro-Future: How the Future of the Past Informs the Present of Investing

Lessons from the Retro-Future: How the Future of the Past Informs the Present of Investing
Drawing from a dozen years of ETF research experience and a lifetime of science-fiction fandom, Daniel will guide you through the ETF landscape and a library of novels, movies, games, and comics to show that what is old is new again. Whether it's crypto, pandemics, the metaverse, artificial intelligence, space exploration, or any number of new investment frontiers, you can be certain that some futurists in the past sketched out the contours of how we think about these topics today. In fact, that's probably all you can be certain about because with all the tools coming to the marketplace, the opportunities to perish or prosper have never been closer to hand.
