This is Mesters in Business with Barry Redholz on Bloomberg Radio.

This week on the podcast, I have an extra special guest.

Neil Dada has been doing economic analysis and research from a market-based perspective.

For over 20 years, he has a fascinating career and has been a whole lot more right than

wrong than most of his fellow economists who cover the street.

I found this to be just an absolutely fascinating discussion about how to best contextualize

the world of economic data around you in a way that's useful for you as an investor.

Very often, there's a ton of information that comes out and by the time it's released,

it is fairly meaningless to what the market's going to be doing a few months' hence.

Understanding nuance, understanding that the world isn't binary is the challenge for investors.

Few do it better than Neil does in terms of putting together a global view of what's

happening in the economy, what's happening around the world, what's happening with the

Fed, and what's happening with the stock market.

I found this conversation to be fascinating and I think you will also, with no further

ado, RenMax, Neil Dada.

Let's start out with a little bit about your background.

Graduate cum laude from NYU with a BA in Economics and Polly Sy.

What was your first job in the Economics and Finance space?

I was actually thinking about being a lawyer.

I ended up taking my LSAT, my senior year at NYU.

I did okay, but I didn't do well enough to go to a school that I really wanted to go

to.
