I've been on somewhat of a hiatus from posting original material over the last month or so, but fortunately my friends at Dimensional Fund Advisors have been working hard this summer. Here are a couple of timely articles from Jim Parker in his Outside the Flags series.
In the first piece, Greece is the Word, Jim explores some of the realities of the ongoing Greek melodrama.
In the second piece, The China Syndrome, Jim looks at the recent extreme volatility in the Shanghai Composite Index.
