I barely read his articles these days. Most of it is irrelevant to my work/obvious to professionals. A lot of it is just summarizing other articles in his own words.

Deep insights in finance are typically not useful once everyone knows about them.

I am not in finance and I’m not interested in investing because I’m rational and simply use world ETFs and don’t see why I would ever want to do anything else. I really enjoy Levine because I learn a lot from it about how the world works. I do not read anything else from finance so really appreciate his summaries.

Were you actually using Levine's insights in your work previously (like, trading on them)? That is interesting if so. Some of Levine's stuff is relevant to my work and most of it is not, but I never really considered it particularly useful, just entertaining. I suppose it can be useful for its educational value as the article explains.

I do also read his stuff less nowadays. I still enjoy it, but it's not as high a priority for me as it used to be. I think it's the repetition. After 100 "everything is securities fraud" stories, number 101 is less entertaining.

Still a big fan though.

I never found it useful for trading (he's never been involved in that as far as I know) but I found it useful for gaining general knowledge when I was new to finance.

By that logic, it is right and good for the American public to be financially illiterate.

It's more about explaining why something happened, not so useful at predicting
