Businomics Newsletter, July 2026: Surprising Gain
What’s New, July 2026
The economy and real estate was the focus of WFG Title Insurance Company’s quarterly discussion with the executive chairman Pat Stone and me, moderated by Knowledge Coop’s Ken Perry.
My blog now contains articles written by “Conerly Consulting staff.” The staff member working under my direction is Claude. His initials are A.I. First I gave him 5 of my Forbes articles and asked for a summary of my writing style. When I have an idea for an article about recent economic data, I provide Claude with news sources and then a few bullet points that I want to make. He drafts the article, I edit as necessary, and then we publish. So far, his drafts have exactly aligned with my thinking. My Forbes articles are drafted by me from the start. However, I don’t see much difference between what I write and what Claude writes in my voice. Let me know what you think. So far I have articles on GDP growth and inflation.
