Amazing read on the current #world #economy situation and how to invest in the face of red-hot #inflation and Fed's #monetarypolicy

[Silly Markets - Making sense of the non-sense @sillymarkets]

The Fed is doing its best to contain #inflation, but its efforts seem to only kill the #economy.
There are a few remaining questions: when will the #FED pivot? are they focusing on the right metrics? and most importantly, where to #invest?

#Kremlin has announced that #Russian troops will "stop in a moment", provided that #Ukraine accepts their demands, which include:
• Recognition of #Donetsk and #Luhansk as independent
• Recognition of #Crimea as Russian territory
• Ukraine to stop its bid of joining #NATO

For those afraid that #China will use the occasion to invade #Taiwan - according to @FinancialTimes , China signaled willingness to assist in reaching #ceasefire in #Ukraine.
IMO, condemning #Russia basically says that they're not gonna do the same.

New week, new episode! This time around, we touched base on what #contrarian investing means and we applied this to the 3 main narratives driving the markets: #inflation, #supplychain issues, #russia #nato tensions. Oh, don't forget to subscribe! #podcast

The #US knows that #crypto is here to stay and is now investigating ways of integrating the technology in the economic system. The #cryptocurrency space could be facing some drastic changes.

This comes after last year's scandal that revealed the top dogs making substantial gains from investments done while they were taking key decisions to fight #COVID. Interestingly enough, #Congress is now considering new legislation that would ban #stocks #trading on Capitol Hill.

Policymakers have 14 months to divest pre-owned non-complying securities. They must also provide 45 days of advance notice and obtain prior approval if they wish to make any purchases, which they need to hold on to for at least 1 year. Oh, and no #trading during volatile markets.

BREAKING(ish)
The #FederalReserve released new a set of rules that restrict senior officials to purchase individual stocks or sector funds, as well as individual bonds. The rules were expanded to cover #crypto, #commodities, #forex, derivatives, shorting, and purchases on margin.

Spoiler alert: nasty reading.

While the situation is still far from the '70s hyperinflation, #inflation is still hottest in 40 years.
The annual inflation rate in the #US jumped to 7.5% in Jan, as #energy, #labor shortages, and supply disruptions coupled with strong demand.

Read more about why $ALUMINUM (as well as $COPPER and a few others), all mined by $RIO make a very interesting case for the #green #EnergyTransition and why we should be investing in the long-term into such #commodities.

The second episode of @SillyBulls covers the tensions building up at the #Ukrainian #border, the (im)possible scenarios and how we think we should shape our #investment #strategy. Check it out!

Very interesting #Poll 👀

[Silly Markets - Making sense of the non-sense @sillymarkets]

This seems to drive the markets for now, so what do you think is the most likely scenario, with the tensions building up?

For those interested, here's a (hopefully) nice thread

[Silly Markets - Making sense of the non-sense @sillymarkets]

A little #football banter is always welcome. Glad to finally see #Lewandowski getting his recognition and politics staying away from #FIFATHEBEST . #Messi was simply inferior to Lewy and once other players / coaches have voted, it was clear.

Now back to finance stuff.

[Silly Markets - Making sense of the non-sense @sillymarkets]

Interesting thread. For those not convinced by #Chinese #technology, this could change your mind; for those already #BULLISH on it, it's just to confirm your bias.

[Silly Markets - Making sense of the non-sense @sillymarkets]

Very insightful thread. Take a read and understand how this eruption, supposedly the most powerful in over 250 years, can affect the planet for the coming years.
