Your are watching the end game of currencies and capitaism.

Zimbabwe has the obvious solution to crazy inflation.

Russia is on the ball too.

Who would have ever thought that Mr. Putin would ever decide over the economical future of Europe (short to mid-term). The combination of no gas from Russia with a resurgence of COVID can induce a apocalyptical downward spiral in Europe come fall/winter.

It's frightening. It's not what western politicians say, it's what "Vladimir" will do that will be the deciding factor.  
In such a situation, to be short the DAX would be a good place to be.

This is short term issue, longer term issues would be like this one below and growing:

Once the Chinese squeeze them from the markets (as the Japanese and Koreans did before), it would be interesting where they would find money to fund the poor countries lining up for membership.

A micro analysis. We will have to deal with macro economics soon. Unfortunately.

Sat waiting for how the markets will react to sleepy Joe losing control of the US house and senate in November and being a lame duck and getting impeached with his prostitute loving, drug sniffing , gun totting, chinese  money taking son

Son sounds like my kind of guy. ????

I started moving to a much higher than usual cash position in September/October ‘21 as I thought the writing was on the wall. Paid my house off, my only debt, and ensured I have at least 3 years living costs transferred to Thailand at around 24฿/AUD to hedge against any serious foreign exchange movements. 

Now it’s just a matter of how long and deep this bear will run. I’m not buying into the end of the world as many are calling for. Consumers will continue to consume, supply chain pressure will relax eventually and the energy crisis will abate. Just gotta strap in, reassess my budget, trim some frivolous spending and wait it out.

It's the European's own mistake. Before you decide on sanctions, think, if they will work or not. Obviously not. A shot in the own foot. Other countries like India, buy cheap oil and sell it expensive to Europe. Greece ???????? ship owners have all smiling faces.

It’s natural for the stock market to go up and down based on world issues.  
Sometimes I make money and lose money on my investments.  That is the name of the game. But I still have made money over the years. 
Im not invested in  all individual stocks. But in a few asset allocation funds to play it safe.  So my investment portfolio is diversified.

A bit late to the party. This started at the end of last year.

If the markets went only in an upwards direction, there'd be no need of them. They're like a sign wave with varying amplitudes. Now is probably a good time to buy, the Pi Bottom Indicator is just on the point of crossing.

It will be okay. Brandon's going to fix it. Let's go, Brandon!!
Not sure, but have heard Anthony A is going to use the same economics program as the USA. Cut out the cheap(er) energy (like coal and natural gas) and build solar panel power plants and wind mills all over the outback (China and the CCP thank you). Print and spend. That should work.

So many things...  I think his failure to uphold the immigration laws will get him the worse charge, but that's okay, after January 2023 Joe will step down and VP Harris will step up (or speaker Nancy) ????  (The two year term has been in the works from the beginning.)
