ReplyDeleteNancy Pelosi’s husband purchased $5mn in stock of Nvidia ahead of a bill that would hand subsidies to chip manufacturers. The bill is set to be voted on next week.
German women are now allowed topless in public pools for the sake of gender equality.

All outdoor public pools in Germany have a nude section were they just walk about completely naked. So now to take a dip they just have to wear bikini bottoms.
All saunas are naked saunas so instead of going for a drink after work colleagues go for a sauna after work to talk about their day. Then have a drink.
Nudity without a mandatory mask requirement?
ReplyDeleteOutrageous.
No wonder the country is called Germany... it's full of germs and germ spreaders.

ReplyDeleteFrom Trump’s Truth himself:
“ The Unselect Committee should be immediately terminated unless and until they are able to answer this overriding question—why did Crazy Nancy not act? Was she too busy policing her husband—who he was with, where, and when? The Committee must get to the bottom of this question, and must get there soon!”

ReplyDelete1. Lots of distress in frontier markets, but that has ZERO relevance for the big systemic EMs. The big EMs learned long ago not to borrow in hard currency and not to peg their exchange rates. Frontier markets are currently learning those lessons the hard way.

2. The Euro periphery suffered a BoP crisis in 2010. EM recovers from such crises by devaluing. Only way the periphery can devalue is by deregulating markets & cutting wages. No new ECB anti-fragmentation tool can fix this,

3. Real exchange rate depreciation: July 2012 - July 2022
1. South Africa (red): -22.4%
2. Chile (blue): -29.7%

5. Turkey (pink): -48.9%
Japan's Yen (blue) fell a lot recently, but now is not the time to be short the Yen. Global recession is coming & EM currencies are falling. Both things cause Japanese retail investors to retrench & seek the safety of home. Yen short positioning has started cutting back (black).
I repeat Yen shorts are cutting back.
