TARIFF WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
I woke up, and the first headline I saw about what had happened in the US during my sleep was “We just increased tariffs on China to 104%” from President Trump. Once again, many people were caught by surprise, even though the US President had previously warned he would take…
TARIFF WARS: A NEW HOPE
Similar to Luke Skywalker taking a sigh of relief after successfully striking the Death Star, traders all around the world took a deep sigh of relief when the threat of the tariffs’ laser beam pulverizing their wealth did not materialize after a long weekend of “Black Monday is coming!” fear-mongering…
TRADERS GOT TRUMP WRONG AND WILL NOW PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR MISTAKE
Two months ago in the article “WHY MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IS SUCH A BAD NEWS FOR MANY (GREEDY) US INVESTORS“, I warned that, contrary to popular belief, US companies (especially Apple) would be the ones to lose the most in the tariff war between the US and the rest…

More than a month ago in “WHY MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IS SUCH A BAD NEWS FOR MANY (GREEDY) US INVESTORS” I warned about how those companies that would suffer the biggest impact from US tariffs on foreign countries were, paradoxically, US companies. Why? Companies like Apple spent years building…
THE DESPERATE MOVE OF GERMANY’S POLITICIANS
Germany, long regarded as the economic locomotive of Europe, unveiled a 2025 budget plan in July 2024 that raised eyebrows across financial markets (to say the least). With a mix of ambitious spending, fiscal rule-bending, and stubborn adherence to the controversial “debt brake,” the new budget reflected a government grappling…
THE US CRYPTO RESERVE PLAN: WHAT IT MEANS FOR INVESTORS EVERYWHERE
Let me paint you a picture. Imagine the U.S. Treasury announced it was buying up Amazon stock, Swiss francs, and commodities to hold as strategic reserves. Markets would go haywire.
