Trump 2.0 going to go the exact way BoJo did in the UK. Every new ridiculous thing topping the last inconceivable atrocity will be greeted with ‘ah yes, but nevertheless’

Nothing will change and we’ll
just succumb to the fate of the slowly boiling frog

Objectively, yes.
But OTOH watch how literally nothing happens, nor any tangible mkt reaction etc

Yeah, when crossing the executive by executing the law means the executive launches revenge prosecutions, then it’s time to get your money out, charge massive risk premiums or both.

Because this is banana republic stuff, and that means the risks are too high not to cover against it.

So what if it’s a bubble?
It’s not like you’re making money on either side of it simply by moaning about it on social media

not throwing shade on Toby here but a long held belief of mine is macro serves 1 of 2 roles;
a) dull dinner party conversation for the purpose of intellectual self gratification
b) real money managers in pension funds managing real duration risk

anything outside that, its nothing but pure wank

🚨 Do macro releases really matter to stock punters?

Turns out yes, or at least some of them.

the ponzi will not perpetuate itself Toby

Australian pension fund managers are notoriously the laziest and most useless the world has ever seen

The thing no one tells you about success is that none of the hard work you so painstakingly detail in your LinkedIn posts counts for a modicum of jack shit without several helpings of luck interspersed along the way.
