Oh speaking of Paris fashion week, guess which “luxury” brand isn’t there? Burberry It can’t play with the big boys like Dior or Loewe If you ain’t at Milan, Paris, or NY fashion week, are you really a luxury fashion brand even? $burby

Holy shit AMQ killing it Also don’t talk to me about luxury brands or fashion until you’ve seen at least 20 fashion shows. Anyone who says “oh they’ll sell more clothing!” Is a fucking moron Brands don’t make much margin on clothes. In fact, w the show, it’s a break even.

전체적으로는 크게 비중 실었던 부동산이 별 힘을 못쓰면서 동기간 시장수익률 정도만 간신히 나지 않았나 싶고, 같은 금액을 $QQQ 에 넣은 것 대비는 약간 못하지 않았나 정도의 생각이 있습니다. ㅎㅎ 그래도 4-5루타씩 친 종목들이 있어서 체면은 차린 것 같습니다.

It was inevitable that smart individuals would take advantage of the inflation produced by fiat money. As happened in Germany 1919-1923. But let's not pretend that these private equity gurus have improved economy-wide productivity.

Yes we can be more precise than just saying "bubble": 1. Ponzi finance: widespread borrowing at negative carry 2. Attention cascade: speculation due to new era theory 3. Misperception of the value of an asset 2000s bubble had parts of 2&3 but unlike the Tulip bubble, no debt.

Media has become incredibly foolish. Everyone loves Yunus so the new government must be a step up, right? As effective as the positive PR campaign we saw in media after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Nobody seemed to care.

The idea was the Philippine Stock Exchange. Throughout history, when interest rate decline, fixed income experience loss of income and frequently decide to switch into stocks. That's exactly what's playing out in the Philippines right now.

Philippine trading volumes picked up, right after the mid-August interest rate cut. Retail investors have started moving out of fixed income into stocks. https://t.co/tr0F4D3eKY
