I am embarrassed. Quite honestly what were our politicians expecting. Yes the war is terrible. Not only for the Ukranian people but also for the 1000 of Russians who get killed on the battle field while fighting a war they didnt want. There really ...

He is right. But something is bringing down Crude. Anybody has an idea what is happening to Crude? Been dropping hard for a few days now.

The virtuel gold and the best inflation hedge. The moment something is sold as virtuel gold you know its time to step aside. Why par 12500 for something that is useless. Its a tulip. And been all the time.

No, what the article is saying is that if you buy anything that has to do with China you are de facto undermining the US efforts to help Ukraine. Time for the big guns to step up and choose whose side they are on. I would be happy to pay more for my ...

They lost all credibility looong ago anyway

I am from Denmark. Living in Paris though. In any case we dont have any choice but to trust it will work.

Because most retailers went long on that announcement. Dollar has been uptrending for the entire year. But again, just an example of why retailers should not trade news.

I dont trust the politicians. I trust my own judgement. But agree, it is complicated. Very much so. But it will bite.

Just because the politicians dont want it doesnt mean that the voters agree. I am a strong believer in the sanctions and I truly hope this would end the Putin regime. Unfortunately it seems that the sanctions will hurt us more than it hurts Russia. ...

Under normal circumstances I would agree with you. Merkel and Schröder did too. We have been doing business with Russia. And I think all EU leaders and leaders from the rest of the world would be willing to drop any and all sanctions to Russia today ...

Thinking that Putin is about to break may well be wishful thinking. Indeed, it would be great to see Putin go down and see Russia become a democratic country. But man, is that a long way from here.

This is, unfortunately, just prolonging the inevitable.

Love that comment. Best one today. Markets have gotten ahead of themselves. Demand destruction is coming in naturally and we want see any significant rate increases from ECB.

About time to start looking for good offers if we will again see a bolldbath on the real estate market. Currently buying all the farm land I can get my hand on. No price movements on that yet. I see that as the best inflation hedge. But who knows.

Well there is no Jerome put nowadays. Unfortunately markets has been on steroids for the past decade and due to insane pricing in a no-interest environment the drop and consequences will be remarkable and very hurtful for many. Real people lose to ...

Real people are invested in the markets as well. Due to decades of low interest policy the real people with even just small savings have been artificially pushed into the markets. Most people thinking that it couldnt go wrong.

50bps and no more tomorrow. The markes have gotten ahead of themselves again. Heppens every now and then and it can last a long time (:

Why? in this environment any spike up is an opportunity to sell short.

Even a bottle of natural water has doubled or tripled on the German gas stations. Go figure (: Although due to higher energy costs it makes sense that some items has increased in price the manufacturers and resellers do not waste a good opportunity ...

Agree the EU believed too much and forgot the risk. Question I am starting to ask myself is when is this too much? When will it hit the economy so hard that the sanctions will turn EU citizens against them? Unfortunately, what we also see is that ...
