Technological progress and capitalistic competition are powerful deflationary forces that are keeping global interest rates lower for longer. Unfortunately this has resulted in excessive state debt and inflated asset prices.
The million Bitcoin question is how long this can continue. Japan’s debt to GDP is heading for 250% of GDP and their debt bubble has remained intact. As have their many zombie companies.
The best investment paradigm is probably to focus on real, organic growth (not financially engineered growth). High growth is far less likely to come from large, existing industries and companies.
That’s why I prefer startups and scaleups with new business models in new industries.
Venture capital requires long term investments in diversified but illiquid shares. Portfolio should be a minimum of 10 companies with a minimum 10 year investment horizon.

Long Reads Sunday #62

In the US, Labor Day is the end of summer & beginning of fall, so LRS is turning it over to @Travis_Kling @AriDavidPaul @tayvano_ & more to answer:

+what we learned
+what happens next
+what we’re not talking about enough

And of course: number go up?
2/ Question 1: So, what did we learn this summer?

Was it all just tribal infighting?
Were exchanges the whole story?
Did we really shift from bear to bull or are there still questions?
3/ For some, the story of the summer was exchanges. @mdudas @TheBlock__ said: "Exchanges are shipping at unprecedented rates. Binance has multiple releases weekly, Bitfinex and Coinbase have had multiple launches and these firms are expanding into staking, lending and more."

After the buildup and the crash-course in my last post, here is my post analysing Promoter Financing market in India. The analysis attempts to explain the slowdown in promoter financing in India and brings out some interesting facts. Read on to know more. Thread 1/12
As per BSE data, the aggregate value of promoters' pledged shares was ~1.85 lakh crore as at Aug 23, 2019. In comparison, the value of promoters' pledged shares stood at ~Rs 2.5 lakh crore as at Aug 30, 2018. The fall in pledge levels indicate slowdown in promoter financing. 2/12
An ET article (July 22), observed that 'pledging of shares by promoters of NSE companies dropped to a six-year low'. Another ET article (Aug 15), noted that 'interest rates on loans against shares (LAS) have surged by about 300 basis points in the past 3 months'. 3/12

A tale of 2 banks or 2 Country-blocs (US & EU). US banks have managed Regulatory Capital well, reinvested in technology for scale in volatile trading, reined in bonuses and benefit from an un-fractured Retail market with +ve interest rates...1/2...
On the other hand, EU banks have overstated synergy of I-Banking with Corporate Banking, without steady revenues from either, frittered away capital & drove margins to 1-digit RoE levels. All this while facing -ve interest rates & fractured, price-protected Retail markets...2/3
...EU banks, barring ~2, have also failed to capture scale & synergy of Wealth Management with I-Banking, neither focusing on Retail Brokerage Tech (like $MS or $SCHW) or PWM hi-touch (like $C). Wrong focus, delayed timing...3/3!

in 1977 (based on a FALSE theory)Jimmy Carter signed a Federal Reserve "dual mandate" law which POLITICIZED the Federal Reserve to use Keynesian false gauges of inflation to "strike a balance" between jobs & inflation...as if more inflation is good for more jobs until it's not.
since the late 1970s, we've had a series of economic booms & busts caused by false theories & Fed actions, which fake news & liberal economists falsely & for political reasons have blamed on tax cuts, supply side economics & Republican de-regulation,
Bill Clinton was referring to this law & its effects when the economy slowed down by 1994 after his big, wrong-headed unnecessary tax increase when he said "slow steady growth is better than fast growth" & expected the Fed to keep interest rates lower for longer, but it didn't

📌TJ:”A high amount of MSM speculation & mistakes over the past two weeks means they are being fed disinfo about a report & where Mueller's inv’n is going.

📌What we did learn is Peter Strzok referred to classified crimes that are horrific in his House transcript.”
🌳Breathe2🌳

📌TJ:”Mueller is keeping Trump/RU conspiracy info secret for a reason- it’s a NatSec issue.

It’s not just a/b jeopardizing ongoing investigations.

📌The problem he faces is how to tell the country Trump is a traitor, installed by Putin, while he’s still in office”

📌TJ:”It would be treason to hide or change evidence so the Trump/Kush crime wave & Putin's control of Trump cont’s.

📌Barr may have thought he could give Rs a soft landing.

📌Not now.

📌He has to help remove a traitor in the context of our legal structure.”

GLOBAL MARKETS WEEKLY RECAP wk6 thread 1/n

good afternoon.

• first attempt of a RiskOFF week since a long while
• dovish outlook from RBA, continued with BoE, ECB, but the almighty FED pulled the unexpected joker out of their sleeve which resulted in a late Friday reverse
2/n Global Markets overview

• ... to bring weekly momentum and longer term trends into context... and to get a visual for correlations.

• strong V shape global rebound since Dec Powell put got a little exhausted, some chips off the table last week.
3/n Global Markets YTD

• obviously a very strong start into 2019 after the disaster Q4 2018. But calculating these on an annual basis, it's most likely not sustainable. Hence, some weakness last week. (if not resuming to the bigger picture, but I will come to this later)
