Continuing w/ this theme that when there is challenge there is also opportunity, what about 🐐 goats? Asians consume 60% of global goats but goat consumption is only 6% of global protein consumption. Time to up our goat consumption given this spike of 🐷 price!!! Goat curry 😋 🤷🏻‍♀️
Facts about 🐐 goats: 218 million in 2017 & largest population by country is China & continent is Asia (China, India, Bangladesh & Pakistan). Africa is 39% w/ Sudan highest consumption per capita. Had a stigma of protein for low income/dry place. France is known for good🐐 cheese
Did u know that goats 🐐 are the leanest & also lowest calorie in comparison to 🐷 🐄 🐑??? They have only 25% emission as a beef production! Also easier to raise than 🐄 🐮. Seems like goat demand rising in China esp Shaanxi, Shandong & Henan. Got goats 🐐???
Seems like everyone agrees that goats 🐐 are the way to go for sustainable protein: countries like Malaysia, Indonesia & Thailand are trying to integrate diary goats w/ plantation production of palm oil, rubber, coffee, and cocoa 🤗!!! There is a GOAT 🐐 RUSH 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
Imma have some French 🐐 cheese now but if u want to know all about goat 🐐 here is a Sunday paper for u! Very fascinating read!!! All about goats 🐐 🤗: Baarhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Good morning!!! Standing repo facility is all the rage. Btw, just a reminder that banks get paid 1.8% on excess reserves w/ the Fed. Add regulation to this & u see why they hoard liquidity vs lending out.

Data was OK out of the US but weak elsewhere & so USD strong despite cut!
Back to this rage for standing repo facility (see my earlier thread on how the Fed works etc). Let's look at reserves at the Fed: Currently USD1.39trn, down from peak of 2.73trn or a -1.34trn. The Fed currently pays 1.8% for required reserves & excess reserves.

Chart & table👇🏻
Fed write-up on why it needs a SRF:

*Reserves >1trn & much more than pre 2008 (~20bn) but Basell III & Dodd-Frank regulations cause a large demand for high-quality liquid assets (HQLA)
*SRF helps convert treasuries to reserves to help overnight repo

Here is a report from the World Bank on China (I used to work there before I moved to HK):

openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/hand…
Look this chart (btw private sector in China is very efficient & productive & profitable compared to state sector). That said, want to see what happened to them lately & why they are not investing? Yep, not good for future growth - SOE share of credit rising while POE declines
Divergence of growth not just in terms of ownership (access to credit tilted towards the SOEs) but also the size. Look at the abnormally low access to credit by small firms relative to other BRIC & developed & world:

Morning, flash PMI day (prelim Sep figures for). Eyes on Germany's manu - was low at 43.5 in August & expectations are at 44. The Eurozone markets expect a tiny PMI bounce.

In Asia, we got Singapore CPI which to be sub 1% for core & will motivate the MAS to keep a competitive FX
Singapore is the only country in APAC that targets the nominal exchange rate (NEER). It doesn't mean it doesn't care for interest rates like the SIBOR (SOR will likely be altered given the transition out of LIBOR by 2021) but it means that the policy statement is SNEER focused.
Let me explain in layman term what this means: weighted index & weights based trade relationship. Let's imagine that Singapore trades only w/ Malaysia & China & it's 40% & 60% of total trade. An index would be:
SNEER = MYR*.4 + CNY*.6
In reality SNEER is made of of a lot of pairs

1/ I read today’s @NYTimes piece on #Opportunity Zones. A few thoughts: nytimes.com/2019/08/31/bus…
2/First reaction: it's impossible to say that Opportunity Zones have been a “Bonanza” for anyone. We are in *such* early days. Opportunity Zone funds will not have any returns for ten years, minimum (this was intentional, it’s patient capital!)
3/ The narrative that a “wave of developments” is happening is not yet true. Opportunity Zone funds across the country have raised less than 10% of their goals. It is a new market and most people are very cautious.

1/ Years ago a friend of mine, Matthew Trueman, roughed out a story about Spirit and Opportunity trying to find each other before their batteries run out. He gave me his permission to post it. It's extraordinary #Opportunity #ThanksOppy

I can’t believe I’m crying over a small, exhausted robot that metaphorically breathed its last about eight months ago being declared dead. No, scratch that, I absolutely can. #Opportunity
Spirit and Opportunity, the @MarsRovers of our hearts, were with me since they launched in 2003. They kickstarted my fascination with space, and by proxy with science and engineering.
When I was 11 or 12 I would spend hours poring over sheets of graph paper or Google SketchUp drawings where I carefully designed and rendered my own Mars rover. I even built a mock-up robotic arm out of scrap wood, tin flashing, and wingnuts.

I was born & raised in #Medellin Colombia, an amazing & vibrant city in the middle of the mountains.

Please do not mention #Narcos or #Escobar when you hear Medellin!

Medellin is much more than that #eternalspring #innovation #Entrepreneurship #mountains #coffee #greatpeople

Tom Brady chugging beer story...

Day after Christmas 2010, week 16, we absolutely smoked the Bills and clinched the AFC East. This was one of the rare occasions while I was with the Patriots where I got playing time (starters benched in the 4th, we lead by 31)...
While celebrating the win (of the game and division) in the locker room, we were informed we couldn’t take off/land due to a blizzard slamming the Boston area. Also, with the influx of game day visitors, hotel shortages forced us to seek accomodations in Rochester, NY...
Matt Light (OT/instigator/social butterfly) rallied the troops as soon as we arrived in Rochester, and the offensive line descended on a BBQ joint named “Dinosaur B-B-Que”. We ordered some ribs, wings, meat, and beer...
