No one is a smarter, fiercer fundamental investor than Buffett + team. No one. They have a permanent pool of costless capital. They have access to every imaginable information source.
If alpha based on fundamental investing in public markets doesn’t exist here, it doesn’t exist.
"the largest study to date of acute cardiac outcomes after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or infection, the first to compare the risk of cardiac events between different vaccine products and SARS-CoV2 infection"
"First, there was an increase in the risk of myocarditis
within a week of receiving the first dose of both adenovirus and mRNA vaccines, and a higher increased risk after the second dose of both mRNA vaccines."
Increased myocarditis risk range is 1 to 10 per million doses.
"Second, in the same population, there was a greater risk of myocarditis, pericarditis and cardiac arrhythmia following SARS-CoV-2 infection."
Increased myocarditis risk is 40 per million infections.
Inflation is now common knowledge, which creates an inflation reality regardless of any other economic fundamentals.
Every company will now raise prices. Every worker will now push for higher wages. Whatever your inflation estimates are, they're too low. epsilontheory.com/inflation-and-…
A vaccine-evading, insanely high R0 variant like Omicron is a *political* disaster for every nation that has gone all-in for mass vaccination.
Our failure to develop non-vax Covid mitigation strategies, like universal distribution of effective PPE, is a massive policy mistake.
I am as pro-vax as they come. But it is insane to me that Western gov'ts have put all of their Covid mitigation eggs into the mass vaccination basket, and nothing into universal PPE distribution or air filtration/ventilation retrofits.
Universal PPE distribution does NOT require a mask mandate.
Mask mandates are only for cloth mask theater, where the goal is to curtail the already infected from spreading the virus further.
If I wear effective PPE, I really don’t give a fuck if you choose to go unprotected.
