Print this out and stick it on your fridge or on the wall in your office. It will remind you where to park your funds when we have a good entry point. We have had plenty of them recently.
Market rallies 1200 points today as light inflation data hits the airwaves. Even a sniff of lower inflation will get the market feeling jolly. But we can’t break out the champagne yet, I’m afraid. There are still challenges ahead.
It’s all gloom and doom in the house of FTX. There is a litany of reasons this company fell down the well. No board of directors, very poor management, in fact, no real management. Just a hope-for-the-best attitude thinking there would always be an endless pit of funds for anything and everything. Trading could be halted within days. At the time I am writing these withdrawals are still open. Binance offered to help in the bailout, but then quickly thought better of it. FTX has an $8 billion hole. No one would want to touch that in their right mind! Expect more regulation of crypto companies going forward after this mess. And expect cryptos to continue falling before the dust settles.
Next week, I will summarize John’s newsletter which looks at Ten Trends to Bet the Ranch On.
Have a fabulous weekend.
Cheers,
Jacque
