The Long Investor
Explains why Gold and Silver are running.
Russia and China would rather buy Gold and Silver while dumping US Dollar
This happened on the same week that the US decided to increase tariffs on China, especially on EV’s
Did the US expect no retaliation?
US bonds will be sold if there is trade war.
China has $3.2 Trillion Dollars in reserve, if they want to destabilise the US Dollar and Bonds, they have this ability.
The US should be very careful with trying to increase a trade war with China, they can’t win.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 CHINA DUMPS $53 BILLION OF U.S BONDS
Following its joint statement with Russia about moving away from a reliance on Western countries, the Chinese government announced it sold at least $53.3 billion worth of U.S bonds.
Swiss economic expert Claudio Grass:
"It is a wise decision to diversify away from USD. Gold has outperformed USD Bonds by 75% since 2021.
In addition, the USD has been used for decades already as a political weapon and with the arbitrary confiscation of assets due to pressure from the US government.
It is obvious that the Western Civilization is being destroyed by their own corrupted and rotten political system."

Super interesting story in the WSJ by Ben Cohen about how in the 90’s Nvidia was 6 months away from bankruptcy until an Ex Sega CEO handed them a lifeline of $5M that changed the course of that company’s history. https://t.co/JG8W66qj9a

The Institutional Limited Partner
X-PE, I’d like your opinion. What ballpark valuation would you assign to this company?
Suits and casual chic men's apparel company (with a positioning similar to Suits Supply). The brand is well regarded by its customers and is a good value for money. Western Europe focused.
€60M revenues / €7.5M EBITDA. Steady 8% CAGR over the last ten years. The only year negative was Covid, 2020 (-€1M Ebitda)
No debt/leverage (net cash approx 1x Ebitda).
Does 95% of business in physical stores.
Light capex for store maintenance or new openings. Current good opportunities to secure prime location at low cost and attractive rents.
It's Sponsor backed with a good management in place. The sponsor is stuck with the end of fund life, and the founding family has retired and would like to cash out.
The company is doing well, but the sector is terrible. Hence, PE firms have a minimal appetite for it.
