I have heard people mention that FTSE performed as well as NASDAQ recently, but I could never find that strong "FTSE" or that weak "NASDAQ". Not sure what they really refer to...🤷🏽‍♂️

RT @HiddenValueGems: Probably a buying opportunity 👉🏼 $KSPI

Just adding a word “Russia” and expecting the stock to tank…

I would be more cautious about $FRHC though, which was also subject to a short seller attack and is now +50% from its lows.

"McDonald’s touchscreen kiosks were feared as job killers. Instead, something surprising happened" (CNN)

Kiosks haven't led to job losses because they help expand volume (including w/ upsell) and also because they often don't work

Masayoshi Son on Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates:

“These are one-business guys. I am involved in 100 businesses and I control the entire [tech] ecosystem ... The right comparison for me is Napoleon, Genghis Khan or Emperor Qin. I am not a CEO. I am building an empire" https://t.co/9bdaelbpz5

RT @HiddenValueGems: The latest Memo by @HowardMarksBook on the shortcomings of today's economic plans of the politicians. As someone who has experienced EM policies first-hand, I can attest to these points 👇🏽

➡️"In the world of politics, there can be limitless benefits and something for everyone. But in economics, there are only tradeoffs."

➡️"You can set prices for goods, but you can’t make people produce them."

➡️"Mandating lower prices is generally the least effective way to get them."

➡️"Governments can pass laws designed to encourage or even compel behavior, but in general they can’t mandate economic outcomes. There are so many moving pieces and second-order consequences that governments generally can’t engineer both prosperity and the specific economic outcomes that policymakers may seek."
