I love how Vice-President @jdvance1.bsky.social called @ec.europa.eu Commissioners "Commissars" - like Stalin's.

It's accurate.

#ECB cuts are necessary (trade war, etc…) but the problem is - Europe needs to spend enormous sums of money on defense to become strategically autonomous, and to catch up on technology.

So European sovereign long ends are still likely to experience a sell off eventually.

President Trump's virtual remarks at the Davos conference shed some light on his foreign policy agenda.

Perhaps because of my past working in the field, I focused on his comments on the 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗨 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆.

I found the comments accurate.

Assad is toast. Russian and Iranian friends won’t bail him out this time around.

The Commission is finally planning to cut some its wasteful foreign "embassies" apparatus, an idiotic duplication of EU member states diplomatic presence, built to feed yet more bureaucrats.

Please get it done.

Good job, #MichelBarnier. Utterly mediocre politician, could only thrive in an utterly mediocre city like #Brussels.

Macron appointed him because no one else would take the job, and it ended, predictably, with Barnier's demise.

Next.

I vehemently disagree with this piece. Retail access to #privatemarkets is crucial to allow a full democratization of financial markets.

The #illiquidity = risky equivalence is an antiquated approach to investing.

The #SEC is behind the curve.
