Cardano's Robust Whales Hint at Possible 30% Price Rebound

The Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio provides a lens through which Cardano's investment potential comes into focus. At present, the MVRV ratio stands at -10%, indicating a 10% loss for investors who entered the ADA market in the last 30 days. Historical trends suggest that when the MVRV ratio falls within the -8% to 18% range, it often precedes a market rally, positioning ADA within an 'opportunity zone' for investors seeking entry points.

Market data paints a picture of Cardano in recovery, with the altcoin currently trading at $0.53, steadily bouncing back from the 17.61% decline witnessed over the past four weeks. The potential formation of a double bottom pattern, a bullish reversal indicator, suggests the prospect of a 30% rally. Successful rebounding from the $0.51 support level could propel ADA toward the targeted price of $0.68.

However, a note of caution is warranted, as the risk of a downward trend persists. A breach below the $0.51 support line could trigger a potential descent to the $0.43 stop-loss mark, aligning with the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Such a scenario could undermine the current bullish outlook and introduce additional uncertainties into Cardano's short-term trajectory.

In conclusion, Cardano's present positioning, fortified by robust market performance and strategic whale activities, coupled with insights from the MVRV ratio, suggests a potentially bullish trajectory. The cryptocurrency's resilience in maintaining critical support levels and the indications of an opportunity zone within the MVRV ratio hint at the possibility of a significant recovery rally for ADA in the near term.

Insurance companies are making climate risk worse

Tomorrow (November 29), I'm at NYC's Strand Books with my novel The Lost Cause, a solarpunk tale of hope and danger that Rebecca Solnit called "completely delightful."

Conservatives may deride the "reality-based community" as a drag on progress and commercial expansion, but even the most noxious pump-and-dump capitalism is supposed to remain tethered to reality by two unbreakable fetters: auditing and insurance:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community

No matter how much you value profit over ethics or human thriving, you still need honest books – even if you never show those books to the taxman or the marks. Even an outright scammer needs to know what's coming in and what's going out so they don't get caught in a liquidity trap (that is, "broke"), or overleveraged ("broke," again) exposed to market changes (you guessed it: "broke").

Unfortunately for capitalism, auditing is on its deathbed. The market is sewn up by the wildly corrupt and conflicted Big Four accounting firms that are the very definition of too big to fail/too big to jail. They keep cooking books on behalf of management to the detriment of investors. These double-entry fabrications conceal rot in giant, structurally important firms until they implode spectacularly and suddenly, leaving workers, suppliers, customers and investors in a state of utter higgeldy-piggeldy:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/29/great-andersens-ghost/#mene-mene-bezzle

In helping corporations defraud institutional investors, auditors are facilitating mass scale millionaire-on-billionaire violence, and while that may seem like the kind of fight where you're happy to see either party lose, there are inevitably a lot of noncombatants in the blast radius. Since the Enron collapse, the entire accounting sector has turned to quicksand, which is a big deal, given that it's what industrial capitalism's foundations are anchored to. There's a reason my last novel was a thriller about forensic accounting and Big Tech:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865847/red-team-blues

But accounting isn't the only bedrock that's been reduced to slurry here in capitalism's end-times. The insurance sector is meant to be an unshakably rational enterprise, imposing discipline on the rest of the economy. Sure, your company can do something stupid and reckless, but the insurance bill will be stonking, sufficient to consume the expected additional profits.

But the crash of 2008 made it clear that the largest insurance companies in the world were capable of the same wishful thinking, motivated reasoning, and short-termism that they were supposed to prevent in every other business. Without AIG – one of the largest insurers in the world – there would have been no Great Financial Crisis. The company knowingly underwrote hundreds of billions of dollars in junk bonds dressed up as AAA debt, and required a $180b bailout.

Still, many of us have nursed an ember of hope that the insurance sector would spur Big Finance and its pocket governments into taking the climate emergency seriously. When rising seas and wildfires and zoonotic plagues and famines and rolling refugee crises make cities, businesses, and homes uninsurable risks, then insurers will stop writing policies and the doom will become undeniable. Money talks, bullshit walks.

But while insurers have begun to withdraw from the most climate-endangered places (or crank up premiums), the net effect is to decrease climate resilience and increase risk, creating a "climate risk doom loop" that Advait Arun lays out brilliantly for Phenomenal World:

https://www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the-doom-loop/

Part of the problem is political: as people move into high-risk areas (flood-prone coastal cities, fire-threatened urban-wildlife interfaces), politicians are pulling out all the stops to keep insurers from disinvesting in these high-risk zones. They're loosening insurance regs, subsidizing policies, and imposing "disaster risk fees" on everyone in the region.

But the insurance companies themselves are simply not responding aggressively enough to the rising risk. Climate risk is correlated, after all: when everyone in a region is at flood risk, then everyone will be making a claim on the insurance company when the waters come. The insurance trick of spreading risk only works if the risks to everyone in that spread aren't correlated.

Perversely, insurance companies are heavily invested in fossil fuel companies, these being reliable money-spinners where an insurer can park and grow your premiums, on the assumption that most of the people in the risk pool won't file claims at the same time. But those same fossil-fuel assets produce the very correlated risk that could bring down the whole system.

The system is in trouble. US claims from "natural disasters" are topping $100b/year – up from $4.6b in 2000. Home insurance premiums are up (21%!), but it's not enough, especially in drowning Florida and Texas (which is also both roasting and freezing):

https://grist.org/economics/as-climate-risks-mount-the-insurance-safety-net-is-collapsing/

Insurers who put premiums up to cover this new risk run into a paradox: the higher premiums get, the more risk-tolerant customers get. When flood insurance is cheap, lots of homeowners will stump up for it and create a big, uncorrelated risk-pool. When premiums skyrocket, the only people who buy flood policies are homeowners who are dead certain their house is gonna get flooded out and soon. Now you have a risk pool consisting solely of highly correlated, high risk homes. The technical term for this in the insurance trade is: "bad."

But it gets worse: people who decide not to buy policies as prices go up may be doing their own "motivated reasoning" and "mispricing their risk." That is, they may decide, "If I can't afford to move, and I can't afford to sell my house because it's in a flood-zone, and I can't afford insurance, I guess that means I'm going to live here and be uninsured and hope for the best."

This is also bad. The amount of uninsured losses from US climate disaster "dwarfs" insured losses:

https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/hurricanes-floods-bring-120-billion-insurance-losses-2022-2023-01-09/

Here's the doom-loop in a nutshell:

As carbon emissions continue to accumulate, more people are put at risk of climate disaster, while the damages from those disasters intensifies. Vulnerability will drive disinvestment, which in turn exacerbates vulnerability.

Also: the browner and poorer you are, the worse you have it: you are impacted "first and worst":

https://www.climaterealityproject.org/frontline-fenceline-communities

As Arun writes, "Tinkering with insurance markets will not solve their real issues—we must patch the gaping holes in the financial system itself." We have to end the loop that sees the poorest places least insured, and the loss of insurance leading to abandonment by people with money and agency, which zeroes out the budget for climate remediation and resiliency where it is most needed.

The insurance sector is part of the finance industry, and it is disinvesting in climate-endagered places and instead doubling down on its bets on fossil fuels. We can't rely on the insurance sector to discipline other industries by generating "price signals" about the true underlying climate risk. And insurance doesn't just invest in fossil fuels – they're also a major buyer of municipal and state bonds, which means they're part of the "bond vigilante" investors whose decisions constrain the ability of cities to raise and spend money for climate remediation.

When American cities, territories and regions can't float bonds, they historically get taken over and handed to an unelected "control board" who represents distant creditors, not citizens. This is especially true when the people who live in those places are Black or brown – think Puerto Rico or Detroit or Flint. These control board administrators make creditors whole by tearing the people apart.

This is the real doom loop: insurers pull out of poor places threatened by climate disasters. They invest in the fossil fuels that worsen those disasters. They join with bond vigilantes to force disinvestment from infrastructure maintenance and resiliency in those places. Then, the next climate disaster creates more uninsured losses. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Finance and insurance are betting heavily on climate risk modeling – not to avert this crisis, but to ensure that their finances remain intact though it. What's more, it won't work. As climate effects get bigger, they get less predictable – and harder to avoid. The point of insurance is spreading risk, not reducing it. We shouldn't and can't rely on insurance creating price-signals to reduce our climate risk.

But the climate doom-loop can be put in reverse – not by market spending, but by public spending. As Arun writes, we need to create "a global investment architecture that is safe for spending":

https://tanjasail.wordpress.com/2023/10/06/a-world-safe-for-spending/

Public investment in emissions reduction and resiliency can offset climate risk, by reducing future global warming and by making places better prepared to endure the weather and other events that are locked in by past emissions. A just transition will "loosen liquidity constraints on investment in communities made vulnerable by the financial system."

Austerity is a bad investment strategy. Failure to maintain and improve infrastructure doesn't just shift costs into the future, it increases those costs far in excess of any rational discount based on the time value of money. Public institutions should discipline markets, not the other way around. Don't give Wall Street a veto over our climate spending. A National Investment Authority could subordinate markets to human thriving:

https://democracyjournal.org/arguments/industrial-policy-requires-public-not-just-private-equity/

Insurance need not be pitted against human survival. Saving the cities and regions whose bonds are held by insurance companies is good for those companies: "Breaking the climate risk doom loop is the best disaster insurance policy money can buy."

I found Arun's work to be especially bracing because of the book I'm touring now, The Lost Cause, a solarpunk novel set in a world in which vast public investment is being made to address the climate emergency that is everywhere and all at once:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250865939/the-lost-cause

There is something profoundly hopeful about the belief that we can do something about these foreseeable disasters – rather than remaining frozen in place until the disaster is upon us and it's too late. As Rebecca Solnit says, inhabiting this place in your imagination is "Completely delightful. Neither utopian nor dystopian, it portrays life in SoCal in a future woven from our successes (Green New Deal!), failures (climate chaos anyway), and unresolved conflicts (old MAGA dudes). I loved it."

like, the coding of percy's kidnapping would be a great way to incorporate other forms of disability into pjo's conversation. percy missing months of the previous school year and struggling to make up for it so he can graduate on time shows how difficult keeping on top of school is when u have a disability that causes u to miss school. so i'm hoping rick will be more direct abt using this to make a commentary on disability and school in the new triolgy, but i'm not exactly holding my breath.

Rohit Kapoor Swiggy net Worth advice on handling adversity for company growth

Rohit Kapoor, the CEO of Swiggy, shared insightful perspectives with Shradha Sharma, founder and CEO of YourStory, about how companies often reach their zenith through adversity rather than in times of ease.

Reflecting on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kapoor noted that the crisis hit various industries hard, with the hospitality sector being notably affected. For example, OYO, where Kapoor previously served as the global chief marketing officer, saw a dramatic revenue drop of 50-60% due to the nationwide lockdowns implemented to curb the virus's spread, as reported by OYO Founder Ritesh Aggarwal.

Kapoor recounts his time at OYO with a sense of accelerated learning: “I gained a decade’s worth of professional experience in just 3.5 to 4 years at OYO.” He attributes this rapid growth to the extreme circumstances of the pandemic, which necessitated bold and unconventional decision-making. “COVID-19 created an environment where you could make bold, unconventional decisions without facing widespread scrutiny. It was a period when everyone’s strategies were turned upside down,” Kapoor explained.

In addressing challenges, Kapoor leans on straightforward, commonsense solutions. He emphasizes the importance of evaluating situations, considering options, and focusing on practical resolutions. Building a strong team has been a cornerstone of his approach to problem-solving.

Kapoor’s career trajectory has been marked by a series of unconventional roles. He began his professional journey as a medical representative in Kolkata while attending night college at 21. His career then took him to South Africa, where he was involved in developing luxury hotels and acquiring wine companies in Cape Town. “Healthcare entered my life unexpectedly; it wasn’t part of my initial plan,” he reflects.

Before his role at Swiggy, Kapoor was an executive director at Max Healthcare until November 2018. Now, his focus is on personal growth and self-improvement. “I continuously strive to be around people who inspire and uplift me, helping me become a better version of myself,” Kapoor concludes.

Market Overview: Mixed Movements Amidst AI Concerns and Earnings Reports

In a turbulent day for U.S. stock markets, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined by 234 points, or 0.60%, while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite also faced setbacks, falling by 0.7% and 1%, respectively. The downturn was largely driven by mounting concerns over the slowing momentum in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which prompted a sell-off in semiconductor stocks.

AI Concerns Weigh on Chip Stocks

The tech sector, particularly chip stocks, experienced significant pressure. Leading the decline were NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: AVGO), and Wolfspeed Inc (NYSE: WOLF), all of which saw their share prices drop by approximately 2%. The apprehension surrounding AI's slowing progress has rattled investors, leading to a broader sell-off in the semiconductor industry.

Energy Sector Shows Resilience

Amidst the broader market decline, the energy sector displayed notable strength. Targa Resources Inc (NYSE: TRGP), Williams Companies Inc (NYSE: WMB), and Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN) were among the top gainers. Devon Energy, in particular, saw its stock rise following quarterly results that exceeded Wall Street's expectations. This positive performance highlights the sector's resilience despite the overall market volatility.

Major Stock Movements

Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS): Disney's stock fell sharply by 4%, reflecting ongoing concerns about the company’s performance and future prospects.

Shopify (NYSE: SHOP): Contrasting the general trend, Shopify's shares soared nearly 18%, driven by positive developments and investor optimism about its growth potential.

Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB): On the other end of the spectrum, Airbnb's stock dropped 13%, influenced by recent market challenges and potentially disappointing financial metrics.

S&P 500 Earnings Resilience

Despite the recent negative price action and growing recession fears, the earnings resilience of the S&P 500 remains a key highlight. The index's earnings have shown a level of robustness, which could offer some reassurance to investors amidst the current market volatility.

In summary, the market's recent performance underscores the complexity of current economic conditions. While AI concerns and specific sector movements have contributed to market declines, there are areas of strength and resilience, particularly in the energy sector and select stocks like Shopify. As always, investors should stay informed and consider these factors when making decisions.
