There's a chip shortage, if you believe the government. I don't: anyone can just head on down to their local grocery store and grab a big helping of Doritos. Wait, I guess those are out of stock. Tostitos, then? Nope, those too. Shit. Well, I can still get store brand.

Now, a lot of industrial analysts and professional "told-you-sos" are going to be really insufferable about this whole thing. They are going to tell us that they warned about the dangers of outsourcing our entire industrial production and way of life to a foreign country. And to that I say: it was cheaper this way.

There's still something that we can't outsource, though, and that's busted-ass shit piled up in our junkyards. It's our greatest resource. Foreign junkyards are too expensive to ship parts to us. In fact, foreign countries need our broken cars. They order barges full of them, so that they can melt them down and turn the constituent materials into useful stuff for normal people.

That's why I'm here today, speaking in my capacity as an amateur economist, urging us not to send our ruined cars away. If we can keep them all here, especially the critically important 1976 to 1980 Plymouth Volares and Dodge Aspens, then we can achieve self-reliance through the power of carburetors, Slant Sixes, and lean burn. No microchips needed, nor would they tolerate such a chaotic electrical environment. And mechanics, long idled by efficient modern cars, would get put back to work, installing semi-truck turbochargers from those very same junkyards onto our F-bodied daily drivers.

We used to be good at bad ideas. Now we're bad at good ideas. It's time to go back to being a bunch of degenerate greaseballs covering our lawns in the shattered wrecks of our proudest Malaise Era warm rods.

Are you getting prepared?  Right now, millions of Americans are stockpiling food and supplies in anticipation of what they believe is coming.  People are on edge due to the approaching election, the rapidly escalating war in the Middle East, the alarming natural disasters that we have been witnessing all around the world, and the potential for another great global pandemic.  In all my years, I have never seen more concern about the next 12 months as I am seeing at this moment.  There is a growing consensus that major history changing events are about to happen, and there are lots and lots of people that want to be well prepared.  In fact, Newsweek has reported that “doomsday prepping” has become a 2.46 billion dollar industry…

The once-fringe act of doomsday prepping is evolving into a booming $2.46 billion industry, tapping into a societal pulse of self-reliance amidst a world of uncertainties. Whether driven by the aftershocks of a post-COVID-19 environment, supply-chain disruptions, natural calamities, or geopolitical tensions, the narrative of disaster preparedness is shifting from the outskirts of society to mainstream households.

When I was growing up, I never once heard the words “prepper” or “prepping”.

But now a very large portion of the population is actively preparing for the collapse of society.

According to numbers that come from FEMA, approximately 20 million Americans have prepared well enough to be able to be on their own for at least a month…

According to an analysis of Federal Emergency Management Agency data, some 20 million Americans can withstand a full month of self-reliance. Within that number, there are those who identify as part of “preppers” communities online, which include enthusiasts stocking up on years’ worth of supplies or building bunkers.

Of course being prepared to survive for one month is not going to be nearly good enough to survive what is eventually coming.

But at least it is something.

Making Money w/ Charles Payne - Fox Business February 27, 2024

Charles and Jeff discuss Fed rate cuts, March and election year seasonality, and four stocks on Jeff's radar.

Path To Fed’s 2% Target Is Quite Optimistic

The path to the Fed’s stated 2% target is a quite optimistic 0.1% or less monthly change. If that ends up being Thursday’s PCE reading, the 12-month rate will be 2.1%. Any monthly change greater will likely only further delay the Fed. Unless January’s PCE is surprisingly lower, I still do not expect the Fed to begin cutting rates until at least around mid-year and likely later.

Beware Ides of March

Stock prices have had a propensity to decline, sometimes rather precipitously, during the latter days of the month. Late March gains in 2009 and 2020 improved 2nd half March performance. March Triple-Witching Weeks have been quite bullish in recent years. But the week after is the exact opposite, DJIA down 22 of the last 36 years—and often down sharply. “Beware the Ides of March” this year also coincides with the seasonal decline during presidential election years where the sitting president is running.

Support Levels to Watch

S&P 500: 4800 old ATH and 4600 near summer 2023 highs.

Stocks I like here on a dip:

Reliance ($RS): Making steel and metal for all the industrial, tech and infrastructure growth.

United Health ($UNH): Everyone is going to still need lots of healthcare.

Assurant ($AIZ): Insurance juggernaut in mobile device, electronics, and appliances as well as homeowner, property, fire, hazard, liability, etc

EMCOR ($EME): Construction behemoth building out the data centers, semiconductor fabricators and biotech facilities.

the thing about the pen pals kickstarter is I Really Would Love For It To Succeed but I’m staring at it like. oh. boy. and obviously I’m speaking as someone with no experience or stakes but like what I feel is kickstarter projects from the 1k-50k, those can be successful from pre-existing smaller fanbases and/or word of mouth, those can be successful by relying on talent/skill/etc over marketing, but anything around and over 100k Needs The Marketing Component Full Stop, like either marketing or having higher industry-level tiers that make sense (e.g. how some physical games have tiers for stores that’d be stocking them). and it’s especially hard for animation projects because there’s not a lot of that aspect? so like what pritty did was effective because they had a lower goal of 50k for the animatic, and stretch goals for a more complete end result, but even if they didn’t hit those goals (and they didn’t) they’d still have something to work with (plus, it’s easier to get backers for completed projects because folks feel more secure in knowing that regardless of stretch goals there’s gonna be Something). but if you gotta have a really high goal there has to be a LOT of prep beforehand and a LOT of stuff during the campaign to keep it relevant, like. this is EXACTLY the time to be manipulative and full marketing brain. like for at least one or two months, posting fanart for really popular shows to get followers, and during that time posting stuff for the characters of the kickstarter to get people who came for the fanart to at least have context for the original characters, posting during the campaign stuff that folks would be more inclined to share like character profiles (and especially goofy comics) with links to the kickstarter, coordinating with other folks involved with the project for them to post for their audience, like. FULL MARKETING BRAIN. like you revive ALL socials months in advance if you’re trying to get 100k otherwise there’s way too much reliance on luck. ok I’ve gotten that off my chest

Businesses close to Modi and his political circle have done especially well. The most prominent examples are Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries and the Adani Group, conglomerates that reach into numerous areas of Indian life. Their combined market power has grown gigantic in recent years: The flagship stocks of each company are worth about six times more than they were when Modi became prime minister. Some smaller companies have been the target of high-profile raids by tax-enforcement agencies. "If you’re not the two A’s” — Adani or Ambani — it can be treacherous to navigate India’s regulatory byways, said Arvind Subramanian, an economist at Brown University who served under Modi’s government as chief economic adviser from 2014 to 2018. "Domestic investors feel a little bit vulnerable,” he added.

Argentina and Brazil propose a bizarre common currency

Argentina is running out of vaults. With annual inflation nearing 100%, as the central bank prints bills to cover the government’s fiscal deficit, local banks are making space for ballooning stocks of pesos. Officials have tightened capital controls. Imports are at a standstill. The government is going through the motions with the imf to avoid its tenth sovereign default since independence in 1816. Yet on January 22nd Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Brazil’s president, and Alberto Fernández, his Argentine counterpart, announced they would start preparations for a common currency, possibly leading to a full currency union, which would hitch South America’s biggest economy to one of its sickest.

The idea has a history. First came the “gaucho”, a currency meant to replace Brazil’s cruzado and Argentina’s austral until the concept was abandoned amid economic turmoil in 1988. On its heels was a proposal by members of Mercosur, a trade alliance, to adopt a common currency, and sucre, an experiment led by Venezuela, which had ambitions to reduce the continent’s reliance on the dollar. Since it is prone to selling foreign reserves to prop up the peso, Argentina is always short of dollars to settle loans and pay for imports. A joint currency would create alternative reserves and make neighbourly trade easier. Brazil is Argentina’s largest trading partner. By supporting the idea Lula, as Mr Silva is known, gets a reputational boost from being seen to revive regional co-operation.

That, at least, is the case for the idea. The case against is daunting. A full union, with a joint central bank, would surely crumble. Economists judge how well countries fit in a currency union using criteria devised by Robert Mundell, a Canadian economist, that measure economic similarities. Normally, central bankers tailor interest rates to individual economies; in a union, one rate has to do for them all. Policy rates in Argentina and Brazil are an astonishing 61 percentage points apart. Their business cycles are wildly out of sync as their main exports—agriculture and industrial commodities, respectively—are affected by different global headwinds. Argentina’s problems make its downturns deeper and booms shorter and shallower.

what are your political views like?

well i guess ill say im an apocalyptic communist lol. in that i believe capitalism will kill us all and we will never achieve revolution because society is collapsing so quickly that the damage cannot be undone, and there is no hope of salvation long-term, only revenge against the owning class.

i think we have at best about 20 years until civilization collapses globally. of course, societal collapse happens everywhere all the time. but climate change, the decline of oil, and ongoing disease/famine have locked us into a global death by 1000 cuts situation where it will be a long, slow trip through the meat grinder. there are too many moving parts for all of it to be fixed. even without climate change, we're running out of oil, and the entire reason our population boomed since the industrial revolution has been our reliance on petrochemical fertilizer to grow food. once the oil runs out (which is happening soon) billions of people will starve to death very quickly. then theres also pollution, microplastics, soil nutrient depletion, ocean overfishing, etc. in short, WE ARE FUCKED.

i think the best thing an individual can do is not have children. less babies being born means less people doomed to suffer in this future we've made for ourselves. we will not make it to space. we will not achieve immortality. we will not achieve full automation. if any of those things are accomplished, they will be reserved for the rich. life is only going to get worse from here on out.

ever play disco elysium? its a great game. it also has a great metaphor for widespread collapse through its concept of the pale. disco elysium is a game about politics, praxis, and failed revolutions, and all of the political stuff begins to feel stupid when you realize the apocalyptic pale, an entropic force slowly covering the planet, is going to kill everyone very soon anyway. thats basically how i feel at this point. capitalism and imperialism (the two go hand in hand) got us to this point, and regardless of what we do, we are fucked. dont have kids, dont invest in stocks, dont participate in the system more than you have to in order to survive, dont turn on your fellow workers, and wreak absolute havoc on the bourgeoisie wherever and whenever you can.

Small-Cap vs Large-Cap Mutual Funds: A Comprehensive Guide

When it comes to building a diversified investment portfolio in India, one of the key decisions you’ll need to make is whether to invest in small-cap or large-cap mutual funds. Both offer unique advantages, but the right choice depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon..

What are Mutual Funds?

The Basics of Mutual Funds

Mutual funds pool money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. Professional fund managers handle the investments, aiming to generate returns in line with the fund’s objective. In India, mutual funds are a popular way for investors to participate in the stock market without directly buying stocks.

Different Types of Mutual Funds

Mutual funds come in different varieties, such as equity funds, debt funds, and hybrid funds. This article will focus on equity mutual funds, specifically small-cap and large-cap funds, which invest primarily in shares of companies listed on Indian stock exchanges.

Understanding Market Capitalization

What is Market Capitalization?

Market capitalization, or market cap, is the total value of a company’s outstanding shares in the stock market. It is calculated by multiplying the share price by the number of outstanding shares. In India, companies are classified into different categories based on their market capitalization: small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap.

Categories of Market Capitalization

Small-Cap

Small-cap companies have a market capitalization of up to ₹5,000 crore. These companies are typically in the early stages of growth and have significant potential for expansion, but they are also more volatile and risky.

Large-Cap

Large-cap companies have a market capitalization of more than ₹20,000 crore. These are well-established companies with a long history of stable performance. In India, companies like Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, and TCS are examples of large-cap companies.

What are Small-Cap Mutual Funds?

Characteristics of Small-Cap Mutual Funds

Small-cap mutual funds invest primarily in companies with smaller market capitalizations. These funds target companies that are still in the growth phase and may have higher potential for long-term gains. However, since these companies are less established, small-cap funds tend to be more volatile and can fluctuate widely based on market conditions.

Risk and Rewards of Small-Cap Funds

The biggest attraction of small-cap mutual funds is their potential for higher returns. Since small-cap companies are in their growth stage, they have the potential to grow quickly, offering significant returns to investors. However, these funds come with higher risk, as smaller companies are more likely to be affected by market downturns or economic challenges.

For example, a small-cap company with a market capitalization of ₹3,000 crore could double in value over a few years, giving substantial returns. On the flip side, such companies can also lose value rapidly if the market conditions turn unfavorable.

What are Large-Cap Mutual Funds?

Characteristics of Large-Cap Mutual Funds

Large-cap mutual funds invest in well-established companies with a large market capitalization. These companies are industry leaders and have a long track record of performance, making large-cap mutual funds more stable and less risky compared to small-cap funds.

Risk and Rewards of Large-Cap Funds

Large-cap funds are generally less volatile and more predictable than small-cap funds. While they may not offer the same explosive growth potential, they provide steady returns over time. For instance, investing in a large-cap mutual fund focused on companies like Infosys or ITC would generally offer stable returns even during periods of market uncertainty.

Investors can expect consistent, though moderate, returns from large-cap funds, making them suitable for those seeking long-term wealth creation without too much risk.

Comparing Small-Cap and Large-Cap Mutual Funds

Growth Potential

Small-cap mutual funds generally offer higher growth potential than large-cap funds, as they invest in companies that are still expanding. If you're willing to take on more risk, small-cap funds could yield higher returns.

Risk Factor

Small-cap funds are inherently riskier, as these smaller companies are more sensitive to economic fluctuations. Large-cap funds, on the other hand, tend to be more stable, with lower risks due to the maturity and market position of the companies they invest in.

Volatility

Small-cap funds are far more volatile compared to large-cap funds. A market correction can drastically impact small-cap stocks, whereas large-cap stocks are usually more resilient and less affected by short-term fluctuations.

Liquidity

Large-cap mutual funds are generally more liquid, meaning that it's easier to buy and sell shares without significantly affecting the stock price. Small-cap stocks, on the other hand, can be less liquid, which means they may experience larger price fluctuations when traded.

Investment Horizon

Small-cap mutual funds are typically recommended for investors with a long-term horizon of 7 to 10 years, as they need time to realize their growth potential. Large-cap funds, on the other hand, can be a good fit for both short-term and long-term investors due to their stability.

Which Should You Choose?

For Aggressive Investors

If you are an aggressive investor with a high risk appetite and a long-term investment horizon, small-cap mutual funds may be a better choice. They offer higher returns but come with increased volatility.

For Conservative Investors

If you're a conservative investor who prefers stability and lower risk, large-cap mutual funds are a better option. They offer steady growth and are less susceptible to market volatility, making them a safer investment choice.

Performance Over Time: Historical Trends

Historical Performance of Small-Cap Funds

Historically, small-cap funds have delivered higher returns during bullish markets in India. For example, in a growing market, a small-cap mutual fund could deliver annual returns of 15%–20% or more. However, during a market downturn, these funds may suffer significant losses.

Historical Performance of Large-Cap Funds

Large-cap funds have consistently delivered stable returns, generally in the range of 8%–12% annually. During periods of market volatility, large-cap funds tend to perform better than small-cap funds due to the stability of the companies they invest in.

Tax Implications of Small-Cap and Large-Cap Funds

In India, capital gains from mutual funds are taxed based on the duration of the investment. For both small-cap and large-cap mutual funds:

Short-term capital gains (STCG): If units are sold within one year, the gains are taxed at 15%.

Long-term capital gains (LTCG): If units are sold after one year, gains over ₹1 lakh are taxed at 10% without indexation benefits.

Key Points to Consider Before Investing

Risk Appetite: Consider how much risk you're comfortable taking.

Investment Horizon: Small-cap funds suit long-term investors, while large-cap funds can work for both short- and long-term goals.

Market Trends: Keep an eye on market conditions before investing.

Diversification: A mix of both small-cap and large-cap funds can offer a balanced portfolio.

Conclusion: Finding the Right Balance for Your Portfolio

In the end, the choice between small-cap and large-cap mutual funds depends on your individual financial goals and risk tolerance. A well-balanced portfolio could include both types of funds, allowing you to benefit from the growth potential of small-cap companies while enjoying the stability of large-cap firms. Consulting a financial advisor can also help you make the best choice tailored to your needs.

FAQs

Are small-cap funds riskier than large-cap funds?

Yes, small-cap funds are riskier due to the volatile nature of small companies. Large-cap funds are generally more stable.

Can I invest in both small-cap and large-cap mutual funds?

Yes, many investors choose to invest in both to balance high growth potential with stability.

Which type of fund performs better during economic downturns?

Large-cap funds tend to perform better during economic downturns because of the stability and financial strength of the companies they invest in.

How do I know which mutual fund is right for me?

Consider your risk tolerance, investment goals, and time horizon when choosing between small-cap and large-cap funds. Consulting a financial advisor can also provide personalized guidance.

What is the role of a financial advisor when choosing between small-cap and large-cap funds?

A financial advisor can help assess your risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial goals to recommend the best mix of small-cap and large-cap funds for your portfolio.

Professor Miguel Artur: How Can the Brazilian Stock Market Seek Breakthroughs Amid Global Economic Recession?

With major economies facing sluggish growth and recession risks, the Brazilian central bank recently raised interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the benchmark rate to 10.75%. Professor Miguel Artur notes that this decision reflects the dual considerations of Brazil in addressing domestic inflation and external economic pressures. In stark contrast to the 50 basis points rate cut of the Federal Reserve, the interest rate hike of Brazil is a response to inflationary pressures, but it poses new challenges for the stock market. Professor Miguel Artur states that while interest rate hikes can help curb inflation in the short term, they also mean higher financing costs and increased risks of economic slowdown for stock market investors. Particularly with the Ibovespa index already at elevated levels, investors should exercise greater caution and adopt necessary risk management strategies. The Multiple Impacts of Rate Hikes on the Brazilian Stock Market Professor Miguel Artur points out that while the rate hike of the central bank may alleviate inflation pressures, this decision is not favorable from a stock market perspective. Higher interest rates increase financing costs, particularly for companies reliant on credit expansion, which will face greater financial strain. He further analyzes that although the economy of Brazil appears relatively robust, the increasing global economic uncertainty may gradually reveal the dampening effects of higher rates on domestic consumption and investment. Additionally, the rate hike could lead to a stronger Brazilian real against the dollar, especially in the context of the rate cuts of the Fed. This scenario puts additional pressure on the export sector of Brazil. Professor Miguel Artur explains that the reliance of Brazil on commodity markets, such as iron ore and oil exports, will face significant challenges due to weakened global demand and a rising exchange rate. As a result, the Ibovespa index may experience adjustments in the short term due to market sentiment fluctuations, prompting investors to closely monitor global market changes and strategically allocate assets to manage risks.

In the current circumstances, Professor Miguel Artur advises investors to adopt defensive investment strategies by reducing allocations to highly leveraged companies and focusing on those that can maintain stable cash flows in a high-interest-rate environment. Additionally, the technical indicators for the Ibovespa index have shown signs of reaching a peak, suggesting that a market correction may occur in the short term. Investors should establish clear stop-loss points to ensure effective risk management amid market fluctuations. Strategic Responses to Global Economic Pressures and the Brazilian Stock Market With the Federal Reserve cutting rates while the Brazilian central bank raises them by 25 basis points, Professor Miguel Artur emphasizes that this policy divergence reflects the necessity of Brazil to implement a tightening monetary policy to combat inflation. However, in the long term, this move may exacerbate market volatility and exert pressure on the stock market. Simultaneously, global economic uncertainty presents new challenges for capital flows in emerging markets. Professor Miguel Artur notes that while the rate cuts of the Federal Reserve may attract some capital into Brazil and other emerging markets, there remains a strong risk-averse sentiment among international investors. Concerns over economic prospects lead them to favor low-risk assets. Thus, while the Brazilian stock market may attract some capital post-rate hike, the pressures of the global economy could limit the scale and sustainability of such inflows. Professor Miguel Artur advises investors to focus more on the long-term performance of industries and the stability of company fundamentals when navigating changes in the Brazilian stock market. The financial sector and essential consumer goods may perform relatively well in a high-interest rate environment, while the commodity sector should be wary of the dual risks posed by weak global demand and exchange rate fluctuations. Given the complexity of the current market environment, investors need to adopt flexible investment strategies and diversify to mitigate overall risk. Future Outlook for the Brazilian Stock Market and Investment Recommendations Looking ahead, Professor Miguel Artur believes that the Brazilian stock market will exhibit a complex trajectory influenced by both global economic pressures and domestic policy environments. Investors must pay closer attention to market volatility and adopt defensive investment strategies in this context. In light of the global economic slowdown, the export sector of Brazil, especially in commodities—may face greater challenges. Weak global demand will suppress the economic growth of Brazil, while exchange rate volatility further elevates operational costs for companies. Professor Miguel Artur notes that the financial markets of Brazil will encounter more uncertainty under such external conditions, particularly for enterprises reliant on foreign markets, which will experience greater impacts. To navigate this situation, Professor Miguel Artur recommends that investors maintain rationality and avoid blindly chasing highs. The Ibovespa index has already shown technical signs of reaching a peak, and a correction may occur in the short term. Investors should consider diversifying their portfolios to avoid excessive concentration in any single industry or company. Specifically, he suggests focusing on financial and essential consumer goods sectors that typically perform well during economic downturns. Investors must remain vigilant and implement robust risk management strategies. Professor Miguel Artur emphasizes that adapting flexibly to market fluctuations, strategically allocating assets, and diversifying risks are crucial for achieving investment success in the current complex environment.
