Comment about the postpone of certain goods 10% tariffs

When the market opens early in the morning, it went down slightly. Suddenly, the indexs went surging. In less then 15 miutes, the S&P 500 climbed almost 2 pct. It was so astonishing, so I check the news and found the headline is, the USTR has removed some items from the tariff list, also determined that the tariff should be delayed to December 15 for certain articles. These items are mainly consumer goods. That's why the AAPL stock were madly rising.

I think it just indicate it is not easy to win the trade war for the Trump administration. First, President Trump always regards the rise of the stock market as his own political achievements. As the trade war intensifies, the financial market has great pressure to go down. Secondly, if he increase the tariffs, inevitablely, the prices of almost all goods will rise, that means the inflation rate will get higher, then why the FED would cut the rate then?

In the Central Coast area north of Sydney, there is a beautiful and famous town called The Entrance, which has the title of "Australian Pelican Capital". What makes a town so honored? The reason is these cute toucans. Every afternoon, the pelicans fly here from near and far, and there are no obstacles 365 days a year. As soon as 3:30, a staff member will push a large box full of fish to the small square where the pelicans gather, and the pelicans have long been eager to wait. This white-haired grandpa came to feed today. I saw the grandfather skillfully put on rubber gloves, while taking a fish out of the box and throwing it at the pelican, he interacted with the onlookers and introduced the knowledge of the pelican. The noise of the pelicans competing for the fish and the exclamation of the onlookers crowded into one, the atmosphere was warm. A clever pelican s...

Low risk, high reward: the asymmetric black swan trade

Cornwall Capital was founded in 2003 by two young people who were not in the mainstream - Charlie Ledley, and Gammy Mak. I say they were out of the mainstream because they were not financial professionals from a scientific background, but they were full of imagination, and a keen insight into the market. Their insight is evident in the transactions of First Capital Financial. Case Background Before betting that the subprime mortgage market would collapse, Cornwall Capital first noticed a credit card business company, First Capital Financial. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, First Capital Financial claimed that it had better tools than other firms for analyzing the creditworthiness of subprime credit card users and pricing the risk of lending to them, and the market bought that claim. But in July 2002, First Capital Financial's stock fell 60% in two days after the company voluntarily disclosed a disagreement between them and two government regulators: How much capital did they ...
