Politics versus Money

Recently, the Dutch FT published an article with an intriguing title: The Republicans say goodbye to Big Money (HFD, translation by LO). The FT published a similar title that day: Donald Trump pledges tax cuts, trade wars and border crackdown. Actually, this development is visible in China, Europe, and USA. It might be the greatest danger for nationalism. In my...

AI’s missing revenues

A mid July 2024 Axios Markets article (see below) suggests that we are getting closer to the burst of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) bubble. That burst will be similar to the burst of the dot.com bubble in early 2000. Also see my related 2023 blog Dot.com bubble vs AI hype.

In my view, my blog title is a universal truth in (all) areas like business,...

Exit strategy (2)

I suppose that every commitment has an exit strategy. In Love, it’s called a breakup. In Knowledge, it’s about cancellations of contracts (eg, business, divorce, subscriptions). In Power, it’s about the exit of a member (eg, Brexit, Congress, NATO). Also see part 1 of this blog (2021). The idea for part 2 is the increasing sentiment for ending the (financial and...
