, been there done that. I do remember 2007, when China’s stock market skyrocketed with triple digit growth and we’ve started warning clients to take profits. Since Feb, our first calls, market gained another 100% and some clients called us stupid amateurs. What happened next is only a history. Btw, same was back in 1998-1999. This time is different? Heard that many times during my tenure in capital markets and it never ever proved itself. Regarding current madness only time will tell, but what really drive me crazy is the fact that financial theory doesnt apply anymore to asset pricing, fundamentals and asset prices diverge further and further. IMHO, it’s not sustainable, however, nobody will tell you how long that might last.
agree this looks suspicious. But what to do with the suspicions? Shorting is out of question for majority since too risky in my opinion.
1. Going into Utilities? Gold?
2. Holding cash/bonds.
Holding cash opens risk for inflation + missing further market growth.
Weird times..
, personally I put scepticism aside and started more detailed due diligence on crypto funds. There are plenty of them, some act more like index funds, other go both long and short. The main questions are custody and liquidity and for both you can find good options. Thus the conclusion: if you cant explain / understand traditional market rationale / logic / fundamental, why not to explore some alternatives?
Put some thoughts about this discussion during weekend.
For me investing is also being part of something larger. Possibly life quality increase, more happiness, global productivity increase, better healthcare, EVs, etc. Small piece of company represents me this very well + financial benefit of-course :)
Now regarding other alternatives. Alternatives looks far less transformative. Some alternatives i think about(dozens alternatives not tried or not-familiar at all)
1. Gold/Silver(If shit hits the fan). But it does not create value by just sitting around.
2. P2P lending. Not transformative, but serves some purpose. Especially in Lithuania(non-competitive bank market, tight rules).
3. Bitcoin. I don’t see Bitcoin usage increase in any aspect of life, which was expected for many years. Similar behaviour to Gold/Silver - buy and hold. Blockchain as a technology innovation is very slow.
sre you leaning towards funds trading digital coins? Or simple buy and hold option?
Funds could have advantage due small market capitalisation and less competition. Would mind sharing some specific funds?
, funds of course, who trade both long and short. I’m not a fan of b&h. Re usage: take the last big hit - paypal will start accepting it. And that’s already a huge hit (that was one of the reasons for current spike in price).

About the magical word “Sorry”.
No need to wait and wait for all the processes to finally work out, all the details to stand in their place, all the staff to reincarnate into the best customer experience guru ...
Business is a living organism that is constantly changing. And there is a good chance that something bad and unpleasant will happen. It may not solve the issue in principle, but it will certainly alleviate the situation and give a second chance to the already archaic word "Sorry".
Just give it a try. You will be surprised. "Sorry" ...
A lovely idea, but from the managers I have run across "sorry" is indeed an archaic word and as rare as " You're doing so well we are going to double your salary!"
Over the course of my life, I met many managers who held high positions. But I can identify units as true Leaders. In addition to all the qualities, they all had one thing in common. They did not copy others, did not try to play any role. They were all themselves. So my advice to future Leaders is, "First of all, be yourself, go your own path”.
When managing large B2B team in the telecommunications company Bitė, one regularity became clear. The attempt to set daily goals and keep people under control failed.
Weekly goals were then set. The results improved significantly. But real success came when each team member received a monthly goal and absolute freedom.
The test showed that if team members are both smart and reliable, they need to be given as much freedom as possible. Everyone has their good and bad days, habits. Sometimes a whole week can be fruitless, but a few hard days can bring an even better result than expected.
I think long distance is more important in business. And a Leader needs a lot of patience and trust in people.
