Nothing had happened in Anchorage on Aug. 15th. Nothing happened yesterday in Washington DC. Putin, Zelinsky and the European leaders were all relieved : they had avoided Trump taking unwelcome decisions. It was the triumph of empty vagueness and meaningless commitments.

To read AI’s promise from stock rallies was a mistake; to read its emptiness from stock slumps is the same. Markets are mood rings, not microscopes — they reveal sentiment, not truth. AI should be judged on its real advances, not investor psychology.

This is historic: The number of ETFs has surpassed the number of individual stocks for the first time in history. There are now over 4,300 ETFs, roughly 100 more than the 4,200 US-listed companies. The number of ETFs has doubled over the last 8 years. Year-to-date, 640

Russia’s “peace” last night: a massive strike on Kyiv with drones and ballistic missiles. At least 10 killed, 30 injured, many buildings destroyed. The EU Delegation was severely damaged by the shock wave. This is Moscow’s true answer to peace efforts.
