Ireland offered massive tax discounts to attract those multinationals. Not sure why the rest of Europe stood for it.

"Buying Index Puts are value destroying"
That's interesting thanks for sharing.
Yeah buying Puts, the time decay can kill you.
As the article mentions, equities actually do well during wars it might be better to buy Calls.
If things go to he'll in a hand basket, typically everything gets sold, as margin calls hit players cash reserves, and the dollar rises.
In 2008, gold lost around 30% and then went on to triple.
There are certainly parallels to the 1930s for sure which is scary and it's scary that we have people in NZ that are supporting those extreme right wing nut jobs.
No worries …things going to be good soon ..if not very good.
Luxon said the other day -
“I am expecting interest rates to very quickly be lowered as a result and get the economy moving and get employment growing as well,"
Dropping interest rates is good as well as bad. Good for borrowers and homeowners. Bad thing is it could lead to next bubble as assets prices are historically high. I like safe heavens in stocks and commodities now. Completely out from hot stocks of today. There are so many crises like retirement crisis, debt crisis and geopolitical issues have not resolved completely. Anyway, hitting all time high again and again means we could see all time low next as the cycle repeats.
