Dear Traders, The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which tracks Chinese shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, has collapsed for two consecutive days now. Today, in its most volatile trading day ever, it sank 6.6%. This meltdown is primarily due to China’s policy clampdown under the “common prosperity” mantra, more cities being locked down because of Omicron outbreaks, and concerns about the country’s ties with Russia. At the same time, Chinese stocks listed on...

The world’s hope for some sort of a...

Dear Traders, I am writing this email to you as I travel from the southernmost tip of South America (Ushuaia, Argentina) to El Chaltén, a village within Argentina’s Santa Cruz province, which is in the heart of Patagonia.
