The latest issue of 13D Research & Strategy's flagship publication - What I Learned This Week - delves into some very interesting topics:   ·         #Water: More than ever, the world’s most-common resource is its most precious #commodity. This week, we officially launch the 13D Water Index and include it in the high-conviction ideas portfolio. ·         The reasons why investors should be prepared for bond #yields to increase in a #recession or market crash. The curse of Hobson’s choice: with fewer avenues to generate nominal #GDP growth and a higher risk of financial-market destabilization, the #Fed’s options are increasingly limited. ·         The ongoing battle over age restrictions for #smartphones and #socialmedia platforms reveals a murky world of corporate manoeuvring and hidden #agendas. ·         The longer that #goldmining stocks languish, the greater the likelihood that other miners will buy them at a big premium ·         Do you suffer from #anxiety, stage fright, guilt, grief, #phobias, #fears, #depression, over stress, deep-seated #trauma? ·         A “dividend culture” is emerging in #Chinese stocks, with new regulations and revamped laws designed to provide more protection for minority investors. Shareholder returns exceeded financing proceeds among A-share companies for the first time ever in 2023. What are the implications? ·         As we have warned, #Europe is accelerating the turn from Atlanticism to Eurasianism. Are we seeing the end of a 500-year cycle? ·         Since independence, #India has shown it is prepared to go to #war to protect #Hindu minorities. Last week, there was a violent coup in #Bangladesh. What are the #geopolitical implications for India and how should investors assess the risks? ·         Was the Fed’s #interestrate cut in 1921 the cause of the boom/bust of the 1920s?

Another Friday, albeit that of a rather eventful week in global markets! For the last many months, 13D Research & Strategy has been constantly highlighting many of the risks playing out across global monetary policy evolution and geopolitical tensions. This week, the latest issue of our publication - 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘞𝘦𝘦𝘬 - delves into some interesting topics across: ·    The knowledge economy is giving way to the “relationship economy,” a new paradigm where #𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀. ·    The 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 #𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆. Kazatomprom's planned 6% output expansion is deceptive and distorts investors’ focus on critical supply-chain concerns that will ultimately drive uranium equities far higher. We reiterate our buy recommendation on the 13D Uranium Index. ·    Sometimes “boring” is the place to be: the Mag-7 lost almost $1 trillion in value at the opening bell this past Monday—an amount almost four times the value of the entire gold-mining sector. As the #Fed sleepwalks into another epic #policy mistake, #𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 #𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴. And gold #miners are in an excellent position to sustain, and expand, their profit-margins. ·    #𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗷𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 #𝗻𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 #𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮’𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 by 2035. The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) became the second-largest shareholder of this nuclear-power generator. How to invest. ·    #𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 #𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲. Technological advancements show that an era of novel treatment in mental healthcare is at hand. (#Neuroscience Renaissance, contd.) ·    An #AI 'Friend' necklace is set to launch in January 2025 as a 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘁 #𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. But psychologists warn that it will exacerbate #isolation and permanently undermine genuine human connection. ·    #Bitcoin Market Update ·    Southeast #Asia could be the place to weather the storm. It is one of the few markets uncorrelated to the US. It is in prime position to benefit from the #𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲. ·    𝗪𝗵𝘆 “𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀” 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 ·    #𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗲 #𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟬𝟬% thereby adding to the heating of the global #climate. A hotter climate, in a self-reinforcing feedback loop, is increasing methane emissions from natural sources like wetlands and permafrost. Implications? ·    Lessons for today from #JesseLivermore.

This Friday, 13D Research & Strategy's flagship publication - What I Learned This Week - delves into some interesting topics across:   ·         We are witnessing an #epidemic of parental #estrangement. What is causing it, and what are the implications? ·         Southeast Asia is emerging as a pivotal hub for #data_center capacity expansion and #semiconductor value-chain growth. Global #technology giants have announced plans to invest over $55 billion in Southeast Asia in these technologies starting in 2023. How to invest. ·         The world is currently experiencing the largest outbreak of #avian #influenza in history. The risks of the current global #bird_flu outbreak infecting humans are rising. Chronic underinvestment in #public_health systems means the world is not ready for the next pandemic. We reiterate our long-term buy on the 13D Public Health Index. ·         Small-cap relative strength has broken out of a three-year downtrend line—is the rebound sustainable? If interest rates keep falling, the bear case for #smallcaps will turn increasingly bullish. And if there is a recession, relative strength will favour the groups that have already lagged. ·         Wall Street’s Greatest Nightmare: Escalating cost of #climate damages could cause global equity losses of 50% or more. Those losses will be permanent without aggressive #carbon abatement. ·         #Trump’s speech at the #Bitcoin conference. What does it mean for America, U.S. #Treasuries and the dollar? ·         #UK equities have begun to outperform. Is it time to buy the UK? ·         A silent bull market in deep-value and high-dividend-yielding Chinese stocks is getting louder (continued). With Chinese interest rates staying lower for longer, the hunt for high-yield stocks will benefit the 13D #China Deep Value & High Dividend Yield Index. ·         #Influence: The #Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B. Cialdini, Ph.D is the classic book on persuasion (contd.). Feel free to reach out in case you would like a free trial to four decades of our insights!
