Global Macro
Last night I sent out a Global Macro piece to inform readers on the shifting dynamics in US - EU relations and how I expect this to affect markets and trades.
I gave my thoughts and revised the trades I see emerging from this.
We were early on this theme with several pieces (Is the Euro here to stay?, Battle for Europa, First Exit etc.) on how the geopolitical was changing. Now it seems many are talking about the end of NATO, unofficial or not.
I wrote this in July ‘23. The setup is the opposite now as Trump 2.0 doesn’t want to continue the conflict, but Europe does — or says it does.
But to be honest, whether Europe wants to continue or not — both the US and the EU want Europe to continue militarisation and increased defence spending.
Emergency Breakout Trade
Last Monday I sent a piece on Hesai Group, a leader in Lidar technology and revised the technical and fundamental setup on the stock.
I am long the stock as of last Monday. The technical picture is very good and the fundamentals are lining up with the technicals. Let’s make some money!
The Daily Philo
We have severely stepped our game on the Philochat, with daily and at times twice-daily updates on events, news flow, market reactions AND trades setting up.
This initiative is us looking to increase the value of Philoinvestor to paid subscribers. Philochat threads are 99% behind the paywall.
Just last week I explained my rationale in going long the Euro and the Yen as I analysed the events live on the Philochat. The threads are behind a paywall but I screenshot some of them below — from February 11th and 12th respectively.
I must add that Shrub over at Shrubstack played this theme amazingly and forewarned his readership early on with this piece, and follow-up pieces later on. 🌳🫡
Philo’s Education & Mindset
Novice investors seem to view “the stock market” as one whole undifferentiated thing that you can either make money, or lose money in. Sometimes their opinions change depending on what others seem to be feel about it at the time 😂
This piece takes that over-simplification and makes it a tad less simply by explaining risk/reward to the reader and other mental models required to understand the setup. 2 minute read.
