Leo entre aliviado y escéptico el último mensaje del maestro. Se le agradece que haya vuelto. Pero a mi particularmente, aunque lo desearía, ya no me cala.He perdido la fe.Estoy mentalmente derrotado.Mientras creía, la fe y la ira me mantenían firme ante la inmensidad del poder de la tormenta. Ahora ya no creo ni en mi intuición, ni en mi criterio, ni en lo que ven mis ojos, ni en lo que dice mi sentido común. Sólo percibo espejismos y monstruos de mi mente que me alejan día a día de la vida, de la realidad y de mi mismo.Soy un loco que ve gigantes donde solo hay molinos y un chaparro simplón que intenta devolverle el celebro seco de tanta vela leyendo libros de caballerías. Necesito justa en la playa con caballero negro que me lleve a casa. Estoy desquiciado, paralizado y seriamente deprimido.Se anuncia tapering.Suben los hactibos. Y los mercaos.Que Dios me ayude porque yo ya no puedo.
La cantidad de acciones de Tesla que Musk podría vender sería aún mayor si se incluyen sus opciones.En septiembre, Musk dijo que paga un tipo impositivo efectivo del 53% por las opciones sobre acciones que ejecuta. Añadió que espera que esa tasa impositiva aumente el próximo año: "se pagará una enorme cantidad en los próximos tres meses debido a las opciones que expiran."
Por último, está el "system failure". No nos importa el porqué, sino el fenómeno. La máquina ha salido del equilibrio a velocidad uniformemente acelerada, generando equilibrios semiestables más descompensados cada vez. Las fuerzas internas no están balanceadas, los estabilizadores ya no funcionan. Los hactibos y mercaos ya no responden a sus factores naturales, sino que los deforma la propia situación de desequilibrio.Alguna de estas cosas, una combinación de ellas o quizá todas. No sé por qué, yo siempre acabo en la última, pero rezo agnósticamente porque se trate "solo" de una Transición Estructural.
China Evergrande, Strapped for Cash, Offloads Its JetsThe heavily indebted property developer sold two Gulfstreams last month as bond payments loomedSINGAPORE— China Evergrande Group raised more than $50 million last month by selling two of its private jets, according to people familiar with the matter, bringing in much needed cash to help avert a default on its U.S. dollar debt.
Ireland's Coveney claims EU ready to suspend Brexit trade deal over UK's Article 16 threatSIMON COVENEY has said that if the UK were to suspend parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol, the EU may move to do the same with the Brexit trade deal.The Irish Foreign Affairs Minister warned that the economic bloc would respond in a “very serious way” if the Government were to trigger Article 16 of the Protocol. Article 16 allows either side to unilaterally suspend parts of the agreement if the deal has caused undue harm to trade.The Protocol – intended to allow access to the EU’s single market via Northern Ireland – has caused issues and border delays as goods have to be checked when they move across the Irish Sea.In July, the Prime Minister said that “all the conditions have been met” to trigger Article 16.It is believed that the UK Government could make such a move later this month, following the conclusion of the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.(...)
China's trade with world surges ninefold after 20 years in WTOBeijing keeps guard on state enterprises to Washington's chagrinBEIJING -- In the 20 years since joining the World Trade Organization, China has increased its foreign trade by ninefold, vaulting ahead of the U.S. to become the top player, but little progress has been made on reforming entrenched state-owned enterprises.Armed with inexpensive labor, China has steadily increased exports by assuming the role of the world factory since joining the WTO in December 2001. It has also increased imports by gradually reducing tariffs.Its exports jumped 870% and imports surged 740% from 2001 to 2020, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. Total trade value surged 810%, far faster than an 180% increase for overall global trade.(...)
What China’s Top-Secret Communist Party Meeting Is All AboutPresident Xi Jinping is huddling his ruling Communist Party one last time before likely defying precedent to secure a third five-year term in power at next year’s twice-a-decade party congress. From Nov. 8 to 11 about 400 men (and a dusting of women), including state leaders, military chiefs, provincial bosses and top academics, will convene at a heavily guarded military hotel in Beijing.Like most things in elite Chinese politics, the agenda is top secret, only to be revealed in a communique afterward — with any squabbling and in-fighting edited out.But there are signals to read. The sixth plenum — as this gathering in China’s five-year political cycle is called — generally focuses on party issues and kicks off a season of political reshuffles. All signs point to Xi issuing a so-called “historic resolution” to cement his power, as he prepares to pull-off the ultimate leadership shake-up and defy the two-term example set by his predecessors, potentially setting himself up to be the country’s leader for life.(...)
How China's US$8-trillion real estate debt could impact us allChina has a culture of real estate investment. The real estate sector makes up 29 per cent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) or approximately US$4.2 trillion. Every year the country begins constructing 15-million new homes — five times as many as the United States and Europe combined. China's housing market, valued at US$52 trillion in 2019, is two times the size of the United States residential market (Li Gan, professor of economics, Texas A&M University,October 2021).(...) Because some Chinese companies and their balance sheets are not publicly available like those in the US or Europe it is impossible to gauge the full impact of these events. However, the manifestations have an uncanny resemblance to the US housing crisis which brought on the worldwide recession of 2008. The resulting real asset bubble China is now facing, many economists say, now casts a shadow to the one in the US.Real estate developers currently dominate China's international high-yield bond market, making up about 80 per cent of its total $197 billion of debt outstanding. Simply put, Chinese real estate companies are that country's largest borrowers in the international financial markets (Goldman Sachs 2021). However, unlike the US Government that bailed out their individual banks and car manufacturing industry, the Chinese Government has not taken that direct approach to the Evergrande developer. It has, on the other hand, negotiated with their large banks to ease credit for home buyers and pumped US$123 billion into their financial system from their central bank.
China Oct exports beat forecasts, offer buffer to slowing domestic economyBEIJING (Reuters) -China’s export growth slowed in October but beat forecasts, helped by booming global demand ahead of winter holiday seasons, an easing power crunch and an improvement in supply chains that had been badly disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
