Europe for me went belly up around the year 2000
Prior to that from the late 70s to 2000 Europe was about 85% of my total sales.

Now from today my merchant sent me this....

Paypal is selling all their stinky (maybe) buy now, pay later receivables to OWL.

Does OWL know something?? $7 BILLION. The heck???
Sadly I found out today that most of PayPal purchases from my store are buy now and pay later which never was a thing...
It's that bad. PayPal is also my merchant account which does offer me a better deal then the other merchant accounts.

So I wonder what was the total estimated gain OWL hopes with this?
 
Every morning I wake up and some mag7 has thrown $100B at a has been that is failing or a start up I have never heard of. Meanwhile after 25bps cut the dollar is up and the 10 year is 14 bps up from its low 10 days ago.

I don't think the bull is done, but hedges show attractive convexity so I bought some today.
 
Mag7 driving everything up, Up and UP….. 📈 ☝️

I still believe the Jenga Tower comes crashing down on the current administration running the ongoing Puppet Show.
There’s a few I talk to by PM and say how I believe things will play out with so many problems around the globe.

Have some cash on the sidelines for unexpected buying opportunities.

Translated, they overbuilt capacity by incorrect assumptions regarding the EV industry. Almost all companies did, except China that can turn these things out like Bic Lighters, even China, there is oversupply.
German production, including cars, are no longer sustainable at current levels without the cheap energy from Russia. Add to that the blowback from hostile EU relationship with China and you get this. Germany is de-industrializing rather rapidly and will likely move production to the USA where energy is cheap.

Maybe they shouldn’t have closed down their nuclear reactors? I wonder why they did that? Russian influence campaign maybe?🤷‍♂️

The Germans are obsessed with renewable energy, and have been for a while. The government at the time used the Fukushima disaster to shut down nuclear power.
 
For the last decade or more one of Germany's biggest exports has been industrial machinery. So German machine builders have been shipping equipment so Chinese EV companies can make EV's and sell them in Europe.

I was there a year ago and people told me that Chinese EV's are very popular because there half the price of traditional Euro EV, and just as nice - its a no brainer they told me.

There going through the same process the US Midwest went through 30 years ago.
