Idiots returned to the market, rejoice and buy

And here we have it again. Hysteria renewed, or hysteria v2.0, whatever you name it. Despite cases of the new Omicron variant declining in South Africa hysterics returned to the markets selling everything. Powell didn’t help either this time as he said tapering may start sooner than expected. But don’t worry, his words were to Continue reading →
