Just used @perplexity_ai (pro) as my city guide in #rome. Prompted it with time range, walking areas, what I want to try on the way(coffee, gelato, etc) near the monuments, and uploaded photos of each one I wanted to know more about. It’s the most flexible and useful city guide. https://t.co/p6ebyXWXid

Oh speaking of Paris fashion week, guess which “luxury” brand isn’t there? Burberry It can’t play with the big boys like Dior or Loewe If you ain’t at Milan, Paris, or NY fashion week, are you really a luxury fashion brand even? $burby

Holy shit AMQ killing it Also don’t talk to me about luxury brands or fashion until you’ve seen at least 20 fashion shows. Anyone who says “oh they’ll sell more clothing!” Is a fucking moron Brands don’t make much margin on clothes. In fact, w the show, it’s a break even.

전체적으로는 크게 비중 실었던 부동산이 별 힘을 못쓰면서 동기간 시장수익률 정도만 간신히 나지 않았나 싶고, 같은 금액을 $QQQ 에 넣은 것 대비는 약간 못하지 않았나 정도의 생각이 있습니다. ㅎㅎ 그래도 4-5루타씩 친 종목들이 있어서 체면은 차린 것 같습니다.

최근에 AI 테마가 local maxima를 지나고 있음을 느끼며 다음 먹거리를 고민하게 되는 시점인데, 마땅한게 안 보이네요. 다음이 언제가 될 지는 모르지만, 무언가 나누고 싶은 재미있는 의견이 생긴다면 언젠가 또 돌아오겠습니다. 다들 성투하세요!

It was inevitable that smart individuals would take advantage of the inflation produced by fiat money. As happened in Germany 1919-1923. But let's not pretend that these private equity gurus have improved economy-wide productivity.

Yes we can be more precise than just saying "bubble": 1. Ponzi finance: widespread borrowing at negative carry 2. Attention cascade: speculation due to new era theory 3. Misperception of the value of an asset 2000s bubble had parts of 2&3 but unlike the Tulip bubble, no debt.

Media has become incredibly foolish. Everyone loves Yunus so the new government must be a step up, right? As effective as the positive PR campaign we saw in media after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Nobody seemed to care.

The idea was the Philippine Stock Exchange. Throughout history, when interest rate decline, fixed income experience loss of income and frequently decide to switch into stocks. That's exactly what's playing out in the Philippines right now.
