One of my partners told me he and his family are off to Phuket next week. I could not help but joked – what a perfectly timed escape from the latest round of market chaos, brought to you by Trump & Co.
As for me? No exotic beaches in sight. I’ll be staying put, stuck with the usual drama and pretending not to hear my phone buzzing every few minutes. If it is really urgent, they can try smoke signals or carrier pigeons.
That said, I will be taking a short weekend break from the markets to recharge and come back (hopefully) refreshed on Monday. Lately, I have been watching way too many YouTube clips on the trade war, macro trends, and geopolitical chess matches. At this point, the algorithm thinks I’m training to become a policy advisor.
Where is the bottom? If I had the answer to that, I would be sipping something warm on top of a sacred mountain, far away from the noise. The truth is, I do not know. No one does.
Have a good weekend!
