General Comment The funny thing about February 2020 is to do with human nature I guess. Until the end of the month we have been updated by numbers coming from China, reporting mounting amount of people catching a disease, a new virus. We even gave it a name “new Corona Virus” and all seemed clean… Read More February 2020
General Comment New Year was rather uneventful as our kid was sick we spent the night at home, just the three of us, which was rather nice I have to say. Kick off on the new semester was rather positive, we even managed to “book” daycare for our son starting September… Yes that’s the bad… Read More January 2020
What better picture than one of the most famous Banksy out there to salute year 2019? General Comment Well, well… 2019 was quite a great year for stock markets and generally all things financial, it’s in the numbers and it’s now in history. If you follow my ramblings a little you’d know by now that… Read More 2019 – “Year End Finale”
General Comment Let’s start with the picture as usual.. Our son, Leonardo, turned 1! It’s quite incredible how one year passed already, despite me pretending not to notice, time is passing faster now, it means that I am getting older… There are plenty of sings of this, looking back at how my life was without… Read More December 2019
General Comment Oranges. I think this has been the food related highlight of the month, buying oranges and the likes (lemons, tangerines and so on) from Sicily, directly from the producers sites. Disintermediation they call it, it’s part of the new leverages of modern economy. The idea of putting producers in touch directly with the… Read More November 2019
General Comment Ok I get it, 2018 wasn’t a stellar year (mostly because of the sharp drop in November and December, but 2019 is posing to be a rather good year for investors, balancing out what might have been missed one year ago. As you probably know already I have adopted a bearish stance at… Read More October 2019
General Comment Another month has gone and we are finally entering the latter part of this 2019, last trimester, lot of wrapping up to do. Of course September belongs to the middle part of the year and we can safely say that judging at the numbers that we saw, the weakness that markets felt in… Read More September 2019
General Comment After an easy July I was expecting another uneventful month in August… I couldn’t have been more wrong! This time the highlight of the month was the stock market, which decided to go on a “ride” and showed signs of strong volatility all over the board. Recession news from Europe and probably the… Read More August 2019
General Comment Back from the holidays in June, me and my wife saw fit to have a spell of continuous sickness that lasted more or less one month. Clearly that was not welcomed by the family, but apparently it was due to some sort of “summer virus” that saw fit to attempt to get residency… Read More July 2019
General Comment It seems yesterday that we set off, wife, baby and myself for Sardinia. In reality it was the beginning of June, and I remember that uneasy feeling of starting something completely new, like going on holiday with a little baby, something that I’ve never done before in my life. I’ve done plenty of… Read More June 2019
