I had the chance to speak briefly to @BBCBusiness about the repurcussions of the current FX volatility in Turkey. Honored to be featured alongside very influential experts such as @elerianm and Professor Gülçin Özkan. #Turkey #Lira #USDTRY #bbcworld

Yeah sure, you’re giving a mandate worth $2.2 billion and not a single soul up there was keeping track of which stocks were being bought? All it would take was a two second glance at your holdings and maybe a simple Google search, not even a through analysis.
Londra’da siyasi danışmanlık yapan bir arkadaşım her hafta dış basında Türkiye hakkında öne çıkan haberleri derlemeye başladı. İlgilenenler şimdiden takipte yerini alsın // A good friend of mine who’s a political consultant in London compiles news from foreign press about Turkey weekly. He doesn’t post in English yet but those of you who are interested can give him a follow.
Biraz da gündeme dair. Her yeni “bedava para makinesi” aynı sonla biter. Giriş, gelişme, sonuç ve hatta post-mortem bile biraz tarih okuyan biri için klişe bir filmi andırır.

The finance world just keeps producing crazier and crazier stories.
Leverage, AI hype, and retail traders are the common thread behind almost all of them.
Just in the past few years:
~ Nikola / Trevor Milton. Faked a truck "driving" by filming it rolling downhill. Resigned, got indicted, later convicted of securities fraud.
~ GameStop / Meme Stock Mania. Retail traders on WallStreetBets squeezed hedge funds short the stock. Went from single digits to $400+ intraday.
~ Archegos Collapse. Bill Hwang's $20 billion net worth erased in a matter of days.
~ Terra / Luna. A so called "algorithmic stablecoin" propped up by unsustainable yields collapsed to zero almost overnight.
~ FTX / Sam Bankman-Fried. Exchange collapsed after customer funds were secretly funneled into his trading firm.
~ Silicon Valley Bank. The fastest bank run in history. Over $40B pulled in a single day before regulators stepped in.
~ Credit Suisse. Collapsed in March 2023 after roughly $5.5B in Archegos fallout losses. Absorbed by UBS.
~ Leopold Aschenbrenner's Hedge Fund. His $45B AI fund got crushed on infrastructure bets and was forced to unwind its entire public book to Citadel.
Every cycle finds a new way to blow up. The names change, the mechanics rhyme.

Most traders review their average trades. But Phil Goedeker reveals the real truth: your biggest wins and losses offer the most valuable lessons.
By meticulously analyzing these extreme outcomes, you can pinpoint flaws in your strategy and understand precisely what went right. This clarity helps refine entries, optimize exits, and eliminate recurring mistakes.
Learn from every extreme.

Para piyasası fonlarının negatif getiri sağlaması, piyasalarda dünyanın en nadir olgusu olabilir
Biz bunu da başardık...
Sadly most retail and even some institutional investors think they’re diversified with a bunch of heavily correlated assets in their portfolio. If we’re looking at things from Dalio’s perspective I’d add managed futures to almost any long term portfolio youtu.be/Nu4lHaSh7D4?si=VCai…
Olimpiyatları izlerken kumandada elim yanlış tuşa basınca açıldı, yıllar sonra eski bir dostu görmüş gibi oldum. Halen çalışıyor, bir süreliğine interneti komple bırakıp sadece Teletext’te vakit geçirmeyi planlıyorum.

Deutsche Bank bugün sabah çıkardığı "Türkiye fixed income: now or never" research note'unda Türkiye devlet tahvillerini ısrarla öneriyor. Bunun için de 3 sebep belirtilmiş:
* Enflasyonun zirveye ulaştığı ve ilerleyen aylarda güçlü bir dezenflasyon gerçekleşeceği,
* Lokal varlıklardaki arzın yaz aylarında düşük seyredeceği ve pozisyonlanmanın hala düşük seviyelerde olması,
* Tahviller şu anda reel faiz ödemese de, enflasyon beklentilerinin düzelmesi ile tahvil getirilerinin daha cazip hale geleceği.
Aylardır defaatle bahsettiğimiz kaçınılmaz son. Kısa vadede böyle bir reel getirinin kalıcı olması imkansızdı. Enflasyona karşı yatırım yapılabilecek geleneksel ürünlerin daha da cazip hale gelmesiyle trend kuvvetle muhtemel devam edecektir.
Bought $NVDA after the confirmation of the breakout on January 9, nearly doubled since. Simple #PriceAction can work wonders sometimes. #NVIDIA #Breakout #NVDA
That breakout on $SHW worked nicely. Pocket half of that profit here at $330 and let the rest run, if anybody out there hears me. #SP500 #StocksToBuy #BreakoutStocks
Optimization is like a disease when it’s applied to “life” itself. Byung Chul Han diagnosed it the best.
Never buy a stock in a downtrend. There's so much money to be made - or not lost - just by buying strong stocks and selling weak ones.
Since 2020, Cathie Wood had been consistently buying $TDOC over a span of more than 100 purchases at an average price of about $163. Today, she was selling.
