Wesley Nolte @Wesl3y: "𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 (𝟮𝟮 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲) 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩..."

United Kingdom

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 (𝟮𝟮 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲) 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙎, 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙖 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣? They want someone else’s country (the devil’s in the details though). After two ugly sessions on the Greenland tariffs scare, risk came roaring back. The $SPX500 and $NSDQ100 both jumped after Trump said the 1 Feb tariffs are off following a "framework" tied to Arctic cooperation. Safe havens are still running hot, signalling that investors and traders remain nervous. 𝙊𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲: tariffs paused, tension not gone. Trump backed off after Davos talks and ruled out taking Greenland by force, but the "framework" is vague. In 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, banks showed strength in pockets. $NFLX (Netflix, Inc.) posted decent numbers but not enough to excite investors. Many interesting names report next week. 𝗙𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 is now a macro variable. Powell confirmed DOJ served grand jury subpoenas tied to his testimony about Fed building renovations. This topic alone keeps a lot of risk on the table. 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲. The economic "cooling but not breaking" narrative holds. The Jan interest rate decision is being priced as a hold. 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 Started building $KWEB (KraneShares CSI China Internet) as my China internet + AI optionality + non-Western basket. You also get a 5-6% dividend yield while you wait. Back in $DDOG (Datadog Inc) . Q3 showed +28% YoY revenue growth and ~120% net revenue retention. DDOG is a market leader fullstop. The stock price is volatile, periodically overextending, collapsing, and then rebounding (<— we’re here). Love this business. 𝙊𝙪𝙩𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 The rebound matters. It's the market telling you: "We'll flinch, but we won't stay scared." My base case stays the same: don't get pushed out of good positions by headline volatility. In more aggressive pullbacks, I’m holding large amounts of low volatility assets (bonds, non-US ETFs) that can be cashed in to go shopping.
