I am pleased to report that in the six months under review, AGT's NAV increased by 26.8%. This result made AGT one of the top performers in its peer group of global investment trusts.   Some of the strongest contributions over the period came from companies - such as Aker, Jardine Strategic and EX...

If anyone in the Congressional committees that oversee the Fed had an operating brain cell, they should flay the Fed for its indefensible posture of ignorance and powerlessness. I have to confess to being too annoyed to read the underlying document, its semi-annual report on financial stability and am so instead relying on what I take to be a fair-minded recap in the Financial Times, Fed warns of hidden leverage lurking in financial system.

Secret weapons have no ability to deter cataclysmic violence. The reply from the Russian ambassador is one for the ages, “It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday.” Remember this when we consider the curious question of the demise of Archegos Capital. Because sometimes I watch something unfold and I have zero opinion on it whatsoever.  The Suez blockage was one of them.  I had to will myself to care beyond the obvious, “this is bad” reaction. The more I think about it, however, the more significant it becomes (more on that in future posts). On the other hand, the minut...
