Free Headlines for Everyone Today as Trump Gives Thanksgiving Ultimatum to Ukraine
Give Russia everything it has demanded from the beginning, or we quit supporting you.
Today is for working on my Deeper Dive, instead of shorter editorials. However, this time I would like, before I get started, to ask everyone if there is any topic they would like to see me cover (or avoid) in this weekend’s Deeper Dive. That can be either from headlines that didn’t get covered over the past week or something you’ve been lookin for. (Of course, my doing so will depend on whether I know anything about it or feel I can add anything of value.) So, if there is anything you’d like to see me write about, either post in the comments below or in a reply to this mass email

I am thinking about lost confidence in Trump, USA, US Treas and especially our dollar. Gold and silver are in sync with this lost confidence but not the NASDAQ that I understand is now approx 40% owned by foreigners. I would expect ABUSA (anything but USA) on the part of foreigners. Why are they sticking with us?
It’s too late for this weekend but what would interest me is how war would affect the western financial system eg Europe at war with Russia or US vs China. It’s pretty grim but looks very possible. What would happen? Bank failures or bail ins, capital controls, massive inflation, failure of pension schemes etc. how to prepare wisely for it? Maybe fixed rate mortgages, real assets, ownership rather than leasing?
