This Week: “Science” = drag queens, cuckoldry, and Kamala

by James Hickman

Mr. Pelosi famously purchased very high-risk call options in Microsoft back in 2021; less than two weeks later, Microsoft announced a $22 billion contract with the US military…

Similarly, he loaded up on more high-risk call options of various semiconductor stocks in 2022, shortly before Congress announced the CHIPs Act (which poured billions of taxpayer subsidies into those same companies.)

Just recently, Paul Pelosi decided to sell about $500,000 worth of Visa stock. And wouldn’t you know it— this week the Justice Department announced an antitrust lawsuit against Visa for illegally monopolizing the debit card market.

The Impossible Trinity: A key to identifying fraudulent investments

By David Chang & Sean Thum

A 50-year-old contractor recently fell victim to a high-return investment scheme, losing RM624,000 in just two months. According to the police, the victim first encountered an advertisement on Facebook on July 26, promising a staggering 410% return on investment.

Following instructions from a supposed “investment advisor”, he joined a WhatsApp group and, over the course of several weeks, made 17 transactions totalling RM688,000. Initially, he received some returns, but when he attempted to withdraw further funds, he was informed that his account had been frozen.

In the world of personal finance, it is impossible to simultaneously achieve three key goals:
i) high returns,
ii) low risk, and
iii) liquidity.

The original rogue trader’s comment: Compliance is still an afterthought

by Nick Leeson

The recent news that Macquarie Group was fined millions by Britain’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for allowing a rogue trader, Travis Klein, to book 426 fictitious trades to hide his losses should give every market participant pause.

(In a statement, Macquarie acknowledged the penalty and said “the unauthorised trading did not affect clients, or the market, and no financial benefit or gain was derived by Macquarie or any other party directly from the activity”.)
