Si no me equivoco es el episodio 76. El de Carmen ya era el 75.

Comgest growth china con el 9% de la cartera en $BABA. No se deben de creer mucho que el malvado gobierno chino quiera desmontarla.

Glad to be here! I have already seen some glorious things going on and maybe I could add a little to the scrap pile (but preferably the "keepers" pile.)
I first got my fingers burned many years ago in the UK. Took up residence in Canada 45 years ago and have been in and out, mainly out, of casting work since I landed. Somehow it never really leaves your blood if you follow. Nothing quite like the smell of burning Petrobond in the morning I guess!
I have long had a hankering for making Art...

I built my first furnace back in 2012, and have experimented with oil and propane burners ever since.

I melted aluminum first, and that was pretty easy. You can melt aluminum as easily as Zamak (in my opinion) using the same propane burner and just slightly more heat.
Zamak has more mass to it.

I really wanted to master pouring gray iron, and that took a figure out.
If you know what you are doing, casting gray iron is not much more difficult than casting aluminum, although there is a lot...

Yo creo que a nivel de deuda-activos es la mejor de las tres tabaqueras.

Hace seis meses, PM tenía un ratio deuda-activos del 125%; y un payout de un 99,6%. Es algo insostenible.

Altria, por su parte, tiene un ratio deuda-activos del 88,4%; y un payout del 77,8%. Mejor que PM, pero lejos de British American Tobacco, que tiene una ratio de deuda activos del 54% y un payout del 73%.

I am a woodworker and factory manager, now outsourced/downsized/partially retired and doing customer service and website product support but still standing! My background is industrial engineering and woodworking, and I have run and consulted in the design/control for high temp incinerators and wood-driven heating systems starting on the one in my own factory which ran close to 3000 (melted the 2800 original firebrick like pudding), which I relined and re-designed the airways and fire...

Hello from VT

Hi, I've been sand casting and lost wax casting off and on for a number of years -- mostly off.

Most of the items that I've cast have been fairly clunky because, well, finely detailed models were very hard for me to do by hand.

I've just started using 3D design and a 3D printer to produce my models and now I can create models that are much more delicate. I'll start casting them this week!

If you're in the area and want a casting buddy, I'm looking for some folks to cast with once the...

Hello from Fayetteville, NC

fisherB:

Yo creo que al final todo esto es una cuestión de punto de vista, estoy de acuerdo con usted que si lo que quiere uno es que los gestores estén en el foro, entender sus estrategias y obtener rentabilidad pues no importa que copien, que citen o hagan lo que sea, si en el fondo no es algo sustancial en relación con las rentabilidades que conseguirán.

Creo que ha dado en el clavo… Efectivamente es mi punto de vista… sin que se puedan criticar cosas que hagan los gestores (¡faltaría más!), pero es que aquí se va a machete con cualquiera… no hay cuartelillo… ¡por favor!

PD: Y no solo por la rentabilidad, sino por su proceso inversor, o las ideas que les mueven…

Watch Kyle Bass On The "Cancer" Of China’s New Digital Currency

“Imagine a currency that almost has a mind of its own … It knows your account data, knows your birthday, your social security number, where you live” and exactly what you like to buy. And all of this knowledge would be sitting in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.

In this Epoch Times interview of American Thought Leaders, Kyle Bass, founder of Hayman Capital Management and one of the few people who successfully bet on the bursting of the subprime bubble, breaks down the threat of a new Chinese digital currency and how the regime could force countries to use it.

“They’re so good at exploiting every crack, every nook, every cranny … They take our openness, and they exploit it,” Bass says.

Hedge Fund CIO On The DeFi Revolution

By Eric Peters, CIO of One River Asset Management. For those unfamiliar withe Decentralized Finance (DeFi), we urge you to read "Decentralized Finance (DeFi) 101" first.

“Revolutions are defined by the revolutionaries,” said Marcel Kasumovich, our head of research. “History may find them after the fact, but we are living with them in real time. It started with Satoshi’s anonymity. This is part of the revolutionary design. Components of the Bitcoin protocol were invented long before Satoshi brought it together in a single, stable protocol. Adam Back created hash-cash that is the currency unit of the Bitcoin protocol. Satoshi is the Picasso, the creative genius, transforming buckets of paint into an enduring philosophy. Perhaps Satoshi understood there was no timetable for success. It could take days, years, or decades to inspire a generation. The anonymity of Satoshi allows the group to live forever. We are all Satoshi.”
 
“It is not your average youth movement. It will not be defined by a noisy twitter debate or clever memes,” continued Marcel, placing this moment in historical context. “Vitalik Buterin was inspired by Satoshi, and the Ethereum protocol is going through its most profound transformation since its inception only a short six years ago. Would Satoshi have agreed with the Buterin fork? It is not the point. Splinters in the revolution are precisely part of the creative process; if you are not breaking things on the path to innovation, you are not doing it right. Then there is Stani Kulechov. A student of law in Helsinki Finland with an interest in programming who discovered the world of fintech through the lens of the Ethereum protocol and the smart contracts it could employ. ETHLend was created in 2017, and it is better known as the leading lending protocol of Aave.”

 
“Aave is now the leader in decentralized finance. There is $10bln of locked capital in Aave protocols. Almost half of the $15bln in DeFi lending happens on the Aave protocol. Of the interest paid through DeFi lending, 46% is done through Aave at an annualized rate of $245mm. It is tempting to trivialize the achievement. After all, total loans and leases in the US commercial banking system are more than $10trln. But keep in mind Stani Kulechov achieved his graduate degree in law in 2018 and his interest in computer programming was cultivated as a teenager. The revolutionaries are not chasing any traditional financial institution. They are chasing a desire to make things better, and a hope for getting closer to the truth. In Kulechov’s words, “DeFi might not replace all TradFi service providers, but it will replace the software and infrastructure that TradFi is based upon”. With no hint of irony, he observes that “TradFi becomes the gateway for DeFi.””

“Regulation. It is the word to put shivers in the spine of any traditional institution evaluating asset allocation in the digital ecosystem. Regulation will not stand for it. Regulation will slow growth. Regulation will redistribute profit. Regulation will force decentralized agencies to be on a level playing field with centralized ones - as though traditional institutions are somehow disadvantaged from capital-starved decentralized players. It is a term used to invoke fear, and it requires far more precision in its mention. The crypto economy is regulated. Ask anybody in the money service business who is registered with FinCEN and provides thousands of monthly reports on suspicious transactions, by regulatory decree. As the crypto economy enters the mainstream, it will blend with TradFi as a matter of practicality. It must and it will.”

“Regulation is the gateway for DeFi to enter the mainstream, and it is already happening. Last August, Aave received an Electronic Money Institution license from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, that allowed the protocol to trial services with UK citizens. Aave Pro will be released in this month, aimed at bringing institutions into the liquidity pool of decentralizing lending. Well-regarded smart contracts will add centralized tools such as whitelisting of addresses and know-your-customer provisions. These are precisely the steps that the FATF regulatory body would desire.”

“There is no turning back,” explained Marcel. “The technology is being tested, adopted, and admired. The revolution is happening from within institutions with leaders who see a better way. It will take time for users to see the value. After all, statues of revolutionaries are only mounted long after their work is done. But make no mistake – the people and firms who underestimate the intelligence, drive and creativity of those working on change are precisely the ones who will be, at best, left behind and, at worst, run-over by the technologies. These are not our parents’ revolutionaries.”

Anecdote

Each generation believes it can create a better world. Were it not so, we would still live in caves. Some generations thirst for change through revolution. That probably has to do with longer term economic and political cycles. But for whatever reason, amongst these revolutionary generations, some are more determined, effective. The 1960s-70s youth seemed radical, but they were far from French revolutionaries. Their actions failed to spark an inferno. My wife Mara grew up in a hippy enclave during that period. Her town sought to opt out of the system by going backward, living off the land, returning to simpler times.

But history rarely turns back the clock for long. That generation never had a credible plan to replace the system with something better. Nor did it have a new technology to amplify force. The establishment knew this. The youth back then presented no real threat, just the appearance of instability. Daisies and LSD.

But today’s youth have built the technologies to power revolution. Their protocols remain nascent, but if they’re allowed to flourish (or if they cannot be stopped), they will credibly replace incumbent industries that the masses have come to despise (retail banks, commercial banks, central banks, wall street, money transfer agents, credit card companies, social media companies, exchanges of every kind, censors, and the list has just started). Someday these technologies may threaten our notion of centralized government control.

In the 1960s-70s, incumbents knew the revolutionaries had no credible plan. This time, revolutionary technologies are already being rolled out. They are more efficient, cheaper, faster. They cut out the middlemen. And empower the individual. Today’s incumbents are threatened with extinction. In fact, if today’s business leaders were 30yrs younger, most would be racing to build their companies/wealth in this new field of blockchain. This is what a credible revolution looks like, waged by brilliant youth, impassioned, with fantastic ideas, immense wealth, and humanity’s most powerful technologies, applied in ways that incumbents can barely understand. And it is too early to tell exactly where this new generation will lead us, only that it is to a profoundly different future.
