England Versus Italy - What The Stats Say

England have never come closer to ending what is by now 55 'years of hurt'. In beating Denmark, the Three Lions reached their first major final since their famous 1966 World Cup win. England fans have had to console themselves with the fading memories of that victory for far too long, as the list of painfully close calls and disastrous campaigns only got longer.

Considering the on-paper strength that England has regularly boasted over the years, fans were not always unjustified in the bitter disappointment they felt each time it all didn't quite come together at the right moment. But, as Statista's Martin Armstrong notes, the Euros 2020 tournament has been a different story though. Building on manager Southgate's semi final run at the 2018 World Cup, England have shown the patience and resilience - accompanied by the essential dose of good luck which so often eluded them in the past - to make it all the way to the final.

The team awaiting them in roday's Wembley final though, is an Italy side on an even more impressive run of form and results and will represent a challenge so far not encountered by England in this tournament.

As Statista's infographic shows, history is also firmly on Italy's side, especially in major tournaments where England have not yet managed to beat them in their three meetings on the biggest of stages.

Anything can happen in a final though, with both sides striving to write a new glorious chapter in their country's footballing history.

Finally, Goldman Sachs' model predicts a close call and sees a 58% chance of England winning a major tournament for the first time since 1966.

Their model predicts for the final: England 2—1 Italy (extra-time)

We wholeheartedly support this forecast!

• Dogecoin holdings among eToro users surpassed those of bitcoin and ether in the second quarter.
• Cardano was the top crypto holding among clients in the first six months of the year.
• The rise of altcoins has been closely documented as bitcoin's market dominance slips.
• Sign up here for our daily newsletter, 10 Things Before the Opening Bell.

Holdings of meme token dogecoin vaulted above bitcoin and ether among eToro clients in the second quarter, according to data from the brokerage.

After cardano, which held the top spot in both quarters, dogecoin zoomed past the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization to claim second place, according to a June 30 snapshot from eToro.

Bitcoin for the second quarter held the fifth spot, tumbling from second in the first three months of the year.

Ether meanwhile, held the fourth spot for the second quarter, also lower from the previous quarter's third place ranking.

Consistently in the top five is altcoin tron, which was founded in 2017. Its native cryptocurrency is TRX.

Q2 2021CryptocurrencyQ1 20211Cardano12DogecoinN/A3Tron44Ether35Bitcoin2

The decision of eToro to add dogecoin trading to its platform only came in May this year, after much contemplation, according to Yoni Assia, CEO of eToro. He told Insider that it did not feel "sensible" to list the shiba inu-themed token at first due to its background.

Dogecoin, which started as a joke in 2013, has seen a blistering rally in 2021 even taking into account recent steep declines, thanks in part to well-known backers such as Elon Musk and Mark Cuban.

The coin was boosted this year by listings on numerous cryptocurrency exchanges, including eToro, Coinbase and Gemini. It was also named "asset of the year" by the billionaire founder of crypto exchange FTX.

Most recently, in an S-1 filing for its upcoming IPO, Robinhood revealed that the trading platform generated nearly $30 million in revenue from customers trading dogecoin in the first quarter of 2021 - a figure expected to have further ballooned in the second quarter when dogecoin's price spiked more than 1,375%.

The rise of altcoins has been closely documented as bitcoin's share of the total crypto market drops below 50% for the first time in three years. It stands at 43%, according to data from CoinGecko.

"People are looking at the broader universe of altcoins for alpha relative to the very crowded BTC trade," Jack McDonald, CEO of fintech firm PolySign, told Insider. "While there's an obvious correlation between BTC and the rest of the market, altcoins represent an opportunity to diversify one's exposure."

Buying and holding altcoins, especially those founded relatively recently, also show a greater trust in the ecosystem, Everett Kohl, founder of Dbilia.com, a company in the NFT space, told Insider.

For some, though, like Eloisa Marchesoni, co-founder and COO of Blockchain Consulting, investing in altcoins comes with more risks.

"Unless you're taking profits as you go, you risk sitting on a load of dead or stagnant capital hoping they survive crypto winter and regain their price action," she told Insider. "Historically just a few of them make it from one bull run to the next."

También añadiría que una cosa es tener un equipo de analistas grande (descentralización del trabajo de campo) y otra cosa es que estos decidan (centralización de la toma de decisiones).

En el TFM del máster que estoy acabando por ejemplo, te dan treinta minutos para resumir tu tesis oralmente, que es el que un analista podría tener para convencer al gestor, que va justo de tiempo, y ya luego, para el supuesto de que le convenzas, has preparado vía escrito, con la extensión que necesites, todo lo que pudiera ser importante para ahorrar tiempo a éste. Modelo Fidelity vaya (y de tantas otras casas, supongo).

Cada modelo tiene ventajas e inconvenientes igualmente, cuando en los que tienen equipos grandes las cosas van mal, muchas veces le surge al partícipe la duda, razonable, porque no ve lo que pasa en el día a día de la organización, de si se están cometiendo errores porque no está buscando ideas y haciendo el trabajo de campo el gestor estrella (solo hace falta observar algún hilo de fondos patrios). Y cuando se ponen las cosas feas, es una escapatoria para pedir el reembolso, entonar el mea culta y dejar de ‘sufrir’ (“es que yo pensaba que el que invertía era X, y se ve que no, que es un analista del que no me fío”).

The Dollar's Final Crash

Authored by Egon von Greyerz via GoldSwitzerland.com,

Was Richard Nixon a real gold friend who understood the futility of tying a weakening dollar to gold which is the only currency that has survived in history?

So was Nixon actually the instigator of the movement to FreeGold?

I doubt it. He was just another desperate leader who was running out of real money and needed to create unlimited amounts of fiat money. Although his fatal decision to close the gold window was clearly the beginning of the end of the current monetary system.

But although the decision was fatal, Nixon was clearly not personally responsible. What the world saw in August 1971 was just another desperate leader who realised that he couldn’t stick to the monetary or fiscal disciplines necessary to maintain a sound economy and a sound currency.

In history, Nixon should be seen as the rule rather than the exception. Since every currency has been slaughtered throughout history, one particular leader will also be required to be the executor.

So in 1971, history had elected Tricky Dick to be the inevitable destroyer of the dollar.

I don’t quite know what the definition is of “suspend temporarily” but 50 years seems to be pushing the limit!

And as regards the strength of dollar goes, we all know what happened to the “strength of the currency”! Please see the illustration of the dollar collapse further on in the article.

FREEGOLD

In my article from December 2018 I talked about the advantage of FreeGold.

There are a few conditions that need to be fulfilled for gold to be an effective store of value. The principle of FreeGold best defines what this means. The website FOFOA (Friend Of a Friend of Another) and its predecessors have been pioneers in defining what FreeGold is:

These are the basic principles-

ALL PHYSICAL GOLD MUST BE:

• FREE from official money systems

• Owned FREE of all other claims

• FREELY traded

If all the above conditions are met, there would be no gold backed currencies, no ability to exchange currency for gold at central banks for a fixed parity and most importantly THERE WOULD BE NO PAPER GOLD OR OTHER GOLD DERIVATIVES.

Gold would neither be lent nor leveraged.

In fact, gold should not be tied to any currency. Gold has reigned supreme for 5,000 years whilst all its competitors in the form of fiat money have collapsed. Nixon probably understood this. The world’s current reserve currency could obviously not be shackled any more by gold. Because gold ignores the follies of megalomaniac sovereign leaders who want to cling on to power at any cost.

That is why governments have a Love – Hate relationship with gold.

ON THE ONE HAND – GOVERNMENTS LOVE GOLD

On the one hand gold signifies stability, wealth and the only currency that has survived in history and maintained its purchasing power. That is why governments around the world allegedly hold 34,000 tonnes of it currently valued at $2 trillion.

As Greenspan said a few years ago:

“If it (gold) is worthless and meaningless, why is everybody (central banks) still holding it?”

ON THE OTHER HAND – GOVERNMENTS HATE GOLD

On the other hand governments hate gold since it reveals their total mismanagement of the economy.

Because as soon as they run out of money, tying the currency to gold creates an extremely inconvenient road block that must be eliminated.

As gold is an inconvenient truth sayer, tying it to the currency prevents governments from holding on to power. So out with gold and sound money and in with credit expansion and fake money that temporarily buys votes.

Printing money and buying votes is not just a frivolous folly, but also an extremely costly exercise that without fail leads to the collapse of the economy and the currency.

DOLLAR AND OTHER CURRENCIES CRASHING INTO THE ABYSS

Just look at the picture below showing the crash of the dollar from the peak of the Matterhorn.

So far it is a “mere” 98% fall since 1971. But that is just the beginning. The next move of all the currencies will shock the world as they crash into the abyss.

The dollar and all currencies are likely to fall by another 98%+ from here as the world central banks desperately attempt to save the financial system.

Whether that means gold at $1,900 or $19,000 or much, much higher is all a function on the final debasement of the currencies rather than the rise of gold.

NO CURRENCY HAS SURVIVED IN HISTORY IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM

Every currency in history has disappeared or become worthless. There are at least 160 currencies that have died through hyperinflation but the real number is likely to be much higher.

The longest surviving currency today is the British Pound which has been in existence since 1694. At that time one pound bought 12 ounces of silver and today one pound buys 0.05 oz.

So although the pound has survived for over 300 years in name, it has lost over 99.99% of its purchasing power in that time.

BITCOIN – $10,000 NEXT?

For anyone who believes that crypto currencies will take over from gold, they should think again. There are around 10,000 cryptos today and over 1,000 have already died.

Bitcoin is of course the biggest. As I have said before, BTC is a wild binary bet. It can go to $1 million and it can go to Zero. Governments are unlikely to allow it to go to $1 million except for as a collector’s item without any practical use. They are more likely to force it to zero as it is banned by an increasing number of countries.

And anyone who thinks BTC will replace gold must think again. It might be a great speculative investment but it can never be a real store of wealth. And the extreme volatility makes it very unsuitable either as a reserve currency or as a wealth preservation investment.

We have seen $65,000 for BTC this year and now it is down 46% from there. Technically it looks like BTC could go to $10,000. If that will be the case, it will certainly not be suitable for widows or orphans

HISTORY – HISTORY – HISTORY

Again, history is our teacher. Most sovereign leaders never look at history. Their egos are too big to learn from the past. Instead they suffer from delusions of grandeur and always believe that things are different today just because they are in power.

But if they had one iota of humility, they would learn that there is very little new under the sun when it comes to the laws of nature and sound money.

They can call it by fancy names such as Keynesianism, QE or MMT. But embellishing a “criminal” action with a fancy name doesn’t make it legitimate. What governments are doing with money would put ordinary people in jail.

How can anyone call dollars or euros legal tender when most of it is created without the production of any goods or service.

Money fabricated by pressing a button by an index finger can never be worth more than the cost of moving the finger. Still these small finger movements are generating trillions of dollars, euros, yen, RMB and other currencies in an illusory creation of wealth.

WILL THERE BE A RESET?

I have at various times made my position clear on a reset.

I definitely don’t believe in Klaus Schwab and his cohorts taking over the world in a James Bond style movie. My view is that these self-important people will totally fail in any attempt to dominate world politics or the global economy.

The current monetary system has given the 0.1% elite illusory wealth and power. But that is a totally artificial and temporary situation. As the current currency system collapses so will their power and illusions.

Nor do I believe that governments and central banks will succeed in anything but a very temporary reset, if that. This kind of attempted reset could involve making debt disappear in a hocus pocus move and revaluing gold. Central bank digital currencies would also be introduced.

What they don’t realise is that Humpty Dumpty has already fallen and is irreparable. Any artificial and fake measures will not ever put Humpty together again.

So the only real reset that I see will be disorderly in a fall of the current monetary system.

Many of my previous articles cover the consequences in detail.

As I have outlined, it will be a very unpleasant but temporary period for the world as all the corruption and excesses of the last 100 years are unwound.

But the coming forest fire is essential to get rid of the deadwood so that new green shoots can create a sounder world economy and system.

GOLD (& SILVER) WILL BE A LIFE SAVER

As the graph above shows, gold is today as cheap in relation to US money supply as it was in 1970 when gold was $35 and in 2000 when gold was $300.

For financial survival, physical gold and silver will be life savers as bubble asset like stocks, bonds and property collapse in real terms. But due to the fragile financial system, precious metals must be held in private & safe vaults outside the system.

Activists from various grassroots organizations rally outside City Hall in Los Angeles, California on July 7, 2021, calling on Congress and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to remove the filibuster and pass the "For the People Act" to expand voting rights.

Frederic Brown/AFP/Getty Images

• The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Arizona's law that makes it harder to vote.
• Congress has stalled out on advancing legislation to protect voting rights.
• But while the fight for voting rights may have died on the federal level, there is still hope to drive out people and protect voting at the state level.
• Michael Gordon is a longtime Democratic strategist, a former spokesman for the Justice Department, and the principal for the strategic-communications firm Group Gordon.
• This is an opinion column. The thoughts expressed are those of the author.
• See more stories on Insider's business page.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court signed the death certificate for voting rights. In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, the Court decided that Arizona could implement restrictions that hamper the ability of Black and brown voters to cast their ballot.

In essence, more than 50 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, the federal protections against racially discriminatory voting policies have been stripped away. The conservative majority on the Supreme Court has given new energy to right wing states that want to keep minority voters away from the polls.

Democrats have the Supreme Court and red states against them. So their only choice left is to go local - and out-organize anyone standing in their way.

The big lie on steroids

While Republican-controlled states have passed onerous voting laws for years, the recent spate of voter suppression tactics all stem from former President Donald Trump's "Big Lie." The fact that President Joe Biden won the reliably Republican states of Georgia and Arizona sent a shockwave through the GOP. We all know, and perhaps expected, Trump to falsely claim that there was voter "fraud" after his 2020 loss. But now Republicans are falling all over themselves to please the former President by enacting laws to prevent these nonexistent "irregularities" from happening again.

Arizona, where the Supreme Court case originated, prevents friends and neighbors from helping someone turn in absentee ballots. It also allows the state to disqualify voters who accidentally vote in the wrong precinct. Republicans claim they are trying to prevent fraud, but the actual intention is clear when you recognize that local GOP officials routinely shift voting locations in minority neighborhoods - making it easier for these voters to accidentally run afoul of the new law.

Georgia's new laws, the cause of much outcry earlier this year, not only tighten voter ID requirements - a dog whistle for preventing Black folks from voting - but also make it a crime to pass out water to voters in line. Considering there are generally longer lines where Black voters vote, the water bottle law is designed to force Black voters out of line before making it to the front.

These laws aren't just in swing states, either. States like Arkansas, Alabama, and Oklahoma have all passed laws making it harder to vote by mail, on top of many other voting restrictions. This is an epidemic, and Democrats must use every means at their disposal to fight back before it's too late.

Filibustering the filibuster

The conventional wisdom is that the Democrats' most effective response to voter suppression is to pass a new federal voter protection law. Indeed, some of the very first bills put forth in the US House and Senate this year were to protect voting rights, like the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. The bills have not seen much success because of Republican intransigence.

The most common solution to move past the GOP is changing the filibuster, which prevents any bill from moving forward in the Senate unless it has 60 supporters. Given the 50-50 split in the chamber, this effectively gives the Republican minority veto power over almost every bill brought to the Senate floor.

After the Supreme Court decision, Democrats are calling again for an end to the filibuster so that the voting rights law can pass. But that ship has sailed. The Democrats in the ideological center of the Senate, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, have not moved on changing the filibuster. And with their stubbornness on the filibuster goes any chance of a new federal voting law.

Democrats across the country need to stop hoping that Congress or the courts will fix this problem. They won't. Democrats need to take charge themselves.

Voter suppression boomerang

While efforts may be stymied at the federal level, Democrats do have a chance to harness the energy and outrage around voter suppression to increase voter turnout at the state and local level.

To start, they need to let Black, brown, and younger voters know that Republicans are trying to prevent them from voting, and inform them of how to stay on top of their right to vote. Major Democratic Super PACs are already investing in this kind of work, but more funds and more people will be necessary to make a real difference.

In Arizona, where casting a ballot in the wrong place can lead to disqualification, voter education campaigns are essential. The GOP technique only works to suppress the vote when voters don't know their polling location. With solid organizing, Democrats can ensure every single voter knows where to cast their ballot.

In Georgia, ground zero for many false claims of election fraud, Democrats have already shown what it takes to fight back. Stacey Abrams' Fair Fight has been on the front lines of combating voter suppression. As a result, Georgia Democrats helped flip the White House and Senate in 2020. If Democrats are serious about combating voter suppression, they should set up a Fair Fight in every single state.

Perhaps the single largest step that Democrats can take to fight suppression and increase turnout is to invest in year-round organizing. In too many places, young Democratic staffers parachute in for one campaign cycle and then leave, forgoing the ability to forge the deep connections it takes to win over and help voters.

The chair of the Wisconsin Democrats credits year-round organizing for the slim wins in both Wisconsin and Georgia, and the Democratic state party in Texas is already investing in this. It gets results. Texas Democrats managed to defeat an earlier attempt to pass draconian voter suppression laws, although the governor is still trying.

For the time being, Democrats can't do anything about the Supreme Court. But the right to vote is precious, and we can use the threat of these new laws to inspire people to hold onto what's theirs and fight back against Republican attempts to subvert democracy.

• Right now, a whole lot of jobs are open - and a whole bunch of workers are quitting.
• But the labor market being weird is nothing new, according to economist William Spriggs.
• The current shifts could be an 'unwinding' of more than a decade of declining wages and an aging workforce.

The labor market is weird right now.

A lot of people remain unemployed, even though the number of job openings is high and businesses are desperate to hire. Americans that do have jobs are quitting at record-breaking rates. In other words, a major reshuffling is going on in the labor market.

As it turns out, a confusing labor market is nothing new, said Dr. William Spriggs, an economics professor at Howard University and chief economist at the AFL-CIO. Spriggs told Insider that low-paying jobs and older people remaining in the workforce were both surprising features of the last 20 years of the American economy. And what seems weird right now is actually just an "unwinding" of these two trends giving way to higher-paying jobs and younger workers.

The labor shortage is actually healing major dysfunctions in the 21st century economy, Spriggs explained.

Low-wage jobs rose and real wages declined

Since the early 2000s, the number of low-wage jobs grew, even as people became more educated. (Brookings' defines "low-wage" as two-thirds of their area's median wage, or less.)

A Brookings analysis from 2019 found that 53 million Americans work for low wages - which comes to 44% of workers ages 18 to 64. And it's not just teenagers; more than half of those low-wage workers fall between the ages of 25 and 50.

"It was very hard to explain how, in the 21st century, we gained so many low-wage jobs," Spriggs said.

Though pay growth picked up in the years preceding the pandemic thanks to states raising minimum wages above the federal level of $7.25 an hour, wages have declined over the past five decades.

Now some of those past patterns are "unwinding," said Spriggs. He attributes some of that to more consistent hours in some sectors, like those benefitting from the rise of online shopping. Workers - especially women, who have had a rockier recovery - are flocking to industries like construction, transportation, and warehousing.

"With this transition going on, the workers who are employed are finding ways to get jobs in the sectors that are expanding and hiring," Spriggs said.

Older workers stuck around longer than expected

The other "really strange thing" about the 21st century labor market was that the number of workers over age 50 has been on the upswing, and participation for people under 25 fell. Spriggs pointed out that there was much talk about the 21st century being the "age of the computer."

"I think everybody thought that people over 50 will continue to retire and people under 25, this would be the best cohort ever if you were young, because you will have to backfill all those jobs," he said.

Instead, younger workers were unemployed at higher rates than older workers after the Great Recession, and were then hit harder by COVID job losses.

The pandemic might have evened out generational representation as a wave of older workers opted (or were pushed) into retirement over COVID fears, layoffs, and bleak industry outlooks. The Retirement Equity Lab found in an October report that, for the first time in 50 years, workers over 55 were unemployment at higher rates than the younger cohort.

After teen unemployment dropped significantly in May, it leveled out in June, coming in close to pre-pandemic levels. Insider's Ayelet Sheffey and Madison Hoff reported that some expected teens would step in and fill the labor shortage, but June's jobs report seemed to disprove that theory. Spriggs agrees that "there's no evidence of that so far."

The current labor market rollercoaster could create lasting change beyond temporary signing bonuses and other measures employers are using to lure in workers.

"Maybe because of the shift in demand, we finally shift to some of these other jobs that aren't necessarily higher paying," Spriggs said, but ones with more hours. That's a potential advantage for workers: "The annual pay is much higher."

estructurero:

Ya pero la capacidad de análisis también está ahí. No es lo mismo un equipo de 50/100 personas, algunas con más de 30 años de experiencia, que un equipo de de 3 personas con 7/8 años (en mercado alcista).

Sin discutirle el argumento, también a veces ocurre lo contrario: un equipo grande a veces es sinónimo de ineficiente y es incapaz de tomar decisiones valientes por no ser excluido del grupo o por perder su empleo, por ejemplo.

“Quicir”, que podria ser positivo o podría ser negativo pero sólo lo sabremos a posteriori. Por esto hay que diversificar y no jugarte todo a 1 carta.

Goldman: Here's Why The Shorts Will Have To Cover This Week

Last weekend, before the S&P broke out into a series of new all time highs despite Thursday's "harrowing" 1% dip, we shared Goldman's observations on why the market was entering the best 2-week seasonal period of the year. Since then, the SPX has hit new all time highs 3 out of the past 5 trading days, and on 9 out of the last 11 even as sentiment substantially declined this week in global equities. For context, on Thursday we observed that the TICK Index logged one of the largest (top 4) selling pressure on the open on record.

For those asking what was behind Thursday's wobble, we mentioned previously listed the reason for the selloff, none of which were new. The general feeling was that equities needed to catch down to other asset classes.

But, as Goldman flow trader Scott Rubner correctly predicted on Friday, when he said that "I think local shorts will need to cover this am" only to see a new all time high in the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq, the selling is pretty much over "as long dealer gamma muted a larger potential drawdown." Another reason why Goldman expects stocks to keep rising: JPM kicks off the defacto new buyback window on Tuesday.

With that in mind, here is a mini thread from Rubner on “where we came from” and where we are going next.

1. GS Wedge: Since January 2019, Money Markets have seen +$1.707 Trillion inflows and Global Bonds have seen +$1.629 Trillion inflows, while Global Equities just +$154 Billion worth of inflows. GS wedge stands at $3.2 Trillion ~ aka the defensive buffer.

2. Cash on the sidelines is waiting for a dip and bought the Thursday dip.

3. 1H 2021 actually logged the 2nd largest money market inflows on record. 1H 2020 was the largest.

4. The cash pile from 2021 has not been reduced.

5. 1H 2021 Bond inflows seem significant? On pace for best year in a decade.

6. Q1 2021 saw the 3rd largest quarterly inflow on record, Q2 2021 saw the 7th largest on record.

7. Global Equity inflows are the biggest story of the year, but do not seem extreme at all when I zoom out.

Goldman's bottom Line: "We are still in the best two week period of the year, equity inflows are large, 401k are going back into stocks at a record pace. I think local shorts will need to cover."
