This is my last weekly comments of the year. At the time of writing, Cagliari Calcio would be relegated to Serie B after losing (again) with honor (once again) against Atalanta this week-end. Except that it has been an incredible eventful and fascinating year on markets. I would like to thank you warmly for your […]
The November US jobs report, released last Friday, was more reassuring than yesterday’s Cagliari Calcio game, where they lost 0-1 against Fiorentina. While the report points to a solid US labor market, Cagliari’s defeat means my favorite team remains dangerously close to the relegation zone. However, headlines can sometimes be misleading. For example, consider yesterday’s […]

As an emission-free source of base-load power, with plants that offer exceptional longevity, it stands to be a key vector of the necessary energy transition away from fossil fuels. This despite lingering […]
While US citizens have recently voted in favor of Trump and a united Republican government to make America great again, some Italian Serie A clubs are relying either on more respected football managers, such as Claudio Ranieri for Roma, or more unpredictable football players, such as Mario Balotelli for Genoa, in order to make their […]
The vast majority (yours truly included) was expecting, or rather fearing, a close race. Trump won the White House hands down, with a larger majority than expected in the Senate and most likely the House too (i.e. a red sweep). I thought Cagliari Calcio would be swept aside by AC Milan this week-end. And they […]

Here we go… the much-awaited US presidential election will take place tonight. That’s certainly the world’s largest guessing game in terms of scenarios, but also the last big hurdle to clear for markets this year before investors could eventually enjoy a Santa Claus rally. Assuming obviously that (1) incoming economic data remain consistent with the […]
