For years, the cable industry was viewed as slow growing, and cyclical. Recent projects and investments point, however, to a significant transformation, warranting a […]
“The time has come for [monetary] policy to adjust” according to Jerome Powell during its speech at Jackson Hole last Friday, opening the door for a rate cut in September.

Nine weeks later, summer is ending, kids headed back to school yesterday in Geneva and Italy Serie A 2024/25 season just kicked-off with a good draw of Cagliari Calcio vs. Roma… The last time I hit the send button for this letter on June 17th, S&P500 was at 5’473 (or circa -1% below last Friday […]
