SHOCKING: a $2 Trillion deficit. Ruinous to the US economy and markets probably. RECESSION Ahead? THIS is a good interview. Steph says so much of value in relatively few words - a Must Listen : Stephanie Pomboy: The Fed ‘Manufactured Data’ Ignores The Buried American Workers https://rumble.com/v3fd482-stephanie-pomboy-the-fed-manufactured-data-ignores-the-buried-american-work.html She says: "We are at a Turning point, about to Tip over into Recession." "Big Question is : Why does the Fed rely on flawed data?" "The cure for ALL of this, is to go back to the policies of Trump... High inflation for over regulation at rising oil.." Is NOT EASY to fix, with Biden's policies in place.

CRY3: BTC: $25,760, Riot ($11.04, 42.9ks), Mara ($12.00, 46.6ks), Hive ($3.47, 13.5ks) BlackRock is a major shareholder in 4 of the 5 largest Bitcoin miners BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) — one of the largest investment companies in the world — is positioning itself in the Bitcoin (BTC) mining industry. Aug 28, 2023 BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) — one of the largest investment companies in the world — is positioning itself in the Bitcoin (BTC) mining industry. The investment giant is already the second-largest shareholder in four out of the five biggest Bitcoin miners by market capitalization. According to the CompaniesMarketCap Index, the five largest Bitcoin miners sum up to $5.4 billion in market capitalization, and have registered massive losses in the last 30 days: Riot Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT): $1.92 billion market cap Marathon Digital Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:MARA): $1.83 billion market cap Cipher Mining Inc (NASDAQ:CIFR): $0.74 billion market cap Hut 8 Mining Corp (NASDAQ:HUT): $0.50 billion market cap Terawulf Inc (NASDAQ:WULF): $0.41 billion market cap ... Interestingly, the struggles for small and medium miners can also pose an opportunity for larger companies with easier access to capital, that are able to survive and grow in challenging times. An opportunity that seems to have been spotted by BlackRock, which continues to increase its position as a major shareholder among the largest four mining companies in the United States. > https://finbold.com/blackrock-is-a-major-shareholder-in-4-of-the-5-largest-bitcoin-miners/ compare: Hive (NASDAQ:HIVE): $3.47 x 85.6M* $0.30 billion market cap Data retrieved by Finbold from CNN shows that BlackRock Fund Advisors increased their position in these Bitcoin miners on June 30, consolidating their second place as the largest shareholders position, as follows: RIOT: 10,749,369 shares (6.14%), for a total value of $199.08 million (at $18.52); MARA: 10,938,032 shares (6.44%), for a total value of $190 million. (at $17.37); CIFR: 2,200,654 shares (0.88%), for a total value of $8.36 million. (at $ 3.80); WULF: 4,831,312 shares (2.28%), for a total value of $14.10 million. (at $ 2.92) Notably, the built position suming to a total value of around $411.54 million, equals to a small share of 0.35% of the $117.6 billion in assets that BlackRock holds, as reported in 2022. This current position also makes the BlackRock Funds Advisors a major member of the Bitcoin Mining Council, a lobbying group for the Bitcoin mining industry in the US. === * Blackrock had shares in HIVE too.

ANOTHER VIEW: Philippine Stocks Wipe Out $20 Billion in Value as Growth Slows > https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-01/philippine-stocks-wipe-out-20-billion-in-value-as-growth-slows#xj4y7vzkg (from Viber chat): Every start of the year, and I believe without fail, local stock analysts have habitually forecasted new PSEI record highs. And yet in early 2018, my forecast was a “multi-year bear market” for PSEI (see screen shot below). And true enough, since that forecast, PSEI peaked and never made any new record highs. On the contrary, it had proceeded to more lows from the high of February 2018. That was in line with the rolling over from a bullish global picture (which started in 1982) into a more challenging environment leading to a bearish 2020 globally as COVID gripped the world starting Nov. 2019.

PSEI may be have made a Cyclical Low (about 6,142) Compare: SPX: 4,516, UKX: 7,465 1.65x, PSEI: 6,181 1.37x PSEC-to SPX ratio: 6,181 / 4,516 =r-1.37x - New Low! "My Bearish friends may Not agree with this assessment, but I think it is possible that we have seen an important Cyclical LOW in PSEI this past week near 6,150 ( a little below the "about 6,200" support level, that I had identified.). A break of the trend line I show above may still happen. But if we get a good rally from here, it may bring a multi-week or eve multi-month Rally. Possibly driven by slow inflation, and some decline in US and PHL interest rates." - From my Markets Chat on Viber

(RCI) recorded full year Net Income of P238 million in 2021, reversing its P1.2 billion loss in 2020. 2021 Revenues doubled to P1 billion as real estate sales and higher budget hospitality room nights bucked the pandemic and offset lower coconut product exports. Gross profit grew more than seven-fold vs. 2020, absorbing higher operating expenses as various businesses started to recover from reduced local government restrictions as a result of rising Covid-19 vaccinations. The surging demand for staycation options and lower Taal volcano alert level boosted occupancy in its high-end Anya Hotel in Tagaytay. The Group’s investment properties rose for the fourth straight year with a P766 million appraisal gain in 2021 mainly on land appreciation from tollway and power infrastructure plans near its Nasugbu, Batangas landbank portfolio. This offset the P183 million equity loss from its minority shareholding in the First Pacific-controlled Roxas Holdings, Inc. (RHI).

Stock prices also trended higher after the latest Job Opening and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS report) showed that the number of open jobs in the U.S. fell to the lowest level in more than two years last month. Investors took this as a favorable sign heading into Friday’s August jobs report, which bolstered equities and led to a positive close for the S&P, Dow and Nasdaq, which finished up 1.45%, 0.85%, and 1.74%, respectively. Data provided by TradingView shows that after struggling below $26,000 in the early hours on Tuesday, Bitcoin’s price charged higher near midday after the Grayscale decision was announced, spiking to a daily high near $28,200 with bulls now looking to push its price back above resistance at $29,000.

No one reading THIS thread should be surprised by THIS NEWS.... OVER SUPPLY problem will hit MANILA BAY the hardest. MANILA -Residential tower vacancies in Metro Manila are set to rise in 2024 as property investors banking on the once-thriving demand from China-focused Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (Pogo) find few takers amid an ongoing exodus. “These were launched prepandemic in 2018 and 2019 during the height of the Pogo demand,” Colliers research director Joey Bondoc told the Inquirer. Data from Colliers Philippines showed around 5,900 condominium units will be completed in the Manila Bay Area next year, bringing its total supply to 44,1000 units. “Colliers estimates that the Bay Area will have the largest condominium supply in Metro Manila in 2024, surpassing the Makati central business district and Fort Bonifacio,” the property consultancy said. By end-2024, the Bay Area will likely cover about 27 percent of Metro Manila’s total condominium supply followed by Fort Bonifacio’s 26 percent and the Makati CBD’s 18 percent, it added. > More: https://business.inquirer.net/417540/pogos-decline-set-to-hit-condo-market
