The Economist

in 2005, I subscribed and read it religiously until 2008.

I got two trade ideas that paid for the time invested.

my understanding of rates and macro economics greatly improved. This was during a time of dollar devaluation and the rise of the euro and emerging markets while at the same time having artificially low interest rates as China was using foreign reserves to buy US treasuries.

if you read it two years ago, it would probably be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to you today.
LOL, you'd make a lot more money fading them.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll be reading my first edition of the mag during the weekend. My library stocks it, so no worries if it gets loaded with too much political garbage. :D
 
Economist is a great mag, providing in-depth insights on current events, especially macro events. So it might be helpful to long-term investors alike but not much help to short-term traders.

The Economist is a propagandized, self-congratulatory publication for and by the globalist, Keynesian, Davos crowd. The days of those methods are ending. They will say whatever they need to in attempt to retain their self-proclaimed intelligence and superiority. The Economist publication is garbage-out! Garbage-in for those that give it credence.
 
That article was published April 2021. Correct at the time of publication but failed to foresee future events. That was a year before the war. Or as we say in the mud flats of the Mississippi Delta "Before the "Wa-ah".
Markets topped before the war and gas/energy prices had been moving up at a near 45-degree angle for 16 months...inflation and the downturn were inevitable. The bottom line is the Economist authors have no predictive value and if they did, they'd be trading or running funds instead of lap dogs of the elite.

There used to be some nice small towns in the Delta. Sadly, most are now like the ones around Natchez as described here.

So, today I picked up the June-July edition with the title "Energy Crisis".

Seems either a lot of wealthy people (or wanan-bies) must read this mag. I turn the first page and there is a double-page ROLEX advert. A few more pages and there is a full-page TAG HEUER Porsche advert for the Chronograph. lol
