Meno alcol si beve (di qualunque tipo) meglio è e i benefici del resveratrolo nel vino rosso sono una delle bufale scientifiche più sbufalate degli ultimi 10 anni. L’alcol etilico è un cancerogeno certo per l’uomo ed il rischio zero si ha solo consumando zero alcol come tutte le più aggiornate linee guida delle varie agenzie preposte potranno confermare. Esistono solo consumi che minimizzano i rischi.
Detto questo io come tanti consumo saltuariamente alcol per gusto o per pura convivialità, non ho intenzione di smettere (ne bevo davvero poco) e non ho motivi per spingervi a farlo se traete piacere da un consumo moderato di alcol.
Quello che invece da fastidio sono i medici e i ricercatori che ancora continuano a raccontarci la storia del consumo moderato di vino rosso che fa bene alla salute (sì perché i super alcolici sono il male ma il vino signora mia è un elisir di lunga vita).
Mettete insieme un’importante fiera del vino, Bruno Vespa (produttore di vino), il prof. Giorgio Calabrese (il cocco di Porta a Porta), il prof. Alberto Zangrillo (che a quanto pare non straparla solo di Covid) e il dott. Vincenzo Montemurro, agitate e lasciate riposare. Ecco che avrete una bella rinfrescata alla solita bufala delle proprietà magiche del vino rosso e dei miracolosi polifenoli di ‘sto c... ehm chiedo scusa mi stavo lasciando andare.
Che un settore faccia propaganda per il prodotto da cui dipende lo trovo legittimo, ma trovo scorretto se non amorale che esponenti del mondo scientifico facciano credere alle persone che bere vino possa contribuire a migliorare la stato di salute, a curare il “fegato grasso“, se non addirittura a prevenire i danni al DNA e la Covid 19 grazie alla coercitina (immagino sia la quercetina perché non ho trovato nessuna sostanza con quel nome).
L’alcol, se si beve, si beve perché piace non perché faccia bene.

"One of the oldest stock market indicators around is the skirt hem. When hemlines go up, so do markets. When hem lines go down, so do markets. It sounds silly. But it, in truth, isn’t really much more random than the more spreadsheet-based indicators that equity analysts pore over"
Fill the energy storage gap
"along with #lithium-ion #batteries, cheaper, longer-duration storage technologies — most of which are not yet cost effective — will be required to fully replace fossil-fuelled power plants and allow for the 100 per cent use of renewable energy. At the moment, #gas-fired power plants bridge the gap from renewables to provide stable supplies of energy for longer than current batteries can.
More than 97 per cent of the world’s energy storage is currently done by using electricity to pump #water up to a high reservoir and then releasing it, which drives a turbine to create even more electricity, so-called “pumped hydro”. The reservoir of water acts as a way of storing energy. But these systems are challenged by geography and could be limited by increasing water scarcity in the future.
In the UK, the majority of large-scale lithium-ion batteries provide energy for 30-90 minutes.
In addition, #hydrogen, which is produced through the electrolysis of water using electricity, could emerge as a competitive solution for storing energy for longer periods of time. Hydrogen can be stored in underground caverns or depleted oil and gasfields."

There is no return back to any form of normalcy without dealing with the debt overhang. Higher nominal growth – i.e. higher inflation – or try to get rid of the bad debt by #restructuring and writing it off.
"The total level of global #indebtedness has increased by $15tn this year, leaving it on track to exceed $277tn in 2020, said the IIF, which represents financial institutions. It expects total debt to reach 365 per cent of global gross domestic product by the end of the year, surging from 320 per cent at the end of 2019.
“High debt levels will lead to #zombie #banks and zombie #companies that constrain growth,”
From 2016 to the end of September, global debt rose by $52tn; that compares with an increase of $6tn between 2012 and 2016"

"as a result of today’s fiscal and monetary largesse, as in the aftermath of many wars, there will be a surge in inflation, quite likely more than 5% or even on the order of 10% in 2021”

#China economic #influence has no western countries #vaccine, #copper or not
"Shanghai is launching a challenge to #London’s dominance in metals trading by issuing a new futures contract for copper that analysts say has the potential to become a global benchmark.
The Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE) will start trading monthly copper futures denominated in renminbi on Thursday, in contracts based on the metal to be delivered into warehouses in China.
Chinese policymakers are increasingly keen to reduce the negative impact of downturns elsewhere, market participants say. The experience of crude futures has given them “the imperative to list the new copper products”
While China already has a copper futures contract listed on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, foreigners need to set up a local company to use it. The INE’s copper contract will allow foreign entities direct access, and its price will not bake in value added tax, making it similar to international prices
The new launch forms part of a relaxation of the rules governing foreign investments into China’s domestic capital markets. This month China also loosened its qualified foreign institutional investor, or QFII, rules, to ease access to domestic futures, including for commodities"

"Se Parigi avesse il mare, sarebbe una piccola Bari"
Il 13 febbraio scorso un carico di 4.575 tonnellate di #grano francese arriva via mare dalla Francia al porto di Ortona, in Abruzzo. Sono state vendute da una società francese a #DeCecco, terzo produttore mondiale di #pasta. Quel giorno però, secondo alcuni documenti allegati a una dettagliatissima denuncia raccolta a maggio dal #Nas dei #Carabinieri, l'azienda di Fara San Martino lo registra come "grano pugliese". Secondo una email interna allegata all'esposto, l'ordine di registrare il grano francese come pugliese sarebbe arrivato addirittura dal presidente Filippo Antonio De Cecco, 76 anni, monarca assoluto dell'azienda.
La Procura di Chieti ordina perquisizioni nella sede e acquisisce documenti e posta elettronica.
Tre gli indagati per l'ipotesi di reato di frode in commercio: il presidente, il responsabile degli acquisti e l'ex responsabile del controllo qualità, licenziato a maggio.
La società non commenta ma afferma di avere agito sempre nel rispetto di leggi e norme a tutela dei clienti.

Excess #liquidity, #Nirp, #Zirp and #CBs promise to keep it longer create the Spac #bubble, a kind of banking #feudalism transferred in the #IPOfeudalism, who comes first gets better
"So far this year, 156 Spacs have raised more than $55bn, and 76 Spacs in the US have announced acquisitions with a combined value of $95.2bn
Public investors ‘in the hole’
Founder shares, given out for a pittance, can create a drag for ordinary investors who typically pay $10 for each of their shares in a Spac. After a deal, the company can even fall in value and sponsors with discounted shares may still come out ahead.
“The public Spac investors start, effectively, 25 per cent in the hole,” referring to the 20 per cent promote and other standard fees.
short-seller Carson Block, who this week revealed he had placed a bet its share price will fall. At the same time, he launched a broadside against the whole Spac phenomenon, which he called “the great 2020 money grab”.
“A business model that incentivises promoters to do something — anything — with other people’s money is bound to lead to significant value destruction on occasion”

investors have become even more addicted to f#reemoney, or, more precisely, real interest rates that were in effect negative.

3 #Pharma players, German, American, chinese for a RNA #vaccine, volatile minds and good reading from #Nature calm you down
“I want to know the spectrum of disease that the vaccine prevents,” says Paul Offit, a vaccine scientist at the University of Pennsylvania who sits on a US Food and Drug Administration advisory committee that is set to evaluate the vaccine next month. “You’d like to see at least a handful of cases of severe disease in the placebo group,” he adds, because it would suggest that the vaccine has the potential to prevent such cases.
It’s also unclear whether the vaccine can prevent people who show no or only very mild symptoms of COVID-19 from spreading the coronavirus. A transmission-blocking vaccine could accelerate the end of the pandemic. But it will be difficult to determine if the Pfizer vaccine, or others in late-stage trials, can achieve this, says Krammer, because it would involve routinely testing trial participants. “You can't do that with 45,000 people,”
global regulatory pendulum is swinging in the direction of tighter control:
“In Hong Kong the government this week proposed to bring all crypto-assets under the oversight of the securities regulator by using money laundering concerns as the stepping stone. Legislation has been proposed in the EU and the U.S. that drives crypto-assets into existing regulatory silos. These actions indicate the wind has definitely changed direction — [while] strengthened regulatory mandates increases the likelihood of enforcement.”
“Now we are reminded that regulatory action can affect end users and their ability to access their funds. The old adage — ‘not your keys, not your coins’ — remains true.”

“It is clear that the economic recovery is still not happening, wealth is down, and rents are falling in most cities, so your alternative to buying a house is getting cheaper, The fundamentals just do not point to an ongoing housing boom.”
Underpinning the resilience of housing markets are the vast stimulus packages from governments and central banks that have supported struggling companies, allowed many workers to keep earning and — crucially — kept borrowing costs near record lows.
As housing costs keep climbing, the pandemic is prompting some people to abandon expensive city locations in search of more space. In the UK, prices of detached houses rose at double the rate of apartments between March and September
“We noticed the rush in the early days of the lockdown, as 20 per cent of Parisians went to work remotely in the countryside, That begs the question: are we ready to lose 20 per cent of Paris’s population?”

skiing’s #demographic shift
Now with the pandemic, the international market crashed and the local one is stacked to stay in the city like Milan without the possibility to go to their 2bd home in the mountains during the lockdown
"the fading appeal of the sport with younger people means there are not enough young affluent skiers to replace baby boomers retiring after decades on the slopes.
“Global skier numbers have been in decline for years.” Despite bumper snowfalls over the past three years, Alpine visitor numbers for the 2018-19 season stood at 164m, down from 176m in 2008-09.
“Our British clients have stopped travelling to the Alps,”
In Courmayeur, one of Italy’s most popular ski resorts, the number of international visitors between June and July was down by more than two-thirds year-on-year.
“They are looking for a place where they can wander freely and without having to put on a mask, They are not particularly ‘mountain people.”
“The combination of a flight and [onward transport] in the pandemic is complicated.”

The #volatility has evaporated during the #election day, the #debts load NOT
“Markets have realised that the reflationary trade is now dead, any sort of big fiscal, reflationary, transformational proposal is gone
Markets had begun to price in a stimulus package in excess of $2tn early next year plus more still from funds earmarked by Mr Biden for longer-term infrastructure and clean energy initiatives.
Facing the prospect of a divided Congress, strategists now reckon Republican policymakers would push back against any package in excess of $1tn, instead aiming for aid in the ballpark of $500bn.
If the reflation thesis no longer applies, it could also have significant implications for the corporate bond markets. Investors warned lower growth and inflation could mean more companies struggle to get out from under their hefty debt loads, leading to a greater number of bankruptcies than currently expected"

"Ant could previously leverage Rmb3bn ($449m) in capital into Rmb300bn in loans. But under the new guidelines, online lenders would need to keep at least 30 per cent of capital on their balance sheets.
What this means for Ant is that it might have to find an extra $20bn or so in capital reserves to back its current loan portfolio, If you think that the IPO was supposed to raise about $37bn, that is a really big amount of money. No wonder Ma was so agitated
funds allocated to boost its capital base — the company’s profit margins may be whittled back. The result is that any IPO, and future valuation, are likely to look very different"

"Systematically mining factors is at the heart of the #computerpowered, #algorithm-driven #quantitative investment industry that has grown dramatically over the past two decades.
The severity of the value drawdown is admittedly extreme. However, what is interesting is just how many of the strategies based on these factors are struggling at the moment. For some quantitative analysts, it is enough to make them question their entire premise.
“Why I am no longer a #quant,” was the provocative title of a recent report
Almost three-quarters of quants surveyed by Refinitiv in October said that their models had been hurt by Covid-19, and a small but eye-catching minority of 12 per cent declared that their models were obsolete"

"The Covid-19 Pandemic has led to changes in consumer expenditure patterns that can introduce significant bias in the measurement of inflation... consumers spend relatively more on food and other categories with rising inflation, and relatively less on transportation and other categories experiencing significant deflation."

The #bubble of listed #corporations supply, with #Spac skipping proper due diligence of the future underlying
"Spacs raise money in an IPO then hunt for a company to merge with or else hand back capital to investors if they fail to find a target within a set period, typically two years. They have accounted for about half the money raised on US exchanges in 2020, after being just a fraction in previous years.
Since NYSE became an option for Spac sponsors it has been very seriously considered, Going back a few years we had an educational effort with banks, lawyers and others about how we now allow this product.”

"Il burocrate non è soltanto un impiegato statale. In un regime democratico, egli è allo stesso tempo un elettore e, come tale, partecipe della sovranità dello Stato, suo datore di lavoro. Il funzionario si trova in una posizione particolare: egli è insieme datore di lavoro e lavoratore. E il suo interesse pecuniario di dipendente sopravanza il suo interesse di padrone, dato che egli trae dai fondi pubblici molto più di quanto a essi non contribuisca.
Tale doppia relazione diventa più importante nella misura in cui aumenta il numero delle persone sul libro paga dello Stato. Il burocrate, come elettore, è più desideroso di ottenere un aumento che di mantenere il bilancio in pareggio. La sua maggiore preoccupazione è ingrossare il libro paga.
La struttura politica della Germania e della Francia, negli anni antecedenti alla caduta dei loro governi democratici, è stata in larga parte influenzata dal fatto che lo Stato costituiva una fonte di reddito per una parte considerevole dell’elettorato. Non c’erano solo le schiere dei pubblici impiegati e dei dipendenti dei servizi nazionalizzati (per esempio, ferrovie, poste, telegrafi e telefoni), ma c’erano i beneficiari del sussidio di disoccupazione e dell’assicurazione sociale, come pure i produttori agricoli e alcuni altri gruppi che lo Stato direttamente o indirettamente sovvenzionava. Il loro principale interesse era quello di assicurarsi una parte più grande dei fondi pubblici. Costoro se ne infischiavano delle questioni «ideali» quali la libertà, la giustizia, il primato della legge e il buon governo. Essi chiedevano più denaro; e questo era tutto. Nessun candidato al Parlamento, ai Consigli provinciali e comunali avrebbe potuto correre il rischio di opporsi all’appetito dei pubblici impiegati, avidi di aumenti. I vari partiti politici erano ansiosi di superarsi l’un l’altro in prodigalità."
Ludwig von Mises. 1944 Yale University Press.
