Trade Alert: Prepare For Better Times

I’m glad I’m not in NYC this week. Wish I hadn’t taken my family there last week. There’s no doubt that the developed world has become Coronavirus obsessed. I would imagine a lot of this germ-phobia is going to stay with us, and that next year

Trade Alert: Don’t Panic When Everybody’s Panicking

I know that governments’ actions are almost always incompetent, so I’m not terribly surprised that the government has been totally incompetent in how it has approached the coronavirus breakout, but it is always surprising the ways in which they mess something up. In this case, wouldn’t it have
