☆ The godfather of black-swan hedging explains why mounting US debt and the weaponization of the dollar are leading risks today
  + stars: | 2024-10-02 | by ( Laila Maidan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
He criticizes the US for high debt and low growth, leading a fragile financial system. He highlighted the four categories of debt-based countries: those with low growth and high or low debt, and those with high growth and high or low debt. The US is in the category of low growth and high debt. However, if a country accumulates high debt, then continued growth is required to absorb it, he noted. At present, Taleb doesn't believe that the ballooning debt could be solved politically or by increased demand for US bonds.

☆ Using options to gain upside stock exposure with less risk during tumultuous times
  + stars: | 2024-07-15 | by ( Michael Khouw | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Black swans and grey Swans refer to events that profoundly impact markets and economies due to their unpredictability and importantly potential for substantial disruption. Generally, black swans are rare and lie outside regular expectations, but they have a significant impact when they occur. Their rarity is what makes them unique and their impact, when they do occur, is significant. The 2008 "Great Financial Crisis", sometimes abbreviated as "The GFC", the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and the COVID-19 pandemic have been described by some as "black swans". Still, there are ways to maintain some upside exposure without taking all the downside risk other than hedging.

☆ Opinion: Government shutdown means Congress gets paid while most federal workers don’t
  + stars: | 2023-09-29 | by ( Cristian Arroyo-Santiago | Opinion Rob Rosenthal | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
The great majority of our almost 4 million federal employees would be furloughed without pay. But strikingly, one group of federal employees would not stop receiving their paychecks: members of Congress. Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution requires that members of Congress be paid while in office. What would it mean if those members of Congress who forced a shutdown of the government faced the same economic consequences as the average AFGE employee? The division between making the plan and living the plan is not inevitable or universal.

☆ Debt crisis is a scary white swan for US economy
  + stars: | 2023-04-25 | by ( Ben Winck | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +8 min
If Democrats and Republicans can’t agree to lift the government’s borrowing limit, the country could suffer an unprecedented and catastrophic default on its debt. The standoff over the debt ceiling is a white swan, or an entirely predictable, very frequent event that has the potential to be as catastrophic as its darker sibling. That is why, in all past scuffles over government borrowing, Congress ended up raising or suspending the debt ceiling. Uncertainty over the timing of the agreement led to the most volatile week for financial markets since the 2008 financial crisis. Failure to lift the debt ceiling soon can spark a vicious cycle of market anxiety, rising borrowing costs and bank stress.

☆ Black Swan Manager Preps for Financial ‘Mega-Tinderbox-Timebomb’
  + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Spencer Jakab | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
No risk, no reward. While Mark Spitznagel wouldn’t disagree, a letter from the star hedge-fund manager seen by The Wall Street Journal has some striking insights on both fronts. A protégé of “Black Swan” author Nassim Nicholas Taleb noted on the occasion of his fund’s 15-year anniversary that using it to hedge a standard stock portfolio would have enhanced long-run returns through its bets on extremely bearish events.
