We were in Annecy recently and hoping to make the next step to Geneva but decided we didn’t have time. Maybe we will come back soon. With a bigger suit case. And the dogs.

CHF has been slipping versus USD through the Autumn, but you are correct - it has been gaining for quite a while now, and it is quite clear that central banks and the banking majors have been increasing their holdings.

Coming back to this one after some more reading over lunch - Waltz comes from the old school NeoCon national security wing of the party and worked directly for Dick Cheney as counterterrorism advisor. He is an ever war guy who is still angry about us leaving Afghanistan.
Dems are the party who got tied to the Cheney name because Liz campaigned for her saying “we agree on nothing, except that this guy is an authoritarian” yet they are the ones with the actual Cheney foreign policy that everyone hates the family for.

Short term financial gain or moving dirty money is my guess.
Crypto has spiked as soon as it became clear Trump was going to win. He has said he would keep it deregulated. The market is currently bullish and they want to ride that wave and ensure it goes as high as possible.

Can somebody please explain why he isn’t in now? January? Why? Cheers.
Because the journey by horse-drawn wagon from the far western frontier in Kentucky can take weeks, and it is not decent to ask a man to leave home for Christmas. The delegates are expected to leave home after the Christmas festivities, and reach Washington not later than the end of January, where all the representatives from all the states can get together, form an Electoral College, and choose who the President will be.
Obviously…

The transition period is the most dangerous time in US government. Yet we keep it going for 2 and a half months. The refusal to not bring our electoral process into the 21st century if only for that reason is amazing.

Fairly brutal take here from Josh Marshall on the Rubio and Stefanik appointments, the latter of whom was elected to congress as a genuine moderate and then became a lunatic almost the minute Trump was elected.

An eighteenth century mentality and twenty-first century technology do not good bedfellows make.

“You can’t buy your way into the White House”
In fact you can only buy your way in. You have to have incredible resources to run for President.

And a $44b social network having all the levers turned up to MAGA doesnt hurt.
But just to be clear, celebs are not paid appearance fees for these events. There are reasons to question the Harris campaign given the amount of money they raised and spent. Making shit up to do that is a demonstration of how unserious these people are.
