Black Swan Definition

- A black swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences.

- Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, severe impact, and the widespread insistence they were obvious in hindsight.

NEWS - Moving Markets

--- News was out about Noon - markets climbed significantly

--- But But But

---- 1:18PM news that Russia is banning all exports until 12/31/22 (Need to confirm this too)

---- If true - this could be  really problematic - described as a Suicide-bombing of the West.

-*-* ALL OF THESE MARKET MOVING ITEMS NEED TRIPLE CHECKED - Markets moving on nothing

Sneaky Cease Fire Proposal

- Moscow said on Monday it would provide corridors for residents of Ukraine's two main cities to flee to Russia and Belarus, a move Ukraine called an immoral stunt to exploit the suffering of civilians under Russian bombardment.

- "humanitarian corridors"

What Moving Markets?

- Fear F E A R

-- War

--- Prices

----- Projected Outlook

- Headlines

Nickel

- The London Metal Exchange halted trading in its nickel market after an unprecedented price spike left brokers struggling to pay margin calls against deeply unprofitable short positions.

- Nickel, used in stainless steel and electric-vehicle batteries, surged as much as 111% during the Asian day on Tuesday to trade briefly above $100,000 a ton.

- LME does not think they will open trading back up until at least March 11th.

So Much Sanctions

- Government  and Private Industry ganging up

- - When has this ever happened at this pace?

Tik Tok

- TikTok, the Chinese-owned video app, said on Sunday it would suspend live-streaming and the uploading of videos to its platform in Russia as it reviews the implications of a new media law signed on Friday by President Vladimir Putin.

McDonalds
