On The Pulse

Do you sometimes feel that life has become almost too complicated – not to say crazy - And not just since the onset of the Covid19 Pandemic…  Just a zap through the TV programs and we are inundated with news about: devastating floods and wild fires, hurricanes sweeping away millions of homes, Anti-Semitism and Racism and Pro-Democratic Demonstrations - be it in HK, Israel or Belarus. What about Brexit, Trade Wars and North Korea pushing for nuclear supremacy…the ice caps melting, soon more microplastic in our food than micronutrients…We hear about a stark rise in suicides (esp. women) and drug abuse…and I could go on and on…

In his book he writes: ‘Spiritual Practice for Crazy Times’ has the tools and techniques you need to access the sanctuary of peace and fortress of strength within you—at a moment’s notice, in whatever time you have.  We all have the sanctuary within us, question is how to access it!’ He means that we are actually all already in peace within, just being distracted by the madness around us. We must learn to be part of the world but not off it, i.e. healthy sense of detachment is necessary to keep ones calm and center.

Philips book is a collection of hands on tools like breathing, sensing, laughing, offering a path to calm down and face whatever we need to face in a conducive way.  About Philip: He’s been studying the world’s spiritual traditions for more than 45 years. He’s the author or co-author of some 25 books published in more than a dozen languages. His book American Veda was named by Huffington Post and Library Journal as one of the Top 10 Religion Books of 2010 and he blogs on Spirituality & Health and cohosts the Spirit Matters podcast.

What the heck happened on Wall Street and the rest of the Global Market on September 4 and 5 of 2020? Global markets fell most since June 2020, with the US Nasdaq even hitting a May 2020 low, losing over 5% in one session. It seems that doubt crept into investors’ minds about whether equities have risen too quickly and valuations are reaching extremes. Volatility has gained momentum again. Was the sell off just a quick correction? Are people worried about the continuation of the Covid19 pandemic and look weary ahead to THE key political event in November: the US Presidential election? Or worse? Are we seeing the start of a fundamental change in market trends and of investment sentiment and behavior for the rest of 2020?

Let’s recap: Since the US markets hit a Covid19 Pandemic and Lockdowns low on March 23, it rallied strong until September 3. Over that period the S&P 500 gained about + 60 %, the DOW was up a good + 56% and the Technology driven Index, the Nasdaq, gained a stunning +75 %. Sustainable? A bubble? What do investors (private and institutional) think, feel and most importantly expect from the financial markets for the rest of 2020?

So, I thought it was about time to check back in with our expert of behavioral finance, Manfred Hübner, to show us how his SENTIX-Sentiment-Index maps out investor’s minds and subsequent investment decisions. We talk about the ‘wall of worry’, US equities and bonds, inflation and Gold as well as Digital Assets. Enjoy his insights in the two-part conversation!

Manfred Hübner is Managing Partner at SENTIX Asset Management GmbH and the creator of the SENTIX-Global Investor Survey. It’s the leading investor sentiment barometer in Europe. He heads research and contributes his 30 years of capital market experience as chief strategist.

The Covid19 Pandemic has impacted brands globally, but the latest survey published by WPP and Kantar of the Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands of 2020 shows, that Global Brands have increased their total brand value by 6% over the last 12 months, adding $277 billion to reach $5 trillion in total value. True, the health crisis causes a broader economic downturn, as Travel has been decimated. Yet, TRADE and E-COMMERCE - especially of High Value Brands – continues to increase.

So, in this episode of ‘Covid19 – from crisis to creation’ we are looking how a strong brand and a sustainable branding strategy generates resilience during tough economic conditions. What does it take for a company to scale not only successfully around the planet but in a way that can weather ANY TYPE of Black Swan Event? AND we want to make it specific and Focus on ‘Made in Italy’ in the biggest Economy of the world, the USA!   In 2018 Italy’s exports to the US totaled more than 50bn US, about 10 % its total export volume toping 540bn USD a year. The US is Italy’s largest NON-EU export mkt. The latest report by WPP and Kantar showed that well-loved Italian-brands such as Gucci, Kinder, Ferrari, Prada, Nutella, Armani, Fendi and Pirelli, last year increased their brand value increased by over 14% to around $97 billion.

To get some insights, I invited the newly appointed US Trade Commissioner and Executive Director of the Italian Trade Agency – Antonino Laspina - for some key insights on Mentorit.TV

About Antonino Laspina: He joined the ITA (now part of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Economic Corporation) and moved to its headquarters in Rome/1981. Since then he served as trade commissioners in various posts around the world, mainly in Asia, including his period as Director of the ICE Beijing office. In 2007, he was named one of the “10 Greatest International Friends” of Chinese Fashion by China Fashion Week.

05:23 – Tech Eras & Blockchain Applications 

16:33 – Transparency & Trust 

20:17 – Regulation & ‘SMART’ Technologies 

The last serious global crisis was the Financial Crisis back in 2008/09! Apart from billions of USDs going up in smoke, one FUNDAMENTAL thing got completely crushed, too…can you guess? … Hint: it’s something that is very hard to gain, and very easy to destroy… people’s TRUST!   …TRUST in our financial system & regulators, in our political elite and institutions, there to protect all of us. Thousands of investors felt cheated and angry, yet helpless and defenseless against what they felt was a totally corrupted reality.  On the Flip Side …out of THAT CRISIS… something new was CREATED! A technology, that was supposed to be the antidote to corruption, to fraud and to the potential manipulation of our financial system: The Blockchain! In 2009 Satoshi Nakamoto invented the first Digital Currency – the Bitcoin – running on the Blockchain. The Blockchain, a Decentralized, peer 2 peer technology, can be described as a ‘TRUST LAYER’ to lend the highest degree of security to all stakeholders in the financial system, because it is a transparent and immutable electronic ledger.

Astrologer Alexander Graf von Schlieffen and me, we’re looking at Trump’s birth chart.

Welcome to the first part of my interview with Astrologer Alexander Graf von Schlieffen about Trump’s Zodiac & his Chances of Winning the 2020 US Election

What you get:

00.00 – 13.45 Trump is a Gemini & What it means

13.45 – 15.20 Trump, Jupiter & Money

15.20 – END The End of the 200 year ‘EARTH’ cycle

Astrologer Alexander Graf von Schlieffen and me, we’re looking at what Trump’s birth chart  ✨ reveals about his chances of winning the US election 2020.   In my conversation with Alexander, he describes President Donald Trump’s Star Sign: Gemini. Geminis are said to be two faced. Trump’s birth chart reveals that his character is composed of two extremes. The Jupiter, Saturn conjunctions makes him lucky, somewhat brilliant but he has a total detachment from reality and a lack of empathy. With Leo in the mix of his Zodiac, Trump is all about ‘me – myself and I’.   He embodies and fully represents the 200-year cycle which is coming to an end on December 21, 2020: The Earth Cycle. The last 200 years were all about materialistic values, numbers and quantity rather than quality.  His Zodiac also shows his utmost fear of feeling anything, never mind showing any deep feelings towards other people.   At the end of every époque comes the start of a now one. The next 200 years will be the AIR-Cycle which is all about content and sharing, cooperation and collaboration. An ear where people such as Trump will have little value if any.

Astrologer Alexander Graf von Schlieffen and me, we’re looking at Trump’s birth chart.

Welcome to the second part of my interview with Astrologer Alexander Graf von Schlieffen about Trump’s Zodiac & his Chances of Winning the 2020 US Election

What you get:

00.00 – 20.20 Trump’s Birth Chart

20.20 – 24.10 Biden & Harris the better leaders?

24.10 – END The Big Picture 2020

In this second part of my conversation Alexander shows in detail Trump’s natal chart and what it means for his life going forward. Alexander states that Trump is the wrong leader to lead into the new Air Cycle and the new époque build on intrinsic values rather than materialistic ones.

Trump has two big wounds that he struggles with for all his live and that is the fear of rejection and his total lack of empathy. The inability to feel feeling he tries to compensate through propagating a big ego and a strong sense of pride. But the natural cycles are stronger than him and his era will ‘bleed out’. His constellations show that he makes deals behind peoples back, has a tricky way of negotiating and tries to hide many things.

But also, Joe Bides’ stars do not seem to reveal he’s the right or better leader for the USA. He may be the catalyst for the ‘right one’, which seems to be indicated by the natal chart of Kamala Harris. She has more ‘personal qualities’ that feed the new AIR cycle of collaboration and coming together.
