Into 2022
Happy New Year to all, it seems 2022 is off to a rocky start already with deep divisions over pandemic politics, riots and international tensions. All of this will contribute to rocky market conditions, from the stock market to crypto to venture to real estate. The list of what will keep us busy this year is long:
Omicron and ongoing pandemic
Inflation
Turbulent markets
Russia & Ukraine
Iran & the World
China & the World
Deep political divisions in almost all democracies
US mid-term elections
Winter Olympics in Beijing
And yes: FIFA World Cup in Qatar
It is my goal to get back into more regular updates on Substack and fill your inboxes with some thoughts and analysis. It will be diverse, to use a popular term. There will be a lot more on politics as there is so much happening on that level that will drive events forward that I can no longer really ignore it. And as a born and raised European, I think it is important to start tracking what is happening on the old continent and contrast it what is happening here in North America.
Look forward to connect with all of you this coming year, get feedback and engage in some meaningful discussions.
