Goldilocks and Seeds of Wisdom

Thank you R.J……

R.J.:  Goldilocks posted 3 links regarding digital asset trading with commentary.

Goldilocks:  Three things have recently developed in the digital asset trading system through the SEC.

First, the SEC has adopted the final rule to move from a two-day settlement to a one-day settlement. This is all possible because of the transformation processes taking place in our new digital asset-based economy.

Second, how this is accounted for through digital ledger transmission such as the ISO20022 that records both sides of a trade leaving a documented footprint on what took place inside an International Payment System.

\And finally, security and settlement transmissions through Web 3 applications will give us the ability to do these transactions through an International Banking System.

The Gold Standard is more than backing a piece of paper with gold. It is a process that includes banking system procedures whereby everyone is doing the same thing to get the same results all over the world.

Heresy Financial:  2-21-2023

Many investors are on the lookout to find where the next black swan might come from that could take down the markets.

And it looks like it might be hiding in plain sight in the junk bond market. Basically, you have companies that have, number one, a high amount of debt.

Number two, they have debt at very high interest rates. And number three, they have overstated their future earnings to the point where they may not be able to repay their debt.
