Furkan Yildirim asked why Wall Street professionals are currently preparing for a potential severe stock market crash, in his view, even though the S&P 500 is just below its record. He cited data such as the Skew Index and pointed out that hedge funds are positioned defensively according to Goldman Sachs as they have been for years. In six weeks, S&P 500 futures worth $63.7 billion have been sold; at the same time, there are record bets on falling prices for small US stocks. There is particular demand for protection against extreme cases. Yildirim announced a macro deep dive with 20 charts from Goldman Sachs, BofA, Deutsche Bank, and TS Lombard. In it, he wants to address market positioning, possible parallels to 1987, 1994, 2000, or 2023, three scenarios weighted by him, and possible consequences for gold and Bitcoin. He asked whether he should record the video on the same day. #Marktanalyse #Investment #Wirtschaft (translated)

Maarten van den Berg wrote that the economic position of the EU would change significantly in the near future. According to him, Germany, France, and Italy accounted for 13.8% of the world economy based on purchasing power parity in 1992, compared to 6.9% now. He stated that the share of the G7 would decrease from 47% to 26% by 2031 according to the IMF, and that the BRICS countries had already surpassed the G7 around 2020. Van den Berg wrote that the growth of the BRICS countries mainly came from India. He noted that China remained around 20%, with Russia, Brazil, and South Africa not far behind; he pointed out that these countries did not participate in Paris2030 and the Green Deal. He argued that economic weight was not automatic and had to be earned through growth. #Economie #EU #WereldwijdeGroei (translated)

Korina Graf described Friedrich Merz's visit to Kyiv as a response to Moscow's warning to foreign visitors and diplomats. She wrote that Merz is traveling despite the warning, and this sets a signal against attempts at intimidation. According to Graf, the visit should bring concrete support: thousands of interceptor drones, a joint production of long-range weapons, one billion euros in military aid, and 350 million euros for repairing the energy supply. She noted that the presence of companies from the defense and energy sectors matched the needs of Ukraine. Graf explained that credible support means showing presence, standing up to intimidation, and strengthening Ukraine's defense. In her view, the announced funds must become effective quickly, especially before winter. #UkrainischeUnterstützung #MerkelBesuch #PutinsKriegsgefahr (translated)
Andreas Dorfmann wrote that he reported live from Alexanderplatz in East Berlin on the night of October 2 to 3, 1990. His team from the German-language US broadcaster RIAS 2 in West Berlin broadcasted from several locations in the East and West on the night of reunification. That night and the following day remained unforgettable for him; with the unity, a dream had come true for him. As a native West Berliner and then moderator and editor, he experienced RIAS Berlin as the most successful station from the West in the East. The broadcaster was founded in 1946 by the USA in Berlin, targeted all Germans until its dissolution between 1992 and 1993, and was part of his professional career. Dorfmann wrote that he hated the Wall and the methods of the SED-DDR state. The freedom of West Berlin was primarily ensured by the protection of the United States; the USA also particularly advocated for reunification. For this, he remained grateful to the Americans. Dorfmann called for the values of the Western world as well as freedom of opinion and press to be defended against attacks. He wrote that there were once again many people in Germany who wanted to rob freedom and sovereignty, and suggested reflecting on this on the Day of German Unity. #TagDerDeutschenEinheit #DeutscheEinheit #Berlin (translated)

🔊Bitte unterstützen Sie unsere Petition, für jedes Opfer, auch für die Namenlosen. Niemand darf vergessen werden. https://t.co/sUyyoGRM5P Die bürgerliche Initiative Trauerwache Deutschland setzt sich für ein dauerhaftes und würdiges öffentliches Gedenken an die Opfer seit 2015 ein - unabhängig von ihrer Herkunft, ihrer Nationalität oder ihrem Glauben. Unser Anliegen orientiert sich am Gleichheitsgedanken des Artikels 3 des Grundgesetzes: Die Würde der Opfer und das Leid ihrer Angehörigen dürfen nicht unterschiedlich gewichtet werden. Bestehende Gedenkveranstaltungen sind wichtige Zeichen. Wir wünschen uns darüber hinaus eine verlässliche und regelmäßige Erinnerungskultur, die allen Opfern den gleichen Stellenwert in Gesellschaft und Politik einräumt. Dabei geht es darum, Opfergruppen miteinander zu verbinden, Erinnerungslücken zu schließen und Hinterbliebenen dauerhaft Anteilnahme, Würde und Respekt zu zeigen - als verbindendes Zeichen des gemeinsamen Erinnerns: Gegen das Vergessen. #Gedenken #Opfer #Erinnerung
Nederland wordt simpelweg niet meer serieus genomen. Je kunt elke mening hebben over Mark Rutte, maar hij was de laatste Nederlandse premier die wereldwijd echt serieus werd genomen. Schoof was ongekend, onervaren en een compromisleider. Jetten is belachelijk. In Washington, maar ook elders, worden Jetten en zijn luchtige, oppervlakkige houding letterlijk bespot. Maar erger nog: Jetten is niet alleen een lichtgewicht, maar ook gevaarlijk. Vorige week koos hij er in New York voor om alleen radicale linkse elementen te ontmoeten. Geen poging tot brede dialoog. Hij is dus een soort linkse activist als Nederlands premier. Decennialang stond Nederland bekend als een land dat in de geopolitieke strijd boven zijn gewichtsklasse meespeelde. Met name Amerika nam de Nederlanders sinds het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog bijzonder serieus. Ze beschouwden hun standpunten als zeer waardevol. Jetten trekt daar een streep onder. De anti-Israëlische aanpak van zijn regering zou wel eens de druppel kunnen zijn die de emmer doet overlopen. #Politiek #Nederland #Rutte
Beste Mirjam, chemokuren, gastric bypasses en verstandskiezen trekken zijn óók onomkeerbaar maar niet strafbaar. Daar vertrouwen we op eed en beroepsethiek van arts om patient te helpen de goede beslissing te nemen. Ja, ik realiseer me als huisarts terdege het gewicht van abortus. Voor sommige vrouwen de juiste,voor sommige vrouwen de verkeerde keuze. Maar uiteindelijk: hún keuze! Alle respect als een vrouw om religieuze reden kiest voor ‘geen abortus’. Maar leg jouw persoonlijke normen niet op aan een vrouw die jouw overtuiging niet deelt. Goddank kunnen we vrij kíezen - laten we dat zo houden. cc @jesseklaver #Abortus #VrijeKeuze #Beroepsethiek
