CHRISTMAS COMPETITION - FINANCE HAIKU
from Capital Flows and Asset Markets · host Russell Clark
I want to run a competition to find the best finance haiku. This has been inspired by my recent post, “No Country For Old Macro”, when a subscriber left the following comment:Macro = atlantic ocean with 100m height of wavesInvestors = the sailing shipOnly the macro huge sailing ship may survive in the wavy Atlantic ocean especially during the storm.Poor retailer = sure die in the Atlantic oceanFor me it has haiku qualities - referencing nature to make a deeper point. As it so happens I am near Montserrat so was feeling inspired to turn this comment into a haiku - not hard with this view:I took the comments above and here are my efforts. First two on risks in the market:Easy breeze, strong currentMr portfolio goes ever higherOut of sight, winds riseOr alternatively:Acorn has grown over timeMighty oak - summer treeWinter snow, heavy weight, bough snapsThese are a bearish haiku What would a bullish one look like? On US dominance:The bald eagle soars so highOld eyes follow upHas she left them behind?Or perhaps for the crypto bulls:Promises flow like waterBut I need and seek only oneProof of work - bitcoinThink you can do better?!? (I really hope so!) I am offering a free 6 month paid subscription worth 380,000 Korean Won(!), or a signed cap by (potential) motor sport star Jarrett Clark, or 30 min zoom chat with me - whatever you fancy. You have one week - you can reply directly to this post or in the comments. If you have never written a haiku they are a poem of three lines with 5 syllables in first line followed by 7 and then 5 again. It should reference nature in some way. Good luck!
