20 Years in Investing, Still Can Not Figure This Out!

What Harvard and Yale, and Oxford and Cambridge are putting forward?

We have potential global nuclear disbalance by Iran and N Korea.

We have escalating global shortage of drinking water and metals.

We have global financial crisis.

Anyone can answer my question?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights related to your concerns:

  1. Global Nuclear Disbalance:

    • The context mentions the combined total of 4,118 nuclear warheads, highlighting the ongoing concerns about nuclear capabilities and the geopolitical tensions that arise from them. This includes the U.S.'s actions against firms like Huawei and ZTE, and the bans on Chinese chipmakers, which are part of broader national security measures.
  2. Global Shortage of Drinking Water and Metals:

    • The context discusses the importance of water, especially in regions like California, where water issues could impact hydro imports and power reliability. The need for better management of solar energy and the installation of more batteries is also mentioned as a solution to some of these issues.
  3. Global Financial Crisis:

    • The context touches on various factors that could lead to a recession, such as tensions in the Middle East, potential OPEC oil embargoes, and the manipulation of global markets by countries like Saudi Arabia. Other contributing factors include increasing numbers of retirees, massive student debt, rising healthcare costs, stagnant real wage growth, and elevated housing prices.
  4. Educational Institutions' Role:

    • The context criticizes top schools like Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and Cambridge for not expanding their class sizes despite the growing global population. It argues that these institutions should focus on educating the smartest people from around the world to solve major global challenges, such as controlled nuclear fusion, high-temperature superconductivity, and AI for automating supply chains.

These points provide a comprehensive view of the interconnected global issues and the role of educational institutions in addressing them.

Don't even ask the question. The answer is yes, it's priced in. Think Amazon will beat the next earnings? That's already been priced in. You work at the drive thru for Mickey D's and found out that the burgers are made of human meat? Priced in. You think insiders don't already know that? The market is an all powerful, all encompassing being that knows the very inner workings of your subconscious before you were even born. Your very existence was priced in decades ago when the market was valuing Standard Oil's expected future earnings based on population growth that would lead to your birth, what age you would get a car, how many times you would drive your car every week, how many times you take the bus/train, etc. Anything you can think of has already been priced in, even the things you aren't thinking of. You have no original thoughts. Your consciousness is just an illusion, a product of the omniscent market. Free will is a myth. The market sees all, knows all and will be there from the beginning of time until the end of the universe (the market has already priced in the heat death of the universe). So please, before you make a post on wsb asking whether AAPL has priced in earpods 11 sales or whatever, know that it has already been priced in and don't ask such a dumb fucking question again.
