I recently read about the potential impact of Trump’s tariffs on the global economy. The tariffs could lead to a significant shift in the post-World War 2 global world order, with implications as significant as that of COVID-19. The focus is not only on the tariffs themselves but also on the underlying thinking behind them, particularly America’s shifting stance on international trade.

Another article I came across discussed the falling yields on 6-month T-Bills and the implications for investors looking for higher yields. With T-Bill yields dropping to 2.38% per annum, investors are exploring alternative options to park their cash. One suggestion made in the article is to consider Bond Funds, with the United SGD Fund highlighted as an option for Singaporean investors.

Furthermore, I read an interesting piece on the top mistakes even experienced investors make. The article emphasizes that financial markets are unpredictable, and human emotions and biases can influence investment decisions. However, making mistakes can be beneficial as they provide valuable lessons that help investors refine their strategies and improve decision-making skills.

Lastly, I learned about the difference between growing and scaling in the context of SaaS companies. The author highlights the importance of understanding this difference for SaaS leaders. The article also covers topics such as fundraising tips from SaaS founders, the importance of financial forecasts for fundraising, and the trend towards usage-based pricing in the SaaS industry. Overall, these articles provided valuable insights into various aspects of the financial world.

Stay Well!
