Bubble within a bubble within a bubble - Time to think about regenerative investment

There are endless posts about the AI bubble, so I don't have to explain that one. Here's one particularly insightful article on it. A less talked about one is the "bubble" being created by oil pricing soaring as a result of the Iran war. A boom like that is very likely to be followed by a bust. And then there is the longer-term but HUGE "bubble" that very few want to talk about. That's the undeniable fact that since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution we have been building a system depend

China, EU slam proposed US tariffs, reject forced labour allegations

The administration of US President Donald Trump has proposed new tariffs of up to 12.5 per cent on imports from China and dozens of other trading partners, using a forced-labour investigation to advance what analysts see as a bid to rebuild its tariff regime after recent court setbacks. The Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) said on Tuesday that China and 59 other economies failed to prohibit or adequately restrict US imports made with forced labour, subjecting them to punitive action.

Options trading using margin as collateral on Vanguard vs Fidelity vs Schwab

On Vanguard, when you get approved for margin, you can use the margin cash you receive as collateral for shorting puts. You can do this on trading level 2, which means vanguard does not consider shorting options using margin cash as a 'naked' or 'unsecured' position, since to be able to trade naked puts you need to be approved for trading level 4. Is it the same on Fidelity and Schwab, where you can use margin cash to as collateral to secure shorted puts, without it being considered a naked or u

A Barrel Trapped Behind Hormuz Isn't Spare Capacity

At the start of 2026, oil traders were preparing for a glut. Supply growth was expected to outpace demand growth. OPEC+ was gradually returning barrels to the market. U.S. production remained near record highs. Economic growth was slowing, while electrification and efficiency gains were expected to temper consumption growth. The consensus view was simple: the world was heading into a period of excess supply. Six months later, that narrative never came true. Not because the world suddenly ran out

emergency fund of $11k + €10k, IBKR? TR? Or?

I have 11K$ and 10K€ emergency fund. My bank is eating it away 6€ a month as service fees. So I'm looking at my options. I can load it up to Trading 212 (since Trade republic doesn't hold dollars) earn interest on them. I can load it up to my IBKR account and let it just sit there. At least doesn't eat away via fees. I can put them in a short term money market fund via IBKR. What would you do? Do I need this next months? No. I've got some cash so I don't need it "liquid right now" but I need it
