Why bitcoin ETFs launch won't be a 'buy the rumor, sell the news' event
Morningstar online
2023-11-16
The crypto space has seen several cases where the popular strategy "buy the rumor, sell the news" was applicable, meaning the price of a digital asset would rise as traders purchased it in anticipation of a positive news event, but fall after the actual event happens, as many buyers already exhaust themselves and become natural sellers.
Op-Ed: Ukraine’s Nuclear Plants: How Can We De-escalate Russia’s Real Nuclear Threat?

EmoryBusiness.com shares this timely Op-Ed written by Goizueta Assistant Professor of Finance Tetyana Balyuk, Tania Babina (Columbia University), Anastassia Fedyk (UC Berkeley), and Yuriy Gorodnichenko (UC Berkeley). The brutal attack of Putin’s army on Ukraine is escalating as we breathe. Yet, the vital act of breathing has been endangered for millions of people after yesterday’s strikes by the Russian military at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). People across Europe and the world sat on the edge of their seats watching this unfold. Hours later, the threat was contained—this time. In an alternative universe, the catastrophe would have been multiple times more dangerous than that of the Chornobyl and Fukushima nuclear disasters. And in our actual universe, that of Russia’s continuing escalation, the threat remains that more damage will be inflicted on Ukraine’s nuclear plants, and next time might not be contained. Closing the Ukrainian sky or at least providing Ukraine with cutting-edge anti-missile systems such as the Patriot system would protect not only the lives of innocent civilians, including children, from airstrikes but also all of Europe from explosions in Ukraine’s NPPs.

EmoryBusiness.com shares this timely Op-Ed written by Goizueta Assistant Professor of Finance Tetyana Balyuk, Tania Babina (Columbia University), Anastassia Fedyk (UC Berkeley), and Yuriy Gorodnichenko (UC Berkeley). The unthinkable is happening. Putin started an aggressive war against the people of Ukraine, a fellow Slav country in the middle of Europe. Babi Yar, a place where many thousands of people were shot by Hitler’s army to prove an insane racial theory, is where people are killed again by Putin’s army. Putin rattles nuclear weapons to scare the world. And yet money from Russian oil and gas exports are flowing to Putin’s coffers to pay for death and destruction.
