U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has commented on the potential of a digital dollar, but is hesitant to come to any conclusions at this stage of the process. Whether the Federal Reserve should create a digital version of the dollar would require consensus among Congress, the Fed and the White House. Yellen currently sees advantages as well as disadvantages to a digital dollar and says more research needs to be done before definitive answers can be found.

I think it's a good opportunity to pick up a few small positions of Chinese stocks. What do you think?

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐯𝐬. 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐤𝐨? Trade-off between ambitious tech companies and a strong-regulatory government? The Chinese government is banning an entire industry from making money, and for investors, the question is what next? China is known for its tough education system and sense of duty, which makes education and thus e-learning a high priority in the Chinese market. According to iiMediaResearch and iResearch, e-learning revenue exceeded $60 billion in 2020, and the Corona crisis has pushed the e-learning market up to a 100 billion valuation. 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐡 𝐆𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐥ä𝐬𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐣𝐞𝐭𝐳𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐤𝐚𝐮𝐦 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐧, as over the weekend the Chinese government reformed or away-regulated and announced to take away the business basis of e-learning platforms. According to this, companies that teach school curriculum programs are no longer allowed to make profits or go public. Furthermore, children under the age of 6 may no longer be taught at all and the programs must be discontinued.

News regarding economic intervention must always lead to a re-evaluation of one's portfolio. In the short term, many investors remain in the dark and the confidence to make money with China stocks, especially in the tech sector, has definitely disappeared. We do not like the interventions at all, of course, nevertheless, the strong correction can be used at the moment for optimistic investors and enter the Chinese market countercyclically.
