Does anyone else notice how Israel managed to turn countries in the region against each other? Last week Israel bombed Iran’s largest gas field, and Iran retaliated in kind by bombing Qatar’s largest gas field Yesterday Israel bombed Iran’s 3 largest steel plants, and again Iran retaliates in kind by bombing the UAE’s largest aluminum facility earlier today Are the leaders in the region seeing this?



Aussies pay $8B in alcohol excise every year (beer $2.7B alone) — direct tax on every drink. Meanwhile, gas giant Santos paid just US$17m (A$26m) Australian corporate income tax in 2024 on hundreds of millions profit — near 0% effective rate after deductions. (They paid more in royalties/PRRT, but still low corporate tax for years.) One company digs up & sells our resources… yet drinkers often pay more tax per slab than these giants pay in company tax.

Has the limit been reached? Norway raised wealth taxes → $50 billion in assets moved to Switzerland → government revenues fell by $450 million. California wants to tax billionaires more heavily → 30% of taxpayers have already left → expected revenue loss, $25 billion. The Netherlands implements tax on unrealized gains → people start to leave → expected €4 billion in revenues becomes an illusion. This is the Laffer Curve in action. An economic principle that has existed for more than fifty years, and is still being ignored. So, to all taxpayers, policymakers, investors, and politicians alike, at the very least, understand the concept before making decisions.

While all eyes are on oil, gas and fertilizers, coal is seen as a partial substitute for the lost energy supply. While the current situation is obviously a catalyst and an amplifier for coal, one may notice that coal miners, below represented by the $COAL ETF, have broken out even before the conflict. #OOTT
