KHC - Echoes Of Ceausescu's Scarcity Economy Means Investment Strategy Rethink Is Needed

• A number of local or national policies mostly meant to increase energy efficiency are starting to resemble the effects of the scarcity economy experienced under Ceausescu's regime in Romania.
• Such initiatives are a symptom of growing global scarcity issues, masked as environmental initiatives or as efforts to limit exposure to energy dependency on Russia.
• Geopolitical factors are making the scarcity issue already present due to economic and geological factors already present, much worse.
• I am overhauling my own personal long-term investment strategy in response to a drastically different investment environment, for the first time after 17 years of active trading.
• Global supply chain issues, due to geological scarcities, trade conflicts, geopolitical confrontations, and other factors make all investments riskier assets.  The key to managing is limiting the magnitude of exposure.
