Press release

You are at a small gathering of tech honchos, macro minds and business executives at
an apres-ski venue in Davos, Switzerland: "Before we've dealt with things in a given position, they've already changed several times," sighs a senior partner at a supply-chain consultancy. "To grasp the present, our
only hope is to see the future." "Well, you know what they say," replies the former head of research at JP Morgan. "If
you're gonna panic, panic early."
The secretary-general of a Cambodian trade body for goods manufacturers joins in. "The thing is, if you hit everybody evenly then you hit nobody. Besides, practically no geopolitical events since the Second World War have been bad for the markets." The head of a leading Brussels think-tank nods in agreement. "When the rockets are in
the air, just close your eyes and buy. Either you'll get rich or it won't matter."
