Is Cathie Wood funds in big trouble?

By July 1942, Hitler's Kriegsmarine (U-Boats) had sunk a nearly 1,000 merchant marine vessels off the East Coast of U.S.
FDR could not respond with a yawn.
By D-Day, the die was cast for Hitler. On June 6, German troops at the fortifications were in disbelief of the size of the Armada sailing at them.
But more so, that American troops had no horses.
Eisenhower had no fear of running out of gasoline or diesel.
German military had no such luxury.
The German troops at Normandy knew they lost the war that day, because Americans brought no horses with them.

 

Don't disagree, the post-WW1 socioeconomic environment in Germany was fertile ground for extremism on both the right and the left.

My point was simply to say that "French are cowards" or similar is ludicrous though. They failed to prepare for and subsequently lost WW2 due to an incompetent high command appointed because of aristocratic ties. Gamelin expected to fight WW1 again.

 

Incompetent. That's true.
The Maginot Line was a total waste of money.

 

Can we get back to our favorite HF manager instead of history lessons? Politics is down there...

 

At least she makes up for all of the really hot women on CNBC and Bloomberg.

 

You aren't seriously saying you don't think she's hot, are you?

Cathy Wood does look good in glasses. I always enjoyed Becky Quick on CNBC\ but never got excited about her last name /LOL, or watched CNBC much,

 

CW not my cup of tea.....at all. Hate women with glasses for the most part.

The French lost a lot of men during WWI. It's easy for Americans to point to Versailles as the cause of WW2, but the US, again, showed up late in the battle and suffered the least casualties. They could take a 10,000 ft view of the war that the French and Brits simply couldn't. That was the 2nd war against the Germans in less than 40 years (and the worst was yet to come) and the Allies sought to punish the Germans. Hindsight is always 100%... and in my opinion pointless to try to rewrite history with woulda-coulda-shoulda. Hitler didn't need to find many excuses to justify retaking "their" land or expand into others' or kill millions of Jews.

 

Goodness, 1942 you say? Geez, Hitler had already invaded most of Europe by then and the gaz chambers were in full swing... Perhaps Europe should thank the German navy for their skills at destroying US ships on the US East Coast or else everything else would only have elicited a yawn...
