Summary
Phil gives four examples that nothing has changed: (1) UK banks to be exempted from global minimum corporate tax on financial services; (2) Alibaba’s Jack Ma and Joe Tsai pledging $35B in stock to major banks — forced selling trigger risk; (3) Crypto lending creating yield strategies that will collapse when land prices fall; (4) Wirecard and Greensill collapses were mid-cycle events not involving land — that’s why recovery was easy. The 2026 collapse will involve land prices, catching more investors by surprise.
