I Don't Care, Care If It's Old

Brasileiro transforma Kurt Cobain em Batman com arte incrível

People are talking about the new Batman movie on the internet for a little while. What really caught my attention was the Nirvana song on it. It's one of my favorite bands of all time, and when big media wants a part of it, you know it's something big. 

I mean, Nirvana is kinda mythical to be employed everywhere. Since Courtney Love intruded on the rights to use the band's catalog, not even the former members were able to use it anymore. There's "Cold Case" TV series which put a whole set of Nirvana songs on one episode to give a feel of the 90s. At that time, it really blew my mind, it felt special!

This new trailer rekindled that sentiment in me. If only Nirvana tunes were heard everywhere, maybe it didn't feel special at all. Then there's this "Batman" movie coming out, and a Nirvana song in it (at least in the trailer,) which really mixed well with the scenes. I thought it was pretty cool indeed! I didn't quite like the trailer itself though - oh, man, another Batman movie - but the song brought a new all perspective to it. 

I believe I'm ready to watch this Matt Reeves' film. I actually don't know what Kurt would say about this, and I'm not a fan of nostalgia. However, considering Nirvana as a favorite, it is all good then!

Stocks Dilema


     picture: Daniel Haller

I've been trying to imagine why stock markets everywhere have risen, while people struggle to keep it together in the middle of the pandemic. Lately I've been listening that US have poured money on big companies, and this made an effect of keeping the value of US financial markets at a high note. Also, that it's not, at first place, an economic downturn. Part of society still have money, and they are saving, however, slowly they are spending again, and buying stock.

Apparently, that last statement makes sense, I reckon. I used to live in Australia during the last world economic recession, and we saw a abrupt stall of things there. The large amount of the population had their jobs, their savings, and only the most vulnerable would feel the shock. The thing is, nobody wanted to spend anything. Australia wasn't impacted by the recession much. If you had saved then, you could have moved on with your life.

I don't remember how the stock markets reacted over there, back in time. Nevertheless, at this time around, stocks all over are thriving, bit by bit, at least. In Brazil, the stock place has gained momentum and it is on the way up again. Experts believe that prices are being rearranged, and finding their best stock price. That it is the reason the Brazilian financial market, which is on 102.000 points, is not yet at their last level, at 130.000 points.

Some part of the media dedicated some time to try to explain this low level dilema. It sure did call my attention, I am no newbie to economic crisis, but I didn't make use of this moment to profit, unfortunately. If you are new to economic crisis, our time has passed away. The lowest the stock markets have got was the best chance to be successful on the stock exchange. When you are at it, however, you feel you could get stuck there indefinitely, but I was wrong, maybe lots of people too. The stocks rebounded and they are almost at their best again. Ok, see you at the next global crisis, see ya!
