In the current economic circumstances, there are some pretty large numbers being throw
around by both governments and the financial media.

The U.S. budget deficit this year, for example, is projected to hit $3.8 trillion, which woul
more than double the previous record set during the financial crisis ($1.41 trillion in FY2
Meanwhile, the Fed has announced “open-ended” asset-buying programs to support the e
which will add even more to its current $7 trillion balance sheet.

Given the scale of these new numbers—how can we relate them back to the more conven
numbers and figures that we may be more familiar with?

However, it’s worth mentioning that because of their non-tangible nature, the value of fin
All of the World’s Money and Markets in One Visualization
derivatives are measured in two very different ways. Notional value represents the posit
obligation of the contract (i.e. a call to buy 100 shares at the price of $50 per share), while
market value measures the price of the derivative security itself (i.e. $1.00 per call option
multiplied by 100 shares).

It’s a subtle difference that manifests itself in a big way numerically.

The Growing Wave of Oil & Gas Bankruptcies in 2020

2020 hasn’t been kind to the energy sector, and a growing wave of energy bankrupt 
has started to build.

After a difficult year marred by rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and cr
prices in the $50-60 per barrel range, analysts warned that the energy sector needed
strong recovery to offset a rising (and expiring) mountain of debt.

Instead, the oil patch has seen one bombshell after another, and the impacts are add
up.

Fueled by a slew of new research, psychedelics may hold the key to treating a multit
of debilitating disorders such as addiction, PTSD, and depression.

But as an industry that has laid dormant for decades, it will need to shed its negativ
connotations that have limited its potential and undermined new discoveries for so
