Since September, Baron's investment firms, including DS Group, have entered the final stages of reducing their holdings in listed companies.
Simultaneously, they have also begun a broader short-selling campaign against stock markets in the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and other regions, as well as other securities. This
is because by this autumn, the US stock market will reach its peak before the subprime mortgage crisis.
Not only will Nvidia's stock price peak in the next two to three years, as Baron and Katherine Neville mentioned, in October of this year, but
it's also true that most companies' pre-subprime mortgage crisis market capitalization peaks will have occurred during that period.
Therefore, starting in September, the Black Swan Fund will gradually reduce its holdings in CDOs and CDSs, using the proceeds to prepare short-selling across all investment products, including the stock market, foreign exchange, gold, and crude oil futures.
Of course, the pace of this will vary. In the autumn, short-selling will still primarily focus on the stock market, and the US dollar will continue to decline, reaching its peak against the British pound and the euro by April of next year.

"Ms. Alamuddin, welcome to my team."
"It's my pleasure, Your Highness. I'm sure you won't regret your decision today."
The confident woman with Arabian-inspired features before Barron was his new personal legal advisor, Amal Alamuddin. His
previous advisor was retiring due to health reasons, and the confident and beautiful woman before him was one of several candidates he had recommended as his successor.
After a background check and an interview, Barron ultimately chose Amal.
Amal Alamuddin, born in 1978, is 29 years old.
According to information Barron had read about her, she was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and at the age of two, her family moved to England due to the war.
Amal's parents, both intellectuals, held her and her siblings to very high standards.
With their support, Amal Alamuddin attended exclusive private schools, consistently receiving top honors.
In 2000, 22-year-old Amal graduated from Oxford University's Law School. The following year, she moved to New York City and enrolled in New York University's Law School.
During her first semester at NYU, she worked for the Chief Justice of the United States Federal Court.
At the age of 26, Amal Alamuddin was admitted to both the United States and the United Kingdom as a lawyer, entering the International Court of Justice in The Hague to participate in legal work.
When Barron first saw Amal Alamuddin's profile, he felt a sense of familiarity. Only after meeting her in person did Barron recognize that his newly hired legal advisor was, in a previous life, the "most beautiful lawyer in Britain" who was later madly pursued by Hollywood star George Clooney.
All of Barron's companies have legal departments, but Amal Alamuddin serves as his personal legal advisor, a very important position.
Because of Barron's position, many matters require professional lawyers to protect him from various legal risks. These include many personal matters, such as confidentiality agreements with those working for him, and even his interactions with women, which require various risks to be avoided.
Beyond basic professional competence, the other party must be trustworthy, and some matters often require the assistance of personal counsel. For example, in the original time and space, Ivanta's father's personal lawyer had to help him pay "hush money" to women to prevent them from disclosing their private information.
However, Ivanta's father's status at that time was much lower than Barron's. His personal lawyer did not serve him alone, while Barron's personal counsel would certainly serve him individually and would accompany him most of the time, especially when he traveled abroad. Upon joining, Amar Alamuddin will have a week to transition with Barron's previous counsel and familiarize himself with his needs. After that, he will independently handle Barron
's personal legal affairs.
"This is my first time in Kolo. I heard you have a lot of investments there?"
"Actually, the investment there isn't that much compared to my own business, but for such a small African country, it's a substantial one."
Barron was speaking with the Queen's youngest son, Prince Andrew.
They were aboard the HMS Devonshire, en route to Kolo.
As a representative of the British royal family, Prince Andrew would visit several Commonwealth nations in Africa, and Kolo, a newly admitted Commonwealth nation, was the first stop on his itinerary.
Barron was also planning a trip to Kolo, so Andrew simply hopped on Barron's private jet and the two of them traveled together.
As the HMS Devonshire entered Kolo airspace, two Tornado F3 fighter jets flew in, flanking it.
"Are those our Tornado F3s?"
"Yes, Kolo has reportedly purchased some recently retired Royal Air Force aircraft, including these Tornados."
Many people know Prince Andrew because of the subsequent "Lolita Island List" scandal, which revealed his close ties with Epstein.
Objectively speaking, Prince Andrew has had his moments of glory. It's fair to say that his younger years were viewed quite differently than they were later.
He was the Queen's third child and her second after Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince—and the first child born to a reigning monarch since Queen Victoria gave birth to her youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice, in 1857.
In 1982, Prince Andrew joined the Naval Air Wing, serving aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Invincible.
Initially, the British public generally believed that Prince Andrew was enlisting in the navy to gain experience.
Then, the Falklands War broke out between Britain and Argentina. Margaret Thatcher took a hawkish stance, deploying ships, including the Invincible, to fight there.
Prince Andrew's direct participation in the front lines impressed the British public.
Because the prince was in imminent danger of being killed in combat, the British government initially considered transferring Andrew back to civilian work.
However, the Queen insisted that her son remain aboard the Invincible.
Finally, Prince Andrew accompanied the Invincible on an expedition as a pilot of the Sea King helicopter. He flew the aircraft to complete many anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare missions, and even acted as a "decoy missile" to attract the enemy's tracking missiles.
When the war ended and the Invincible returned triumphantly, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, like other crew members and their families, went to Portsmouth Naval Port to welcome their son back safely.
So it is not without reason that the Queen loves Andrew the most among all her children.
Later, after Prince Andrew got married, the media exposed a shocking photo of his wife Sarah on a beach vacation with a wealthy businessman. Public opinion was in an uproar, and Andrew could not wait to divorce her... He is still single until now, but his private life is very rich, and he is often exposed to some outrageous rumors.
Speaking of which, the Queen has done a lot to quell scandals for her youngest son...
