For many, the dramatic collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX represented the Lehmann Brothers moment for the crypto-sphere, and a watershed moment for the industry which proves it is not a viable alternative to traditional financial, also known as TradFi.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that FTX was a centralised exchange which traded decentralised financial products, so it’s demise should only serve to strengthen the case for truly decentralised finance (DeFi).

After all, DeFi is designed to enable self-custody of digital assets. If people choose to hand their DeFi assets to a centralised exchange, which subsequently loses the assets, DeFi is not to blame.

As MicroStrategy co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor recently stated, “speaking for all the bitcoiners, we feel like we are trapped in a dysfunctional relationship with crypto and we want out.”

This is the moment in the short history of decentralised finance that we need to think seriously about rules and regulations that will provide it with a sustainable future. DeFi is in need of its own version of Bretton Woods.

In July 1944, during World War II, the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference -known more popularly as the Bretton Woods conference – reached agreements on an international financial architecture that, with some modifications and additions, has prevailed to this day.

That agreement was designed to create a rule-based international financial architecture and open trading system that would reduce protectionism, rampant nationalism and growing inequality.

The institutions that were established at the Bretton Woods conference and subsequently -the IMF, the World Bank Group, and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) -tried to remain relevant by adapting to a changing world.

Today however our international financial infrastructure seems broken. Rampant global inflation, disrupted supply chains, increasing inequality and rising protectionism indicate that we need to radically rethink our economic architecture.

While there is no silver bullet solution to all of the world’s current economic problems, one can convincingly argue that the eventual solution for each might have one common denominator – sound money, for which truly decentralised finance is invaluable.  

To understand the need for sound money, it is first necessary to understand the deficiencies of the current fiat standard by which we operate, in which rampant money printing has become a feature rather than a bug, causing the inflation which leads to countless other problems in turn.

The consequence has been an economic system that relies heavily on monetary debasement and credit creation, both of which are achieved through quantitative easing, a euphemism for rampant money printing.

While attempting to be a source of macroeconomic stabilization, central bankers inadvertently create instability through the manipulation of the money supply. By manipulating the supply of money, all global pricing mechanisms become distorted.

As the economist Fredrik Hayek describes in “The Use of Knowledge in Society”, the price mechanism is the greatest distribution – and indeed decentralised – system of knowledge in the world. When the price mechanism becomes distorted, false signals are distributed throughout the economic system and the result is an imbalance between supply and demand which ultimately creates instability and fragility.

Here lies the problem. At no added cost to themselves, central banks can increase the supply of money at their will, causing each individual unit of currency to decrease. This represents the opposite of ‘hard’ money, because it is easy to produce.

Thankfully, the breakthrough of blockchain technology and the advent of Bitcoin provide a blueprint on which to build a new era for hard, or ‘sound’, money. According to Tim Heath, the founder and general partner of Yolo Investments, a venture capital firm, “Bitcoin represents the choice between holding a form of currency that is continually and systematically debased by central banks or a form of currency that cannot be manipulated. With its fixed supply, Bitcoin is the check, balance and ultimate opt-out of the problem of money-printing.”

So the question arises, how does one build Bretton Woods-like institutions to regulate the world towards a universal Bitcoin standard? In one sense, the answer is ‘you don’t’. You build an ecosystem that enables co-existence between decentralised finance (DeFi) and existing forms of money, and let the hand of the market reach an equilibrium between the two.

On the other hand, the FTX debacle demonstrates that it might be high time for some clearer regulatory framework which safeguards the inherent value of decentralised finance. As Michael Saylor went on to add “I think the industry needs to grow up and the regulators are coming into this space.”

The nature of DeFi means that part of the answer will simply emphasise individual responsibility, and the imperative for retail investor to take their Bitcoin off the exchanges. But more must be done to protect those who don’t. Exchanges should be obliged to issue ‘proof of reserves’ statements to ensure they are not themselves over-leveraged and have sufficient funds to back up investor deposits.

The average consumer should also have easier access to DeFi products and services, providing them with greater choice as to where to store value on the DeFi-TradFi spectrum. This would be greatly accelerated if regulators approved the creation of a spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange traded funds), such that ordinary retail investors could buy Bitcoin on well-regulated securities exchanges.

The right balance will require a mixture of push and pull factors, but undeniably something has got to give. It’s high time that regulators recognised the value of decentralised finance and the fact that it is here to stay. The sooner we make it safe for consumers, the healthier it will be for the financial sector as a whole.

Johannes Larsson, the founder and CEO of www.financer.com, a global financial comparison website that helps people make better choices, has gained inspiration from many successful entrepreneurs.

Those people had become his mentors and personal heroes over the course of a decade while he built his successful business creating websites that would support his affiliate marketing ventures. He credits one such mentor, Grant Cardone, with teaching him how to raise his goals by 10 times in an effort to avoid thinking too small and scaling the business at a much faster rate. There were others, like Tai Lopez, Marcus Aubrey, Robin Sharma, Manny Khoshbin and Ed Mylett who left their professional mark on Larsson.

But one mentor in particular, made a lasting impression on Larsson that would ultimately change the way he would do business forever.

As Larsson would grow his website building business, he found it harder to hang on to the hopes of living a life that would afford him the flexibility of working where he wanted, when he wanted. He was unhappy in his day-to-day work life, but he struggled with the thought of scaling back for fear he would lose what he had already worked so hard for.

His mentor, at the age of 80, looked at the young successful Larsson and asked him a simple question: When Larsson became 80 years old, would he look back over his career and have any regrets? Would he regret the opportunity to travel the world, or would he regret living the business structure he created that confined him to an office.

Those were the words Larsson needed to hear, and he started to make changes. He knew he could find a way to be more successful than ever, but still live the life he envisioned. He let go of what he had known about entrepreneurship up until that point and decided to start over. This time, he would approach his business model completely differently – from how much work he would take on to who he would hire and how those employees would be managed.

The result came in the form of the personal finance business, Financer.com, complete with a narrowed focus and a dedicated team of remote workers from all over the world.

It was the first time Larsson believed in the success of putting all of his eggs into one basket. He was no longer focused on the hundreds and hundreds of websites he had built. Now, his multimillion-dollar company operates in 26 markets, and he lives the life of the digital nomad he had always dreamed of becoming.

But even more importantly, through his own reinvention, he has become the mentor to many. As he made his way following the advice of those who had inspired him and made such an impact on his life, he himself became the businessman many others now watch.

Dear Friends & Clients:

 The Third Quarter starts in July and ends in September. We made 14%, and it was down 15.7% at the end of the third Quarter. Hayden Capital was established in 1997, and we have returned a 160% net of fees, or 16% CAGR. As a backdrop to returns since inception, we comfortably exceed two widely used representative indices for a passive small company investing, the iShares MicroCap ETF and Russell 2000 Index, and the S&P.

Because our portfolio is concentrated on just a handful of typically small “off the beaten path” businesses, we can expect variance from and greater volatility than the indices. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and we typically invest in 6-15 names at any given time.

As a reminder, Hayden Capital Management does not invest in the hydrocarbons or aerospace/defense industries. Every quarter, I write – and then delete – a more comprehensive section about the decision to avoid these market areas. Given some recent conversations about whether I do “impact investing,” it seems an appropriate time to address it.

I’d previously thought of “impact investing” as a form of ESG investing, but it seems more a sort of Peter Lynch’s “buy what you know” meets PT Barnum’s “buy for the show.” It includes portfolios running the gamut from companies representing “conservative values” to those whose products promote “liberal values,” whatever any of that means.

One Wealth Manager recently told me that “impact investors” will tolerate sub-par returns. The value investor in me scoffs at investing in companies divorced from return expectations. Yet, one can observe that shoppers tend to spend money on things for how it makes them feel, and shopping shares certain features with investing, so why should it be different? One needn’t look far to see how lines that generally separate things can often blur.

As a long-term investor, I view myself as a part owner of a business. I don’t seek out businesses I know, I seek out investments that can return 2x in five years, but I very much enjoy being a part owner of companies whose products I use or “observe in the wild.”

We don’t own shares in CoreCard (something I think belongs in every small-cap investor’s portfolio) because they process payments for the ParkMobile app, but I do enjoy using the app knowing that

~$0.04 of every transaction generates revenue for one of our holdings. When my wife broke her arm, I’m certain it wasn’t so a surgeon would install a plate using a Depuy/Synthes torque-limiting driver made by PDEX, but knowing that’s what he used is neat, IMHO.

The inverse of this utility function defines my principle of avoidance. I appreciate the benefits of a strong military and an oil and gas industry, without which our society as we know it would not exist. But I don’t want to – nor am I compelled to – be a part owner of companies that drop bombs on people’s heads or contribute to the greenhouse effect, like a bomb dropping on our heads in slow-motion. I don’t want to participate in those ecosystems more than I do.

What would make me change my mind? When I covered the Engineering & Construction sector, I was elbow deep in the petrochemical space. The “Majors,” their service providers, and their downstream refiners and processors, headquartered here and operating globally, are organizations that regularly implement complex feats of incredible technology, including, in some cases, in the alternative energy space. If the technologies around various kinds of mitigation or sequestration improve if the balance of carbon outputs shifts and if the market assigns zero terminal value on the assumption that “there is no oil post 20XX”, I think it would be foolish not to reconsider my views. I won’t remain didactic if the facts change, but I will abide by the investment parameters set by my clients, should there be any.

The impact I want to make, first and foremost, is on my client’s capital; to pay for college, a down payment on a house, a vacation, a scholarship, retirement, et al. Narrowing my strike zone by avoiding specific industries is part of this process. At best, it offers an alignment of principles. At worst, it exposes clients to assets different from what they’ll find elsewhere. In a decision-making business-like investment management, revisiting and articulating the reasons behind decisions is an essential aspect of the job.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE: REVIEW OF TOP HOLDINGS

Top performers in the quarter were QHRC, CCRN, and RBCN. Major detractors were CCRD and AIM. In last quarter’s letter, which was less than 90 days ago, I wrote substantially about these companies, and my reasons for owning them haven’t changed (though RBCN was acquired).

I recently called the CEO of CCRN to address some concerns about qualitative issues I’d observed in their business. His answers were reasonable. His team has significant material experience at AYA and AMN, the two most prominent companies in the space. Having covered business and industrial services for many years, I think entrepreneurism and technology are operational and cultural foundations for success, and we spent some time drilling into this. I laid out my variant perspective in last quarter’s letter and think the ingredients are in place for continued outperformance.

I continue the effort to upgrade our portfolio by consolidating around what will be the highest IRR ideas. In this vein, I have exited long-term holding PSSR at a substantial loss. This airport management system fumbled its transition from a niche embedded system (mechanical radar) to

a platform-driven ADS-B world. It is our second largest detractor from returns to date, exceeded only by CTEK, which we exited last quarter

Investing in “platform” businesses can offer attractive returns, but many small companies often fail to achieve “platform status”. I’ve had mixed results investing in the theme. I did poorly with PSSR in aviation and many years ago in ACEC in telecommunications; both companies were too small to penetrate a consolidating market or had consolidated around prominent players.

We did well with ARIS (dealer management software; lots of niche disaggregated small businesses), and I’m confident that the payments systems and exchanges we own are terrific businesses; CCRD is an example of the former, and we hold FRMO partly for its position in the Miami Exchange, nee Minneapolis Grain Exchange.

I mention all this because I am adding another that’s evolving by selling one company that failed to transition from legacy enterprise to subscription. It’s a small company with a newly installed management team that helmed our prior successful investment. The company is attempting a two-step evolution from a transactional business to a large corporation to a subscription system and ultimately to a platform for managing and organizing niche data sets. Notably, it is targeting the disaggregated SMB market.

We’ve owned a small position primarily on my trust in management. Having observed the company over the last year and watched it skillfully adapt and upgrade – they’d inherited a business that had suffered with underinvestment and under management – I’ve gained more comfort in their ability to address the threats and opportunities ahead. We don’t own enough yet.

IN CONCLUSION: ON THE ARTS

I recently came across a quote from Adam Grant’s book “Originals” about Galileo and his discovery of

mountains on the moon, and I cherry-picked it to make a pithy comment about art and investing.

“When Galileo made his astonishing discovery of mountains on the moon … he recognized the zigzag pattern separating the light and dark areas of the moon. Other astronomers were looking through similar telescopes, but only Galileo could appreciate the implications of the dark and light regions. He had the necessary depth of experience in physics and astronomy but also a breadth of experience in painting and drawing. Thanks to artistic training in chiaroscuro, which focuses on representations of light and shade, Galileo could detect mountains where others did not.”

Anyone living in a built environment is surrounded by art, and though it might all fade into the background, it is there by design and sometimes by regulations. It often needs to be presented in a context like a museum to be noticed. And because it goes unnoticed, its value is overlooked.

Art not only offers an opportunity to notice things a little bit differently – a critical aspect of investing

– it adds beauty and meaning to our lives. I couldn’t say it any better than Leo Lionni did in “Frederick the Mouse,” so go have a baby, buy the book, read it to them, and you’ll understand where I’m coming from.

And then when you read the next 10K or 10Q, expert network or conference call transcript,

consider the subtext of what they’re talking about and why. I’m not suggesting that something magical will appear. Still, in observing things a little differently, at some point, a public filing or transcript will stand out that rings a little different, whose subtext offers a more honest accounting of operations than the typical rosy-eyed pabulum. Then you may realize you have found a company that “thinks” and operates differently, and maybe it is worth a little extra time. I think CCRD and RELL communicate and act differently among our holdings.

Seeing things through the same lens as everyone else but coming to a different conclusion is itself an art, and it is central to investing in a market that is not supported by zero-priced TINA money. With the markets finally pricing risk and money, it is a stock pickers environment. There is always value in doing a little (or a lot of) extra work to find incremental information because you need to know what you don’t know. Still, there is a portion of investing – somewhere between 20% and 80%, I’d say – where the value added isn’t the incremental data, it’s a variant perspective on the same data as everyone else.

As always, I appreciate your entrusting me with your capital and the responsibility of being its steward. If you were so kind as to forward this letter to friends or institutions who might be looking for an investment manager with experience and a track record on the smaller end of the market cap spectrum, I would be grateful for the effort. I look forward to continuing this conversation in the future.

Sincerely,

October 2022,

Starting his career in the Supply Chain Management and Investment from an early age, Dimitar Shatkov – graduate of Rutgers Business School and the Naval Academy of Bulgaria, chatted about the recent $8.7tn. ‘D33’ economics plan and how and what developments can be expected in Dubai’s Logistics.

‘The Dubai Economic Agenda is a positive step that will give the expat community possibilities for growth and diversify the UAE economy. Dubai will become the third-best tourist destination in the world as part of this comprehensive plan and of course that’s very beneficial for our Logistics Sector. D33 includes expanding of the logistics and creating one of the five leading logistic hubs in the world.

At the moment, we do not have specific details, but according to general information, the plan will allocate a large part of the budget to the Logistics sector and, of course, the aspiration to the 1st place in the World in Supply Chain Management’

‘With the intends to lower CO2 emissions by electrifying equipment, Dubai also will invest in renewable energy and alternative fuels which will greatly contribute to better logistics there. One of the Ports already switched the Intra Terminal Vehicles used at the terminal where boats berth from diesel to electric and of course it resulting a decrease of the vehicles’ carbon footprint of almost 80%’he said.

‘The hospitality and tourist business is also connected with the Logistics, which makes up a significant portion of the economy, will undoubtedly gain from this move as it will increase both traffic and monetary investments in the sector, resulting in international partnerships with a lot of companies and attract foreign investment for the industry.

Dubai is an economic powerhouse with enormous demand thanks to its position as a wellconnected and strategic commercial center, which is further fueled by tenacity, a sturdy infrastructure, and technological innovation that will be additionally upgraded with D33. The “mix” of this making it the best logistics center.’

You are currently between UAE and Bulgaria, do you find Dubai attractive place to study?
Without any hesitation I can say that the environment here and the opportunities that are
provided can rarely be seen in one place. So yes, Dubai is a great place to study and develop
yourself. When we talk about Logistics, it is one of the biggest hubs in the world, because of
the location, but what Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum is doing and planning to
do, drives the whole chain and allows the best optimization.

What are your favourite things about the sector?
Planning and coordinating are the main factors in Logistics and my favorite things. Let’s put it
another way, “neatness” is my vision for work and I believe that is what primarily led me to this sector.

When you complete your education fully, would you like to be a part of the development of Logistics in Dubai and do you think you can contribute to it?
My main goal is development and constant upgrading, improvement. In a place like this, I can certainly achieve it, given the resources that are provided, and what exactly my contribution will be, let’s say the future will show.

Akmal Mamarahimov is a businessman from Urgench, Khorezm region of Uzbekistan. This year he spent more than $127,000 to overhaul the children’s department of the central hospital.

According to Tashaev – the local mayor, Mamarahimov’s men completely renovated the pediatric ward of the hospital and equipped it with modern furniture, household appliances and medical supplies.

Mamarahimov himself was not present at the commissioning ceremony, as he was involved in the launch of plywood production in Fergana. However, as Tashaev notes, upon his return to Urgench, the businessman promised to allocate funds to also repair the maternity ward and the ambulance station.

In Uzbekistan, it is not uncommon for residents to spend their savings on socially significant facilities. At the end of December last year, with the participation of the heads of villages, two rural schools were opened, built at the expense of local businessmen – $2.23 million and $2.76 million, respectively, were invested in the construction. New schools and an inter-district hospital were also constructed in the Khorezm region in July of this year, and a new highway was erected at the expense of the entrepreneurs called the Pirov brothers.
