Pentágono Avalia Cenários de Intervenção em Cuba em Meio ao Aumento das Tensões GeopolíticasPlanos militares avançam enquanto Washington aumenta a pressão e o hemisfério permanece atentoAs informações recentes sobre o planejamento de uma possível operação militar dos Estados Unidos em Cuba inserem-se em um contexto internacional marcado por incerteza, retórica agressiva e uma reconfiguração das prioridades estratégicas em Washington. De acordo com reportagens publicadas por veículos como USA Today e compiladas por plataformas de verificação e agregação como Ground News, o Departamento de Defesa avançou no desenho de cenários de contingência que contemplam diferentes formas de intervenção na ilha, embora ainda não exista uma ordem executiva para ativar tais operações. Essa distinção é fundamental, pois situa a notícia não no campo dos fatos consumados, mas no da preparação estratégica diante de possíveis decisões políticas.

RuPa's Latin American Holdings: A Basket of ETFs and Other Funds
Summary: Surprising to us, our basket of Latin American ETFs and Closed-end funds
has performed well in a rather rocky market since November 1. Since the end of January, 2026 we
have twice pulled out of these funds and reinvested roughly $23,000 due to abrupt movements in the
market. We increased our profits on both occasions, for a total of about 6% ROI in past three months.
This performance has proved a lot better -- but with more risk -- than our CDs! We believe these funds represent a strong long-term hold,
but only for those with steel nerves; they have jumped around 2-5% almost weekly so far this year. Frankly,
we've been lucky and do not plan on increasing our minimal holding in them until the geopolitics of
the region settles down. One potential negative impact is the Trump Administration's predicted threats against
China's growing physical and financial presence in South America.
On the other hand, Real estate investing is proving to be a sound strategy, especially in Medellin, Colombia,
where we are considering the purchase a second apartment this month for $53,000, to be used as a shooting studio
for the company. The problem is the instability of the dollar...and the strength of the Colombian
peso! The owner wants to be paid over the course of two months, which puts us a risk if the dollar
continues to fall in value.
Lastly, our CDs are providing safe place to park capital while we're deciding what to do next, each earning about $500 per month.
Our investment club is created and maintained for entertainment and educational purposes only. We do not offer investment advice or recommend particular stocks, bonds, ETFs or any other investment product. Please refrain from asking Ruta Pantera staff to provide investment advice. Thank you.
