In 1895, Hélène Guerber recorded an interesting belief about the Wild Hunt; if one heard the Wild Hunt and called out to it in bad faith, the Hunt would take you with it. But, if one called out to it in good faith, they’d drop a horse leg, which turned to gold when the sun rose. In the folk tale Grimm recorded, the Wild Hunt dropped a horse leg down the carpenter’s chimney, but he must have called out to them mockingly, hence his death.

Members of the public who suspect that they have been approached by unauthorised firms or individuals offering schemes that promise unrealistic returns "We're seeing really dramatic moves, and it's all really tied to Ukraine right now, and in a secondary way, in terms of interest rates," Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Opimas, told Yahoo Finance Live on Thursday. "This war in Ukraine is going to give the Fed the ammunition, the cover that it needs, to not raise interest rates too quickly. And I think Jay Powell is a very tepid sort of inflation fighter and he's not going to do as much as he needs to do to get that under control.
