gold and bonds (20+ years treasure bond) have been sold off too. something doesn't add up.

inflation rate at the consumer level has moved up years ahead of the core CPI, but central bank ignored it; they waited until the last minute to react to the problem.

oil has gone down quite bit. it looks like it's going down to $60 level. a lot of oil companies were sold off last Friday. hopefully, that would ease some pressure on the PPI number. France is going to build 6 more nuclear power plants. Germany is holding off on shutting their nuclear power plants.

I think the FED would need to have a seat on the board of those big companies and banks (they'd act like a fly on the wall type of role). economy is a complex machine that has time-dependent variables (demands, supplies, consumptions, employment, capex, productivity, imports/exports, farming...

members of the Chicago Cook County board. Officials | Cook County (cookcountyil.gov) yes, these board members thought Martians would come in and cough up money to pay for the program. $500/month for 5000 people = $30M/year fundamentally, would the UBI program fix the problem or perpetuate the...

"Mexico has drawn investment from 1,289 Chinese companies as of 2022. China has become Mexico's second-largest import partner after the U.S., according to the Secretariat of the Economy." Chinese factories flock to Mexico, crossing U.S. border to avoid tariffs - Nikkei Asia

I think DJI index might bounce back up 35K level in a year, then it'd cascade down to 26K level (my prediction for the next 2 years).

the magic of the 8% stop loss: then he'd get back break-even point with 8% gain. 1) if one lets loss to drop further down like 10%, then it means he'd need to make 12% in order to break even. 2) if one lets loss to drop down to -17%, then it means he'd need to make 21% to get back to the break...

historically, bank stocks performed well in the high inflation and rising interest rate environment (versus SPX).

I think TT's brain is wired for engineering math. people like Ed Thorp would be better fit for working on the market problems (probability). so was Ferma right? (9^3 + 10^3) = 12^3 = 1729 :)

I'd buy 5-yr bond, and hold for 6-10 months

Taiwan doesn't have the edge to sustain a fight with China. It's going to lose eventually. I think Taiwan is going to have a referendum whether to fight with China or not. people would vote for not to fight and join China (I hate to say this, at least, Taiwan caves to a winner).

nothing is wrong with buy low sell high!

check the number! i'd say it's a classic case of short squeeze! the guy is also chairman of Gamestop :)

the implosion of some crypto institutions is just like some of the ponzi-scheme storylines on the American Greed show. the scheme and idea are still the same, just copied and executed with crypto crap. perhaps, some of these "geniuses" saw the scheme on the show, and they though they'd just...

China will take care the thorn on its side before carrying out its world domination agenda. Anything could happen while your main forces are fighting or get bogged down in the distant land. Taiwan and other internal forces can sneak back in and attack China (so the immediate threat to China's...

in the last 11 years, the world military expenditures have averaged between $1.81 trillion and $2.76 trillion per year, so using money to buy weapons for security reason is normal thing at the nation level or at the personal level. one wants to buy protection for his family, and his people (one...
