The 10Y has been stuck at 4.65% for three weeks, and yesterday's ISM disaster presents a new possible economic outcome that might limit upside in yields. So bonds went yellow on my radar. Dollar can still stay bid though, esp if mkts "de-risk:"

, one more surprising than the other:
What was it like trading the Covid bubble, dad? One time this guy went on TV without knowing what his stock pick did, & when people called him out on it he started posting videos of himself shooting guns from his Lambo with his hot wife inside. The stock dropped 90% (so far)
IMO the death of business travel is an absurd narrative. The point of business travel is not efficiency, productivity or anything like that. It's to get drunk with random people in cool places, and that's gonna be in even higher demand post-COVID.
You know what's funny is the older you get, the longer you're in the market, the more you realize one thing really is true: the bond guys definitely are smarter
NFTs are such a self-own. If we actually had something else to show for blockchain, crypto ppl wouldn't be so eager to try and make them happen. Bitcoin remains the only thing that matters. Sooner ppl drop the NFT junk, sooner we figure out just how impt bitcoin is.

I am implying that current expectations for the suddenness and intensity of economic recovery are underestimated. IMO this is more obviously bearish Treasury bonds than it is bullish stocks, but an argument can certainly be made for both.
According to Bloomberg, if today were the bear market bottom it would be the highest P/E for the SPX of any bear market low since at least 1957. Average bear market low P/E = 12.6x, current P/E = 17.9x.
OK I'll admit it, 8 different megacap companies rallying 5-8% each on rumors one of them is going to have the privilege of paying $50B for an unprofitable social media app with an identical twin feels maybe a tiny bit frothy
As the year comes to a close, let’s take a moment to remember Rich Strike, at 82-1 odds, heading into the final turn of the Kentucky Derby in 17th place and then inexplicably channeling his inner Secretariat.
This is a good profile of
@joerogan
but could be summed up a lot faster if NYT had the capacity to introspect. It's called honesty. He's crushing traditional news because journalists turned into activists a long time ago & ppl finally got sick of it
"Fed is killing the market." Exhausting. Kinda the point. If 2.25% spurs this kind of unwind then by all means get the cleansing underway sooner than later. If you're angry higher rates are spurring volatility I'm not sure you get the rules of the game.
Interrupting usual programming to shout out my brilliant girlfriend who, when I met her four years ago, barely spoke English and is at this moment graduating Ivy League with IB offer in hand at a bulge bracket bank. BOOM. Congrats T!! 🎉🎉🎉
Deeper than just ~~sell-the-news~~
With spot ETFs here, there is no remaining wall to break down to reach the masses. Bitcoin's decade-long "adoption" narrative is over, and without cash flows or portfolio diversification, there's no reason for HODLRs to stick around:…
Regional banks crashing due to liquidity constraints and financials selling off but stocks firm because economic data was *worse* than expected. Market completely lost its mind.
Lol oh *nows* the time to play hardass. Some of us knew this day 1 and chose to warn our viewers instead of creating a platform for hucksters to pump and dump their bags
It’s not a store of value or an inflation hedge, or digital gold, or replacing the dollar, or 99 of the other nonsensical things the most hardened hypesters said.
It’s a highly speculative “asset” class directly correlated to the highest of risk assets.
if you're rooting for a robust lasting rally this is probably not the leadership you're looking for. Tech basically unch on the day. Retail and energy will certainly be the short-term high beta play but really requires the best case scenario to take shape to change narrative
I still haven't seen any of these articles connect the dots between the "fire sale" and the huge Friday ramp. It's all framed as a big margin call+liquidation.. how does that factor into Qs ripping above a technical level they struggled with all week?
slight exasperation by Powell in addressing the notion that rates were responsible for the Tech Bank Collapse, & rightly so. SV speculators, crypto bros & the whole ilk said Fed couldn't/wouldn't hike + stonks only go up! >> narrative blew up, then they blame Fed. Joke.
It's pretty clear to me Elon's primary motive for some time now has been popularity and social acceptance. There are some insecurities that no amount of wealth can fix. I say this as a meganerd who was regularly excluded as a kid (until a lucky growth spurt). GL tn

been talking to 20-50 PMs a week, every week for something like 7 years. I've *never* had this many contacts bullish energy $XLE $XOP. It's like everyone got the same memo ~ 10 days ago
I'm sure it's a coincidence Elon came to his realization about bitcoin's energy consumption the same day its "inflation hedge" narrative completely imploded
Like most of Kevin Costner's filmography, Yellowstone is about 60% awesome 40% cringe. Started off as fiery Cowboy Sopranos meets Succession, then petered off to a Hallmark joke. Landscape porn keeping me around for Season 4.
How is this jobs number so low, I wonder during a 20-minute wait for an Uber that cost three times as much as it did a year ago. People don't want to work and don't need to.
There's no reason to make $GME complicated. It's a bunch of people who want to get rich fast at a time when greed is rampant, speculation is gross and there's a huge amount of excess in the economy.
Americans got richer despite the pandemic, and only want more:
Worst week since 08 but last week felt like the bigger shock. Somehow. Thanks to
@TDANetwork
for their creativity & persistence. It wasn't too bad working from home but I'm beginning to worry my younger more handsome coanchor may steal the spotlight. Be safe everyone.✌️
Met a young guy this weekend who turned a few hundred bucks of $DOGE into a sizeable chunk of cash but says
@binance
won't let him withdraw to a bank and instant cards don't work. I've heard there were UK limitations but is there no bank transfer in US or is he missing something?
bell rang, everyone sold. $TSLA flirting with 800. $NDX really struggling to hold Jan lows here. What happens if we open that door lower? Looking fwd to our Spaces debut w/

It's pretty funny that coiners, the supposed stalwarts of self sufficiency and financial independence, are hugging their pillows right now hoping more government stimulus or "guys with infinite money" are on the way
they've been around for 15 years. There are 600,000 orders a day and 31M people on the app. People literally couldn't go to restaurants last quarter. If they can't make money now why will they ever
Cathie dumping $AAPL to double-down on $COIN & $DKNG is like being down in poker and instead of waiting for the top of your range you start opening 79 suited and K5o for 4-5x

$ABNB is now putting itself at a competitive disadvantage by not disclosing full cost up-front in listings. SEVENTY %% fee cost? Lol, waste of user time
Many ppl refuse to recognize that the speed of the rally is in large part a product of how ridiculously bearish their own predictions were in March. When you set the bar at Zombie Apocalypse, the change in expectations is severe & pricing adjusts accordingly. Narrative matters.
Printing stimmy checks to keep Americans out of homeless shelters is one thing; minting a $3-trillion escape hatch to allow inept politicians to evade their duty is an abuse of the public's trust.

Good article by
@M_C_Klein
recapping Trumponomics but I think if you're going to attribute the economy's success mostly to The Fed you have to at least give a shout to POTUS for haranguing Powell in the public sphere basically hourly until he stopped hiking rates 🤷♂️
