Another sleigh ride today for stocks with plenty of tumult for Tesla as Zero Hedge noted: Shit’s getting real in equity-land as this morning’s selling pressure has turned into a blood-soaked sea of red with TSLA leading the plunge, down 11% [and] The S&P has erased all of the week’s gains… … and …
This was the year where it seemed everything imploded. For the economy, it started with two quarters of receding GDP that everyone refused to call a recession. Whether you stand with the crowd on that or not, it was certainly not a good change and was certainly a collapse of the economy toward a smaller […]
We now have solid confirmation that the bear market did not go away and that the rally that began in October was just another typical bear-market rally. Look at the three graphs below to see how perfectly it fits the pattern of all the other bear-market rallies this year, which means we are heading down […]
Having written that Powell’s Peril Lies in the Lanquishing Labor Market and that we are Fed up and Under-Fed All at the Same Time because Everyone Sings the “Strong Labor Market†Tune in Unison … and They’re All DEAD Wrong, I finally get some VINDICATION! Major vindication!
The languishing labor market has been the Fed’s path to peril, as I wrote yesterday in assessing how the Fed’s latest moves were perfectly predictable. I tried over the past year to lay out each step the Fed and the stock market would take together, and they followed those stepping stones like the Yellow Brick […]
Stocks soared at the tiny dip in inflation as if they had just been given aviation fuel. And then they didn’t. The climb quickly stalled and sailed back toward the ground with stocks ending modestly up. Look into today’s CPI numbers and even think about the headline for more than a flash, and it’s obvious […]

It’s important to say when you were wrong, especially if you are prone to point out when you were right. Otherwise, you are just boasting in vain conceit. If you point it out both ways, you are just being factual.
On October 28, I wrote that “GDP Stands for One “GROSS Domestic Pig During Election Season.” I claimed the report for GDP was an outright lie. There is no other way to see it. Since then, I have hoped to see others call the Bureau of Economic Analysis out for its lie, but they have […]
We’re on the brink of a dramatic change where we’re about to — and I’ll say this boldly — we’re about to abandon the traditional system of money, and accounting, and introduce a new one…. The new accounting is what we call “blockchain.” It means digital. It means having an almost perfect record of every […]
After weeks of fighting in the Western lands above the city of Kherson, which was Putin’s first and biggest prize at the start of his invasion of Ukraine, the Russian forces are continually beaten back toward the city that was home to 284,000 people. Soon Putin’s loss of the city and the whole region around […]
