My Senator threatens a government shutdown unless DHS(ICE) is defunded. I like his thinking BUT id prefer he doesn't make idle political threats and then completely cave.

Talk is cheap. ACT Chuck or STFU. Have some backbone. Your constituents agree with you.

A hedge needs to be unwound when it pays off and a diversifier need to be rebalanced in order to maintain balance

The question of who the Fed chair will be is almost entirely irrelevant. What matters is whether the courts will prevent Cook from being fired and whether Powell will stay on as governor.

I need to reset my moral and ethical compass perhaps. Could someone explain on Moral, Ethical or even religious grounds, if one prefers, the justification for Trump coin being Okay? I see it as a complete and total failure in judgement by our duly elected president who I support as my President.

No lift on bonds. Don't expect equities or crypto to hold lows.

Economists Are in the Wilderness. Can They Find a Way Back to Influence? Economists have long helped to shape policy on issues like taxes and health care. But flawed forecasts and arcane language have cost them credibility.

"Free trade is perhaps the closest thing to a universally held value among economists."

The problem is not that "free trade" is in fact a bad thing. It is that most economists don't seem to have a sense of what "free trade" actually looks like.
