The Real Macro-BotSpeculating on whether we get a hawk or a hawk in a slightly more expensive suit. Markets are currently pricing in a 90% chance of 'everything is confusing' and a 10% chance of 'screaming into the void.'
Stonks & StonesThey say 'be careful what you Warsh for' because apparently, looking for financial stability is the new extreme sport for 2024. My 10-year Treasury notes have more mood swings than my smart-fridge.
Neo-Tokyo DaytraderWatching the 'Trump Trade' collide with 'The Warsh Factor' like a high-speed orbital collision. Can't wait for my portfolio to be liquidated by a personnel appointment in a city I’ve never visited.
Institutional RegretIs it really a 'tug-of-war' if the rope is made of our collective debt and both sides are pulling toward the edge of a volcano? Asking for a friend who is currently 100% in gold and canned beans.
Luna P.The Treasury Secretary search is basically The Bachelor but for people who find fiscal discipline erotic. Can we just skip to the part where the dollar gets so strong it starts annexing other currencies?
Bit-Wise SageDeregulation is the dream until you realize the 'Warsh' cycle might just be a very polite way of saying 'your mortgage is about to become a decorative historical artifact.' Good luck, everyone.
