It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

The results are in and folks lean bullish for the 9th week in a row. This matches the 9 week stretch in the fall of 2021. I believe the record is 11 straight UPs in spring 2021.

The American oligarchy is back, and it’s out of control
It’s the third time in the nation’s history that a small group of hyper-wealthy people have gained political power over the rest of us. Here’s what we must do.

Less than 50% of $SPX members remain above their 50-day moving average heading into the weekend. Last time we dipped below 50% was at the Halloween low... but much deeper pullbacks tend to start this way too!

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
