FUKUYAMA: “.. I would liken Donald Trump to a ten-year-old boy who has discovered a flame thrower in his parents’ backyard, and has come to realize that he can burn up anything he wants with it. He’s now actively looking for other things he can set on fire.”

I’ll help out here. We are at risk of repeating historic policy error. Different times, different cases and a potentially damaging outcomes.

What my colleagues at BofA & I are saying is that this is not about short term trading.

Rather it’s about long term consequences of decisions made today.

"GenX has rebuilt twice." Fucking right we have. This time a whole different animal.
Yep, agree They've yet to live thru true wipe-outs like the DotCom bust & GFC. GenX'rs have & rebuilt twice.

Their only experience is COVID, ZIRP & massive fiscal stimulus.

So, it's a doozy of a statement to me...

...the tide will go out as Buffet's warned & we'll see some doozies exposed.
