So OpenAI wants a Federal backstop for data center investments so they can continue to spend ridiculous amounts of money which benefits Nvidia while Jensen tries to scare the Trump administration by saying China is tracking to win the AI race.

None of us have enough disdain for these people.

Fuck off.
We’re in the “OpenAI-CFO-thinks-the-government-should-backstop-AI-financing” part of the cycle. 🤡

On the subject of "alternative" valuation measures, note that this "valuation" measure matched current levels at the *beginning of the 2000-2002, and 2007-2009 market collapses, surging to higher, presumably "overvalued" levels at 2002, 2009, 2020 recession lows, and after the 2023 market plunge.

Job cuts hit a fresh high in October as private-sector related cuts surge, highlighting weakening demand for labor and continued labor shedding by firms.

For the millionth time…
The "market" is just total shares outstanding. If you put cash "into" the market, you hand your cash to a seller. In return, they hand their shares of stock to you. Someone has to hold the pieces of paper and digital entries called "cash" until the Fed retires them.

There's no bucket in the middle

We recorded a Hindenburg Omen yesterday. 👇🏼

3.92

Now look at 0.97 where historical data implies a 10% return

Now look at 1.75, the highest level ever followed by 10% - only because that 12-year period ended at the Q1 2020 peak

Now notice that matching the largest outlier in history would still get you to only 5.5%😬

OER (Owners Equivalent of Rent) is something I’ve spent a lot of time on in previous posts. 👇🏼

This has a more than 40% weighting in the CPI calculation, so if this trend continues (as I expect it to), deflation is the risk that almost nobody is talking about.

“Sideways” premieres 21 yrs ago today.

“I still don't know why he cast me,” Paul Giamatti said of director Alexander Payne. “I seriously thought this is some vast practical joke. .. I went out to dinner with him and he was, like, I really want you to do this movie and I wanted to go, ‘But why?’”

Thread 🧵

Not my data, from a friend on X:

After a recent Jan 2025 retroactive reclassification of C&I and Consumer Loans finally started reporting into the FRED statistics.
What's one of the papers/articles you've read on NBFIs? I'm still at a lost of knowing the exact exposure.

Considering that most of the gains in M2 have been the monetary base not money, makes Mark’s chart is even scarier.

With all due respect to Bob, traditional banks are loaning much more money to NDFIs, who are then making all the high risk loans. They just moved the risk, but it’s still systemic.

I don’t understand the trolling here. He made a call that was incorrect. But his track record beats almost everyone (amateurs and pros). 👇🏼

Does one bad call two years ago define you?
