Earnestly, having 9 years of experience being the parent of young children and all the moody, impulsive phases they’ve gone through has made me much better-prepared for Trump 2.0 than I felt in 2017.

Forget the value investing stuff (which maybe doesn’t work like it used to anyway). Emphasizing integrity, trustworthiness, the long-term, optimism, simplicity — these are all values I hope endure in America for centuries, and he made them much more accessible and intertwined with success.

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

This is a difficult time in financial markets but the real victims are the countless numbers of faceless small and mid-sized businesses who import from China and are getting vaporized overnight, and the White House would never take their calls.

One of the biggest market stories right now has to be the admin's failure to really get meaningfully lower rates. 10-year still just a bit below 4%, even with a market crash

The amount of copium I see on the Hellsite about what’s happening right now would make the British East India Company blush. Those folks are manufacturing just industrial quantities of self-deception.

Are we headed for a recession? I’ve been DMed this question several times in the recent day(s).
My take? Probably not.
The textbook definition of a recession trigger is 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. There are outlier estimates for a negative 1Q2025, most notably the Atlanta Fed.

President Trump says the economy is in a "period of transition" and can't predict if the U.S. will fall into a recession.

In the early-mid 2000’s there were no tech jobs, most of the jobs were in the Boomer/GWB scam economy (subprime/housing/etc), the food was bad, then the economy crashed and the only jobs were for Ivy grads and comp sci majors in 6 cities. And the consumer tech frontier was gchat.

No, Wall Street doesn’t hate good economic news. It fears the strong jobs report overstates current momentum and will prompt bond yields and Fed to get tighter than the economy ultimately can handle.

Interrupting my social break to contribute some thoughts & context on someone I’ve known for more than 35 years - Scott Bessent.
I probably knew Scott best when he was in London working for George Soros. Prior to that I’d first been familiar with Scott when he started out working for Jim Chanos.

I was skeptical of the “X is slowly cooking your brain” discourse because I don’t think my ideological worldview has shifted much, but having now experienced both Bluesky and X I think the big difference is I got used to fighting/provocation as the standard “tone” of posting without realizing it.

It’s kind of crazy that the narrative on the other site is “lulz liberals running to @bsky.app for a safe space” and not, like, there’s too many bots, too much random pr0n, and we can’t have conversations with the folks we got to know fifteen years ago — so people decided to fix that.
