Both Statements Can Be True
On the one hand, the eighteen month "lag effect" from Powell's first rate hike (in March 2022) can finally kick in, and probably is as we speak according to various data, leading to tighter financial conditions for tapped out consumers and a long-in-the-tooth jobs market starting to crack. On the other hand, the near-term pain trade in both...

The Fed Created the Largest Pot of Boiling Water in History
Ah, what could have been, Jay Powell. You could have ripped the bandaid off of this whole mess back in 2021, even 2022, by ramping up QT and dumping The Fed's toxic (about $2.6 trillion worth) mortgage-backed securities onto the market, coupled with inter-meeting surprise rate hikes, and tougher talk about inflation than the lawyer (and I am a...

Americans Will Never Give Up Their Guns
But they appear to have stopped buying news ones, for the time being. You may or may not recall the early-pandemic phenomenon where many took their "stimmy checks" to the gun shop, gun store, or sporting goods store (or your vendor of choice) to purchase the hot weapon(s) they have always desired.

Something's Gotta Give
Over the last two years Okta, which reports this evening and is shown on the monthly chart, below, has beaten both top and bottom line estimates 100% (!) of the time. Although I have always thought that earnings are the epitome of a roulette wheel gamble, insofar as the immediate reaction, I suspect something has got to give, as LeAnn Rimes...

Dog Day Rally
Some weak labor market data this morning , via The Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report, from the Labor Department, was enough to send rates down and stocks up.
