Quote for the Day:

President Donald Trump has reached the “peak of not giving a fuck,” one White House official told The Washington Post for a lengthy report on what went on behind the scenes leading up to the president’s massive tariff announcement this week.

-- Zachary Lehman, for Mediaite

1. Another great quote

Today, Bill Ackman resorted to defending the tariffs by posting:

“Sometimes the best strategy in a negotiation is convincing the other side you are crazy.”

2. The Dow closed Friday at 38,315. The DJIA graph in the OP usually doesn't update until about 6 hours after the close

When it does, the big red candle will extend all the way down to 38,315, which is about the same level as the lowest point on the whole graph, roughly meaning a whole year's gain has been wiped out.

I noticed the S&P 500 closed Friday 12.3% below it's election day level. So on average, for every $8 stockholders had when they went to the polls on Nov. 5, they now have $7.

3. I hope that as a new week begins that it will stabilize somewhat

4. Ugh, 07:30 ET and it's red as far as the eyes can see...

I’m still anticipating the bellows if one index (probably the stilted Dow) should come up for air. You know they will be trying like hell to make that happen. So, the Fox can scream from the top of the chicken coop that it’s all fine.

5. Asia and Europe not looking good

I've noticed some interesting merchandise offered over on bluesky. It seems the old FRSP equipment is becoming a chic fashion statement.

PPT at work?
