Amazing conversation with @MegynKellyShow about the stifling of dissent, free speech, and how kids have been harmed during the last 2 years. Thank you for having me! Very grateful.

Nothing says "unhealthy" like a leadership reversal within a day of the high. Last time we saw more new lows than highs within a day of a 5-year high, with at least 30% of stocks below their 200-DMA, was 9/20/18 just before the Q4 swoon. The two before that were 2007 and 2000.

This is how inflation becomes embedded, David, not evenly and all at once, but as a rolling series of “shocks” across different goods and services.

This is a log-scale chart starting around the the low that followed a near-20% drop in late 2018. Annualized S&P gain since end of 2018 now almost 25%. Not outrageous - it's a bull market after all - yet clearly running against the pre-Covid crash rally trend line.

The most important data point in today’s jobs report was not the headline but rather the contraction in the workweek and the repeated decline in real wages. Look out for a sharp weakening in Q3 GDP growth and likely beyond. Treasuries have sniffed this out ahead of everyone else.

For 5 quarters now the state of the US economy by conventional analysis has been indecipherable due to all the government/Fed “emergency” measures. Seems there is no “emergency” any more, but will these measures end as planned? It’s the question of the year w/ huge implications.

U.S. households added $13.5 trillion in wealth last year, the biggest increase in records going back three decades. More than 70% of the increase went to the top 20% of income earners. About a third went to the top 1%. wsj.com/articles/during-covi…

Rolling 60d correlation between 10y Treasury yield & S&P 500 in negative territory & near lowest since mid-2000s; coincides with higher CPI, which has happened in past (although we didn’t have high inflation in mid-90s when correlation was negative)

There are so many interesting stories out there about various shortages and bottlenecks in the face of intense demand. Just a totally fresh and unfamilar environment for so many players.

We’re at 90% probability of a rate hike. If proven to be true, this would mark a first time the market strong arms the Fed to tighten.

Italy has consistently been 2-3 weeks ahead of the US. We're still in a race against the variants.
"Italy saw infections rise by 10% this week compared with the week before ... situation is deteriorating as new, highly contagious variants gain ground."
