in the land of hypocrites, spectacle rules the roost.

When he closes the Strait and says big things like, destroy xyz, Vol gets bid and Puts get brought by people who fear about -ve consequences. Then he comes and gives the mkt something positive. This leads to the market moving up on the bones of put buyers. Repeat. Put buyers gets squeezed and mkt remains stable/move up even though there are less real buyers. @jam_croissant Is that correct?





Meanwhile, this is your husband.







The "Made in China" era for smartphones isn't just ending; it has officially collapsed. New data from SemiAnalysis reveals a tectonic shift in the global supply chain: U.S. smartphone imports from China have plummeted from a dominant 90% in 2022 to just 25% today. The Foxconn-led assembly network, which served as the undisputed backbone of Apple’s hardware empire for decades, is being systematically dismantled in favor of "China Plus One" hubs. India and Southeast Asia have surged to fill the vacuum, now accounting for 75% of all U.S. smartphone imports. This isn't a temporary dip; it is a full-scale execution of a "forced derisking" strategy that is reshaping the consumer electronics landscape in real-time. But the disruption doesn't stop at mobile. The transition in the PC sector has been even more extreme, with almost all final assembly for the U.S. market successfully migrated outside of Chinese borders. We are witnessing the fastest decoupling of a tech ecosystem in history. For global players, the message is clear: the centrality of the China assembly network is no longer a given—it’s a liability. #SupplyChain #Apple #TechNews2026 #MadeInIndia #Decoupling #ChinaPlusOne #SmartphoneMarket #GlobalTrade #SemiAnalysis #TechGeopolitics
