@RudyHavenstein All they have to do is fire up the PDCF and hand out free options to the primary dealers. The problem solves itself.

If the Fed was buying futures in 1987 - as Michael Howell claims - imagine what they're doing nowadays.

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement: * $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip. * $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold. More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close. Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

@HalbrookDaniel @zerohedge What a waste. It should be 190% tax. Imagine the marketing dollars they’d have with a 190% tax!

@zerohedge They are trying to encourage people to go there to stay by making it more expensive to go there and stay

Deep irony in a Governor who turned a $100B surplus into a $35B deficit launching a personal finance class.

And your government assures you that the deterioration of your spending power ( measured by the CPI) is 2.9% ?
Andrew Lokenauth | TheFinanceNewsletter.com@FluentInFinance
Median family income in the US increased from $10,000 in 1971 to $106,000 today, a 10x increase. However, the median cost of homes increased from $25,000 to $445,000, a 17x increase. And the median cost of cars increased from $3,600 to $50,000, a 14x increase. The median cost of college increased from $2,900 a year to $45,000, a 16x increase. And the average cost of healthcare per person increased from $350 to $14,600, a 42x increase. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

@lalovestrump I cannot wait to see these grocery stores in action. 😂

Democratic Socialists of America’s LA chapter wants to straight-up seize private property through a “creative use of eminent domain,” take control of your neighborhood grocery store, and replace cops with unarmed social workers while shutting down jails nypost.com/2026/02/09/us-…

@Dannyjokes This idea intrigues me. Do you have a newsletter or sub stack I can subscribe to?

Hear me out. We give every homeless $60000 per year. In exchange for the money they can provide services or labor. And then they can take that money and cover their expenses like housing, food etc. Just spitballing
Charlie Smirkley@charliesmirkley
NYC spends more per homeless person than the median NYC household earns. $81,705 per person in FY2025. And $81,705 is a floor. It excludes supportive housing (~$500M/yr), mental health response teams, and NYPD encampment costs. The city projects ~$97K per person in FY2026.

@FirstClassDuck @HedgeDirty In California if you retire on $100k your first year…each subsequent year you get an increase of the lower of A inflation; B 2.00% of first years pension. This means there is NO compounding effect. Several years of higher inflation will quickly reduce your purchasing power.
English
@ProfessorSenko @HedgeDirty Do you mind explaining how?
I’m admittedly in envy of my friends and family with pensions…
English
The outsourcing of city services to contractors amd NGOs is 80% downstream of public sector unionization. No service a city in-sources with on-the-books public employees can ever be right-sized or modified, and creates insane pension liabilities
English
@FirstClassDuck @HedgeDirty People currently receiving pensions were under a different system: they contributed less each month and they retired earlier.
English
@FirstClassDuck @HedgeDirty I have a 30yo friend.For her she would be MUCH better off with a 401k, as 30y+ of market returns would probably be better than the pension payment. And when you and your spouse die the pension stops. As far as I know there is no inheritance function beyond the spouse.
English
@FirstClassDuck @HedgeDirty 10.2% of my gross pay goes to my pension. The school also contributes 10.2%. So I compare my pension payment with what I would have if I instead contributed 20.4% of my salary into a 401k style plan. I started teaching around 50yo, so for me it’s close to break even.

@honzacern1 This is the LSE issuing bonds. They’re rated investment grade and rolling over expiring debt that is coming due. This isn’t the LSE selling someone else bonds that they own. (According to how I read the story).

The London Stock Exchange Group is reportedly preparing to dump up to $3B in high-grade U.S. corporate bonds next week.
Not junk.
Not distressed debt.
High-grade.
When institutions start selling the safest paper first, it usually means liquidity matters more than yield.
Something is moving in the credit market.
And it rarely ends quietly.
Be sure you sold all your #silver.
You'll definitely need more paper. 😄😄

A California resident spots a $50K Mustang used for parking enforcement.
He says, “So this is why our city's budget is messed up… a $50,000 vehicle for parking enforcement.”
Is this justified?

@603greg @nettermike What do you mean? Food just comes from the back of the grocery store. I've seen it. When they're running out of something, the workers just go in the back to get more and restock the shelf. (/sarc, just in case you can't tell)

Seattle’s socialist Mayor Katie Wilson has officially declared war on grocery chains.
She claims she will unilaterally BAN grocery stores from closing down in her city, arguing that food access is a human right that overrides business decisions.
She said : "We cannot allow big grocery chains to close stores at will!"
The Plan: If a private business tries to leave due to theft, taxes, or safety concerns... the government will step in. Her allies in the state legislature have even introduced a bill (HB-2313) allowing the city to use Eminent Domain to SEIZE grocery store properties and turn them into government-run shops.
Mayor Katie Wilson calls it "protecting the community."
Critics call it "holding businesses hostage."
Thoughts?

@603greg @nettermike Yes, most stuff in grocery stores is provided by vendors. Vendors are not going to deliver food for free
