@DariusDale42 @LukeGromen Is deficit reduction the stated goal for DOGE? I don’t even think a balanced budget is a goal for the admin. Reducing the increase and efficiency are probably the real goals.

What Must Be Done To Prevent DOGE From Failing? I recently sat down with FFTT Founder and President @LukeGromen to discuss how U.S. marketable treasury market dynamics have shifted over recent years, the likelihood of a meaningful reduction in the federal budget deficit in this Fourth Turning, and more. If you missed the interview, here are the two most important takeaways from the conversation that have significant implications for your portfolio: 42macro.com/what-must-be-d…

@DariusDale42 Thanks for sharing.

Man, this hits home. My parents were addicted to crack my entire childhood and my older brother was so far into the dope game that he would sell them crack just so he could take their money to pay our rent. The alternative was we’d go back to being homeless. Drugs ruin families and communities. Prayer builds them back up. My horribly abusive father died an addict, but I’m proud to say my mother has been clean for many years. Her solution? We prayed and prayed and prayed some more. God has a plan for you too. ❤️ P.S. This is a good read that I’ll expand into an autobiography someday after I finish earning it: bit.ly/45IZY4l. Consider this the prequel to my version of “Hillbilly Elegy”. If @JDVance can become Vice President, I’m certain I’ll be @POTUS someday. 🚀

@tj_obrien21 Whoa! Congrats TJ! Huge.

@DariusDale42 Not wrong!

@Paddy_Barrett And it goes down naturally as you get older, even with the same fitness.

@JasonCookeCFP There is a genetic component but it can also be trained. Usually over many years.

V02 max does not lie. You can tell your doctor you have been ‘active’, but your V02 max will tell the truth. A truth you cannot hide from. The higher your V02 max, the greater the likelihood you will live a longer life.

@Budgetdog_ They fund it when they need to. Also, after GFC, money market funds are not FDIC anymore.

Fact: The FDIC has $130B of insurance money to insure $20T of our dollars. Opinion: Our system is run on TRUST. In order for the system to stay in tact, we need trust to remain. The American people have lost trust in the system. The system is breaking. Be prepared.

@MarketPalmer_ What state do you live in now and what state do you plan to retire in?

For those willing to share, do you max your 401k? I'll start – I do not.

@DavidG_CSLP How tf does someone get $252,000 in student loan debt for a career in law enforcement? Those can't all be federal loans

Just came across a Dave Ramsey clip. Law Enforcement Officer has $252,000 in student loan debt with $70,000 income. Dave's advice. 1. You're a moron 2. Sell your house 3. Side hustle your way out of this. Now hear out my advice. Law Enforcement Officer is part of PSLF. At $70,000 with a pension, we are talking about an Adjust Gross Income of roughly $55,000. From here he can subtract off the 2.25 times the federal poverty level for his household size (1). $55,000 - $32,805 = $17,195 Under the SAVE plan, he will pay 10% of this each year. $17,195 * .1 = $1719.50 That's $143 per month. If he has absolutely no months of credit already (which is unlikely)... He would pay less than $20,000 TOTAL over the 120 months he needs to pay. This guy might even qualify for forgiveness right away if he has been working for many years. Just some food for thought before you sell your house, your car, and work 80 hours per week.

@RunRevel I think I know. 😁

@rlh0772 @KeithMcCullough @boomerisqu91577 @DharmeshVyas @Hedgeye Subs getting smoked this week….stocks and bonds….so far.

@boomerisqu91577 @DharmeshVyas @Hedgeye @KeithMcCullough Too be clear Hedgeye has not been signaling to short tech all year. That’s not the way Hedgeye works. You short and cover. They certainly shorted tech more last year but trends change and so does positioning. Don’t focus just on one sector. That’s a key thing to learn.

@KeithMcCullough How are even big banks holding onto customer savings with rates this high in brokerage MM funds?

@SteveOnSpeed What’s your sample size?

I've never heard of anyone on their deathbed wishing that they spent more time in an office.

I will not stop.

@KeithMcCullough “.. SVB’s management repeatedly lobbied to increase the cap for lax regulatory scrutiny and conveniently remained 20-30 billion below the $250 billion threshold”

@KeithMcCullough What happened to “markets crash from oversold levels”? Seems like play with fire into multiple Quad 4s.

The bear is either buying, selling, or sleeping. Don't overthink it.

W/OUT tax simplification, defunding IRS is a bad idea. Even w/ its additional funding, IRS will (continue to) be underfunded and understaffed. Further funding reductions will only exacerbate the back logs, long wait times, and other challenges taxpayers currently experience😕
