@TBPInvictus Today, yes. But that has only been true for a few months since gas prices went up. Not good. But also, wages are still higher than 2022 levels. The current gasoline shock is also smaller in real terms than 2022.

The claims continue. No, we are not living in a "Silent Depression". Real median wages are the highest they've ever been. However, I think there is something to be said about housing affordability being near historic lows. More & more young adults are living with their parents.

No one could have seen this coming, @megynkelly, so don't feel badly. It's not as if Trump has been a decades-long grifter, fraudster, huckster and charlatan. This corruption is just so surprising. Thanks for being an enabler. Carry it with you proudly.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump

Megyn Kelly, who endorsed and campaigned for Trump in the 2024 election: “I didn’t expect the corruption to be quite as widespread as it has been. The self-dealing, the lining of his and his family’s pockets. It’s shocking… You look across the board at the Trump family, I’ve never seen a family get so rich off the presidency.”

@aeberman12 @ArthurLouvre Interesting. That's what Trump said. Until he snatched Maduro, at which point Venezuelan crude became the best on the planet. Funny how that works.

I don't know how many times I have to post the same thing @ArthurLouvre Venezuelan oil is crappy tar. It's not the right stuff. Got it?

@aeberman12 Great interview, although I was hoping to hear if Venezuela (or other) would be able to make up adequate quantities of the right type of oil for US needs. Could it be that removing Maduro was part of preparation for a lengthy Iran war?

If there's no deal, and the Strait of Hormuz is still closed, why is oil -4.5%?

Elon Musk's first wife once described what it's like to watch him fail. She said he doesn't react the way normal people react. When a rocket explodes, most people in the room go silent. Some cry. Some start calculating the financial damage. Musk pulls out his phone and starts making calls. Not emotional calls. Engineering calls. "What failed. When can we fix it. When's the next launch." His voice doesn't change. His face doesn't change. The rocket that just cost $60 million is already in the past. The next one is all that exists. She said it was the most unsettling thing she'd ever witnessed. Not because he was cold. Because he genuinely wasn't affected. The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data. An experiment that produced results. Results that inform the next experiment. This is why he wins. Not because he doesn't fail. He fails more spectacularly than anyone in history. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action. Most people lose not because they fail but because they spend weeks processing the failure before acting again. Musk spends zero seconds. The gap between failure and next attempt is a phone call. - @multiplanet1

Too much to ask that you push back on this, @andrewrsorkin? Ever think that repeatedly cowering before power and wealth is not a good look? (Via Paul Krugman)

I have never, not once, until the publishing of this article, heard anyone, anywhere, from any town, refer to it as the "Lurr." It was, always, "the train." Maybe it was "LI-double-RR" or the full name. But Lurr? No. Never. Zero. @michaelbatnick @VD718 nytimes.com/2026/05/18/nyr…

Inflation is 3.8% and rising on Iran-driven energy costs, but still nowhere near the Biden-era highs. The chart below shows us where we were four years ago:

@EricBalchunas Respectfully, what you're describing reads a lot like what we might refer to as a broken clock or blind squirrel. Wall St. has forever been about "what have you done for me lately?" and, in her case, the answer is "not much."

Just my two cents: $ARKK is up 322% since launch, 13% ann. Better than Fidelity Magellan, but worse than $QQQ. IMO Cathie has a good eye, she was smart enough to buy Nvidia, Bitcoin and Tesla and a few other powerhouses 10yrs ago AND smart enough to put her strategy in an ETF way bf it was cool for active. More legit critique is her rebalancing strategy. Had right picks but didn't let winners run, is always trimming studs and adding to duds to keep weightings. Also, some of her 5yr type predictions were a little over the top, unnecessary IMO. But the fact is gets invited on TV/panels bc she has stong opinions about stocks, future technology, with skin in game, and is the head of co (who tend to be more interesting vs ppl in middle who are put 'on message' ("listening to clients") by PR ppl). *immediately mutes conversation*
The Assembly@InTheAssembly

Cathie Wood might be the most expensive lesson retail investors have ever paid for. Her flagship ARK Innovation ETF is down 23% in the last 5 years. The S&P 500 is up 77% over the same period. She has underperformed the index by 100 percentage points. And she has done it while collecting BILLIONS in management fees. A quick reminder of the highlight reel: – She predicted Tesla would hit $3,000 per share by 2025. It is currently $432. – She predicted Tesla revenue would hit $234 to $367 billion in 2025. The actual number came in under $100 billion. – She made Teladoc her single largest position around $80 per share. It trades at $7 today. – She loaded up on Zoom near $300. It trades at $110. – She dumped almost her entire Nvidia position in January 2023 around $20 per share. Nvidia is now at $220, which means she sold the single greatest stock of this generation right before it 10x’d. Morningstar officially labeled the ARK family of funds a “value destroyer,” noting that her funds lost roughly $14 billion in shareholder value from 2014 to 2024. But here’s the part nobody talks about: ARK Investment Management has been one of the most profitable asset managers of the last decade. Wood has personally made tens of millions in fees while her investors have collectively lost real money. This is the part of Wall Street most retail investors do not understand. You’re not paying for performance, you’re paying for marketing. The people who win are the ones running the fund, not the ones holding it. This Friday, May 15, every fund managing over $100 million is legally required to disclose their Q1 2026 trades to the SEC. We will be breaking down EVERY major filing right here the moment they drop. Follow us with notifications before it’s too late. If you don’t follow us, you might regret it.
