Costco spots a recession before economists do. When members shift from beef to chicken, then to canned tuna, something in the economy is bending. You don't need a model. You need a checkout counter and millions of members with long memories.



On the April 30, 2026 episode of “Shooting the Bull” with @drowsyinvestor and @investing_bear I said that I’m feeling more uncertainty than at any time since the GFC. More than one person has asked me to list the reasons why. Here are some of them… (1) Ai is, by far, creating the most uncertainty for me. I don’t know what impact it will have on business obsolescence, new business formation, wages, jobs, and employment levels, productivity, GDP growth, truth, and the safety of humanity, etc. Also, the speed of technological advancement inside the Ai ecosystem is hard for me to quantify and value. I also don’t know “what inning we are in” for the Ai buildout or broader reindustrialization. At this point, I’m far more optimistic than pessimistic, and think we are early innings, but my mind could possibly change quickly. As @greg_ip wrote on May 7 in the WSJ, “AI’s pervasive presence makes it almost impossible to discern what is actually going on.” (2) The conflict in Iran, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, high oil prices, and the effect high oil prices for longer could have on inflation and the potential for stagflation or even a recession. (3) A new Fed Chairman that has said he wants “regime change” at the Fed. (4) Cold “tech” war with China. (5) New massive companies about to IPO and what that does to Mag7 weightings in the S&P 500, if anything. This is not a complete list, but I think long enough to explain my feeling of uncertainty.

In #China, there are stair/step races through terraced rice field landscapes, particularly in #Yunnan and around the #Yuanyang or #Longji rice terraces.

Damn true

This episode with Paul Tudor Jones was full of stories, ideas, and quotes on life, investing, markets, and kindness. Here are the ones we liked most: 1/ You retire, you die. 2/ The traits of a great trader: Type A personality, incredibly curious and inquisitive, loves competition, and loves games. 3/ One simple act of kindness can have waves of betterment. 4/ The components of a good life: God, family, friends, fun, and service. 5/ Execute at the maximum apogee of fear as well as greed. 6/ My significance, first and foremost, is going to be my family. 7/ You're only worth what you can write a check for tomorrow. 8/ You're gonna make your money by riding a trend for the very longest time. 9/ What have you done that has allowed other people to better their station in life? That's the most significant thing. 10/ Information overload distracts from exquisite execution. 11/ Find peak spring and peak fall. You can feel the energy. You feel God in those moments. 12/ Anyone that's really succeeded in investing or trading is first and foremost a great risk manager. 13/ Everything is about the reps. Pretty soon you take "I should" and it becomes "I am." 14/ You have these incredible opportunities at times if you just sit and wait. 15/ Have God in your life. You've got to have some code by which you live. 16/ The idea of owning something for the long run is laughable when you see how much money you can make by trading in the short run. 17/ "I'd like to make an absolute pot of money so I can give it away. I actually feel like this is the pursuit of nobility." 18/ I get joy out of thinking about my funeral, because I'm so excited about the songs I've chosen. 19/ The simplest, most important thing we can do is demand that all AI is watermarked. 20/ The professional aspects are great tools that allow you to do more meaningful things in the things that count. 21/ Communicate in the quickest and most concise fashion you can, where you get your entire point across in the shortest amount of time. 22/ Humbly devote yourself to finding the kindness and goodness within yourself, and transmit that to somebody else. 23/ You don't have to worry about yourself. You have to worry about how you're going to brighten someone else's day.
