“The United States can pay any debt because we can always print money to do that.” ⁃ Alan Greenspan

@PWN360 @Barchart We have been debt free since 2016. No effect on us.

@Barchart UK yield is now five percent. Means loans are costly. Economy will feel pressure. People may face more money problems if this continues.

BREAKING 🚨: United Kingdom UK's 10-Year Yield jumps to 5% for the first time since the Global Financial Crisis 👻😱🫂

@hegdedarsh @KobeissiLetter What if Iran keeps launching drone into the straights?

Trump’s message frames the wind-down not as a ceasefire, but as a completion of a mission. He listed five specific achievements he believes have been met: Degraded Capabilities: The complete degradation of Iranian missile launchers and infrastructure. Industrial Collapse: The destruction of Iran's defense industrial base. Naval/Air Dominance: The elimination of the Iranian Navy and Air Force. Nuclear Deterrence: Ensuring Iran never achieves nuclear capability. Ally Protection: Securing regional partners like Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

BREAKING: President Trump says the U.S. is considering “winding down” its military efforts against Iran.

@jeffthedunker @KobeissiLetter What if Iran doesn't wind down but keep launching drone?

@KobeissiLetter he already won the war, no need to do anything further

@dgsommersmkts We don't have unlimited ammunition. We don't even have a supply chain that keep up with current level of missile expenditure.

And we have a currency that will turn into toilet paper soon if we keep spending like this...

@numbness33 @FirstSquawk I am using that phrase on my bills this month.

@FirstSquawk Why is everyone saying force mejure lately

IRAQ ANNOUNCES A FORCE MAJEURE ON ALL OILFIELDS OPERATED BY FOREIGN OIL COMPANIES, ACCORDING TO OIL MINISTRY SOURCES.

@ACXtrades @Gemini The time to raid it is at ATH, don't wait for the crash to lose half and then raid it.

@Gemini people raiding their retirement funds at record levels while the market is near ATH something doesn't add up

JUST IN: 401(k) hardship withdrawals hit a record 6%, the highest on record

@ScienceBlog3 @yieldsearcher @grok OK, keep thinking equities can stay at stratospheric levels with the bond market collapsing.

@tex_devil_dog @yieldsearcher The market would adjust, but just to show you I am not making this up let me ask grok. @Grok, is it true that there can be no risk asset market without a bond market?

A polite reminder: there can be no risk asset market without a bond market. That is like expecting a fire in the room when it is running out of oxygen. We are fast approaching “we must save the bond market” territory.

@TRUrateupdate How about refinancing today?

Waiting for rates to drop? Don't. You can always refinance later. It's cyclical. "Marry the house, date the rate" is panning out for those who bought at 8% and can now refinance. #MortgageTips #Refinance

@texasrunnerDFW How about now?

“You can always refinance later” Or not. Nearly HALF of mortgage refinance applicants were rejected in October!!!

@RealPNavarro The two-year yield is above the effective funds rates, it is signaling, raise rates.

By holding rates steady, Jerome Powell once again lets his anti-Trump animus cloud his judgment. The pain won’t stay on Wall Street—it hits Main Street and working families.

@ScienceBlog3 @yieldsearcher The saying is, "The bond market gets paid first, the equity market get what is left over". Consider, if the bond yields go to 10% or even 15% to get money, why would anyone put money into stocks?

No, it is not true that there can be no risk asset market (e.g., equities or stocks) without a bond market. While bond markets (especially government bonds) play a crucial role in modern financial systems—providing a benchmark "risk-free" rate, enabling risk pricing, and offering diversification—risk asset markets can and have existed independently or with minimal bond market development.

@AnnaBower She could have stop at "Your honor, I am not aware", meaning not aware of anything.

An absolutely excruciating moment at the Georgia Supreme Court this week. Justice Peterson pressed state attorney Deborah Leslie over her citations to cases that apparently don’t exist.

The federal debt from 09/30/25 to 03/19/26 increased $1,364.71 Billion, over 170 days. That is $8.03 Billion each day and it is an annualized rate of $2.93 Trillion a year, or about 9.38% of GDP.

@dgsommersmkts @zerohedge @LorenBoston

@zerohedge @LorenBoston Anyone else confused?

ICYMI: 15:48: *TRUMP SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT A CEASEFIRE WITH IRAN 17:16: *TRUMP SAYS US CONSIDERING 'WINDING DOWN' IRAN MILITARY EFFORT 18:19: *WHITE HOUSE: TRUMP REMAINS FOCUSED ON 'TOTAL' VICTORY IN IRAN 18:25: EXPLOSIONS HEARD IN TEHRAN

@zerohedge Just 1.6% of the economy. Why not that big in just one state ?

*SOFTBANK CEO: OHIO DATA CENTER WILL BE $500 BILLION PROJECT uhm, is this a joke?

@james_oluborode @FoxNews What if Iran doesn't wind down but keep sending out drones?

@FoxNews Finally someone drawing a line and actually finishing the job instead of endless red lines. Get it done and come home.

NEW: President Trump says the US is close to meeting its military objectives against Iran “as we consider winding down.”

@FoxNews What if Iran doesn't wind down?

@jdjaguar44 @dgsommersmkts @KobeissiLetter You act like I wrote something, that I didn't write. 🤣

@tex_devil_dog @dgsommersmkts @KobeissiLetter Their drone making capability gets bombed to hell and back. You act like 70 million Iranians don’t want to be free. They do

BREAKING: President Trump says the US is “close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great military efforts in the Middle East.” The announcement comes 13 minutes after futures markets have closed for the weekend.

Order is subject to adjustment at any time. Also worth noting that this meme is missing the space lasers.

@baltostar @TaviCosta When did the FED become competent and cautious ?

@TaviCosta I thought you owned gold because Fed is incompetent and reckless ?

Added a bit more gold today. You either lean into moments like this or step aside. This surge in yields is not sustainable. The Fed will have to step in inevitably, in my view. Unwinding with a glass of wine tonight. Cheers everyone.
