Leaky ships don't sustain market rips.

Today we venture into a new topic of discussion-safety. Weird things are happening and we discuss what is going on.

Today we discuss the troubling trend of companies running out of money, the US running out of credibility, and a European supermarket looking out for its customers. We look at the progress Javier Milei is making in Argentina and we listen when a particular Dallas Federal Reserve President speaks.

We reflect and project on 2023 and 2024.

Today we discuss rare earth minerals, the failed hyperloop, and the new export market for Japan. We admire the pluck of Javier Milei for standing up to China, we don't admire the leader of Chicago, and we see why Zulily went broke.

A Christmas doubleheader because all of these news articles are breaking when Americans are woozy on eggnog. Is that by design as well. We find the answer of what scared Biden, Yellen, and Powell, finally...

Biden, Yellen, and Powell all changed the markets for a reason and we speculate why with the Treasury and oil markets grabbing our attention in part I of our first double header.

The market is still the same as it ever was, EV companies have going concern issues, and smartphones are making our kids dumb. Luckily Chicago is dumbing down its schools, intercity transportation is being gutted while subsidized empty planes fly the friendly skies to former bus destinations, and Canada has lost its way in all the snow and ice.

Anthony Blinken and Blue Bell lovin' Biden travel the world looking for a way to help Janet Yellen's treasury market.

Today we discuss Powell's future pivot and oil tensions in South America are easing while they are escalating in the Middle East. The US passed a mammoth defense bill, cows are burping rudely in New Zealand, and not everyone believes this rally can continue into the new year.
