No new buys on Berkshires latest 10Q but added to PARA (averaging down) and OXY (more oil/gas, already added to CVX last few quarters). Notable add to ALLY (Ally Financial) in which he added 200%+...

Interesting that in late June Lennar said on their earnings call that it was just sticker shock and that there is still a housing shortage. How many purchased a second home in the midwest in hopes...

It very well could happen sooner than later once those higher mortgage rates start to stick.

I love it. Do as I say not as I do.

With rates as low as they were, there was massive investment in speculative ideas from whales like Softbank ($4B loss in Vision Fund) along with an unknown amount of Sovereign Wealth Funds, hedge...

Dow Transports holding up incredibly well during what could very well be a recession that we're in. We're actually above levels seen in the summer months of 2021 right now.

Heavy multi month resistance area ahead from 2000 - 2100 for the S Fund.

Gasoline futures much lower than the national average. ($3.05 vs $4.01) Even with gas taxes, that's a big discrepancy with possible lower gas prices at the pump coming in the weeks or months ahead.

I don't like when resistance is broken higher with a gap up since it almost guarantees backfilling somewhere along the line. Would rather have seen an open in the red, then the big move. Massive...

A friend of mine was telling me about how the housing market is falling hard again. I don't pay attention much since our will be paid off in a year and we don't look at a house as an investment. He...

At bubble highs, pension funds are barely fully funded. Now we're finding most pension funds (and individual savers) are swimming naked.

Get it to 3% next meeting then wait for things to catch up. The fed always overdoes it on both ends (cutting and raising rates).

I agree peak inflation has probably passed. Gasoline demand is below where it was at the same time in August 2020. If only the US had more refinery capacity.

Agree with fireweather that inflation has probably peaked. Thanks to high prices, gasoline demand is starting to dwindle and prices are starting to come down. The administration will take full...

If you have a certified copy of the TSP-3 form in your digital file, how can your beneficiaries be deleted? I would be willing to bet they have not been deleted and that it's just a matter of things...

You'd think the forcing of electric vehicles and appliances on people by politicians would really be good for the EV makers, but it's not.

Just saw this one:...

A few months old, but gives an idea of bitcoin sentiment in a survey among Goldman Sachs clients. Since March bitcoin is down over 50%, but anyone holding bitcoin will be biased to the bull side.

Only 12 more days until GDP comes in negative to make it official.

When does the fed stop and when do they reverse course to fend off deflation again?

Also buried in that article - blockchain.com is facing a $270M loss from their loans to 3AC. It's fun to watch the collateral damage. The more I read, the more I realize crypto, specifically defi...
