You will never guess what Miss Lilly SCB and Rex prefer...

Wonder how many don't think like us?
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
Costco is a great company. that's not the point. Regarding investing now, I feel there is at least another 20 to 30 per cent correction in the market. Possibly more
Once all of the inflation, labor, residential/commercial real estate is sorted out we'll see how bad this gets. Plus dont forget the food shortages, chaos, riots, coups etc especially overseas, and south of us. I predict there will be mass migrations to western countries.
Its funny how arrogant Americans and Europeans have become because we now have enjoyed a very standard of living despite our record debts. All of the proxy Russia war planners at RAND corp, who orchestrated this war, never took into account how vulnerable we were due to our heavy debt before entering a war and actually thought sanctions would work to our and European's advantage. . Sanctions of course exacerbated our debt problems, inflation and made us much more vulnerable now.China locked down its economy and our supplies at the same time adding more supply chain issues, Think this was by accident? Of course our great proxy war mongers at RAND and the pentagon neglected to predict this too. take a look at Russia's debt and what they produce now in country while we outsourced all of our production overseas.
We're in for fun times even though a good portion of the US populace is in denial mode.
It isn't that a good portion is in denial mode, it is that a good portion is totally ignorant of anything going on in this country beyond their little bubble.
They never watch any news.
They never even read any headlines.
They're on pinterest looking at craft ideas for Little Suzies birthday party and tiktok watching some stupid video of a cat jumping from a table to a couch, and taking Little Johnny to his t-ball practice, crying that gas is $5/gallon and that McDonalds won't pay them a living wage higher than the $15/hour they're paying part time help.
And then come election day, they're voting for whoever is telling the best story on how much they're going to give.

I don't recommend trying to catch falling knives.
Good post.
The FED has signaled more interest rates bumps but I do question if Powell has the same dogged determination of what Volker had. If not he’ll start easing again if he’s not already doing so behind the scenes.
I thought about you when I drove by a Ritchie Bros. facility north of Denver on Monday. The site was crammed full of vehicles and industrial equipment. I can remember times in the past few years when there was almost nothing on the lot.

The govt calculated CPI is nothing but pure propaganda horseshit.
The 8.5% is in reality about 3 times that.
Either they are lying or the math that I was taught in public school has failed me greatly. NOTHING I am buying has only gone up 8.5%. You are correct more like 3 times that rate.
