Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
Crypto correlation with stock market. Dollar down today with economic bad news (consumer confidence down) hinting the Fed will slow tightening. (Weaker USD = more USD needed to buy asset like cryptos). I think the Bloomberg article provides a relatively objective case for why crypto has value - much better than any promoter of crypto. The crypto hucksters have been been unsavory, to say it kindly.

For only the second time, Business Week devotes an entire issue to one topic: Crypto. Worth a read if one has the time and patience to read a 40,000 word article by one reporter. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2022-the-crypto-story/?srnd=businessweek-v2

Kanye
Kanye is proof that music/art opinions are subjective. Kanye is pop music attempting to be art music. There is no accounting for taste, especially when the artist has documented mental health issues - especially cluster b personality disorders: We all know someone like Kanye. One would hope his friends would get him the help he needs.

According to the Bloomberg: The Biden administration is exploring the possibility of new export controls that would limit China’s access to some of the most powerful emerging computing technologies, according to people familiar with the situation. The potential plans, which are in an early stage, are focused on the still-experimental field of quantum computing, as well as artificial intelligence software, according to the people, who asked not to be named discussing private deliberations. Industry experts are weighing in on how to set the parameters of the restrictions on this nascent technology, they said. The efforts, if implemented, would follow separate restrictions announced earlier this month aimed at stunting Beijing’s ability to deploy cutting-edge semiconductors in weapons and surveillance systems. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-20/us-eyes-expanding-china-tech-ban-to-quantum-computing-and-ai?srnd=premium&utm_source=website&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=mobile_web_share File under “shaping the battlefield” in the China v. the West Cold War.- UK/Parliament Thread of Dominance
Unlike the US, floating mortgage interest rates in Britain are the norm. Inflation hits mortgage holders harder and more immediately in Britain. Landlords pass on those rate hikes to renters. Add in doubt whether London will remain a financial center - and you have this mess.- UK/Parliament Thread of Dominance
Borrowing money to cut the taxes of the most wealthy is not a winning play in Brexit Britain.- Oh nothing, just Michael Flynn calling for an open air coup

Evil. Designed to discourage voting. Step 1: Tell people they're eligible to vote. Step 2: Let them vote. Step 3: Send the cops to their home to tell them they really weren't eligible to vote. Step 4: Make the claim that voter fraud is rampant.- Kanye

Antitrust laws have been so neglected I doubt there is a problem. They will probably spin off the low performing stores into a brand that will fail to give the appearance of competition. Walmart will continue to dominate regardless of the merger.- Markets still falling like whoa
USD remains the preeminent safe haven. British attempts to resurrect the voodoo economics of Maggie and Ronnie were aborted quickly with the ouster of the Kwarteng. As for the almighty Fed - remember PCE is their more trusted data source - not CPI. Volatility is the name of the game. Technicals trigger tumult in the markets.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?

Want to feel worse? Bernanke just won the Nobel Prize for stating the obvious - “He who controls the USD brrt machine - controls the world.”- Markets still falling like whoa
She does have a point. There are deflationary headwinds building. From Ms. Woods open letter to JPow: Bernanke, Janet and Jay Dove would have had the brrrt machines in maximum overdrive with those headwind numbers (and Cathie would have been stacking money for nothing). Those days are over. There has been a regime change since the inflation bogeyman was reanimated. Cathie needs to ramp up her pump and dump game if she is going to keep up with the vultures making money in the equity markets these days.- Lauren Boobert - Tits and a Gun
