I've never looked up dog food options online in my life. Had a conversation about dog food purchases this morning, referencing specfic brand. Ad for said brand appears on my Chess.com feed 2 hours later.

$NKE is going to open around 80% south of the ATH it reached five years ago. And 63% lower than when Elliott Hill took over in 2024. Carnage.

So .. Treasury yields are ... higher? ... after cooler PCE data? You'd have to think that's a concern.

If you listened to Jensen Huang’s sunny assessment of AI on Ezra Klein’s podcast …. Have a snippet of Bill Gates’ appearance. Possibly the bleakest outlook I have heard to date. Honestly troubling.

The AI Bros are growing so tiresome ... OpenAI now telling us (Po Faced) that they can't in good conscience release their new model, 'cuz it's just so powerful'. Ugh. It's like listening to a 9-year old with a new lego set telling you he's going ot build a new and better St. Paul's cathehral ...

With GOP polls in crisis, and midterms 37 days out ... would you bet against an "October Surprise" of a Trump/Iran deal that drags WTI down to the low 80s, pulls 10s back into the high 4% range, juices stocks to alltime highs and provides *just* enough cover into the November vote?

Cathie Wood just now: "The grid doesn't use oil." The EIA: "About 60% of electricity generation (2023 data) was from fossil fuels—coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases."

So 10y breakevens are falling, even as 10y yields rise. And, amid the surge in rates this year, real yields have outpaced breakevens 10 to 1 So bond markets aren't fearing inflation. And the term premia hasn't moved much, so they're not worried about debt/deficits either Yet the massive selloff?

Warsh "Starting to look like Volcker" because he was strong-armed into a hike when oil is $105, 10s are trading at the higest since 2007, government policy is all over the shop and Dems are about to retake Congress? No, is the short and polite answer.

The S&P 500 is up 1% over the past four months, largely in concert with higher Treasury yields (which built the rate hike). Guy on CNBC just say: I don't think higher rates have any impact on stocks.

Fed just told us inflaiton won't return to target until 2029 ... Warsh is less than six months into the job and has effectively already failed.
