This is exactly what many already knew. The funny part is knowing something and admitting what it means are two different things on Wall Street. Inflation too high? Everybody knows. Oil and war making it worse? Everybody knows. Labour market resilient? Everybody knows. So the Fed has room to fight inflation instead of rushing to rescue asset prices. And yet: “Yeah, but when cuts?” 😂 My friend, the Fed just HIKE. Not cut. HIKE. The assumption of cheaper money has met an inconvenient reality: inflation remains a problem, the economy can tolerate tighter policy, and the Fed is showing inflation comes first. This doesn't mean “Fed hikes, stocks crash tomorrow.” The point is simpler: the price of money matters. Yields matter. Valuation matters. When safer assets offer meaningful returns, paying

I keep hearing the bull case, and apparently it now requires Kevin Warsh and the Fed to perform a magic trick. Suppose Warsh miraculously doesn’t hike. Fantastic. Pop the champagne, fire up the algos and buy everything because disaster has officially been postponed until the next FOMC meeting. Except the threat of a hike doesn’t disappear. It simply becomes the charming little macro landmine sitting underneath the market for the rest of the year. Every inflation print, jobs number, oil spike and Fed speech becomes another episode of “Will They or Won’t They?” And if the Fed does hike? Congratulations—the bulls get the tightening they insist is already priced in. If the Fed doesn’t hike? Congratulations again—the market gets to spend the next few months wondering when Warsh finally pulls th

Welcome to the K Economy, where half the people toast champagne and the other half toast bread crusts. One side calls it “growth,” the other calls it “survival.”But hey, averages look great: 50% thriving, 50% struggling — which magically equals 100% denial. It’s the only math where inequality is rebranded as balance.So raise a glass: here’s to half-gains, half-pains, and the full-time art of pretending the other half doesn’t exist.

iPhone 18 already? 😂 My iPhone 15 hasn’t even finished puberty. Apparently, my S$1,900 phone is obsolete because the new one is 0.02nm thinner, 2 grams lighter, has 10 million more pixels and a CPU 2x faster… so I can watch TikTok at exactly the same speed. 🤣📱 But hey, corporate profits aren’t going to grow themselves… and we must keep up with the Joneses. 💸📈 Still using an iPhone 17 that works perfectly? How selfish. Think of the corporations, the shareholders… and the neighbours. 😂

Anthropic is good. But 30 trillion is subjective. [Glance]  

Boom then doom [Grin]  

Yes...as big as 40 trillion...it seems [Happy]  

How to isolate a totally isolated country? Sure, let’s tariff its friends too — because apparently the goal is to make loneliness a global export.

Dang… that’s a lightning‑bolt epiphany.
