Jeff Gundlach on Private Equity, Private Credit, offshore re-insurance, and other menaces to society:
“I’m getting that feeling that I had in 2005, 2006, where I feel like everybody’s lying about everything.”
My recent discussion with @frontiervalueh1 to discuss the chaos in the Strait of Hormuz and the impact of high energy prices on currency, equity and commodities markets.
We explore why markets did not react as expected, and contemplate the ripple effects of the crisis that may be felt months down the line across both emerging and developed markets.
Fascinating chart.
Smart money already sees where this is headed.
Wait until the US is forced to step in and contain surging yields through some form of yield curve control.
A weaker dollar alongside artificially suppressed yields creates the perfect environment for emerging markets to significantly outperform US equities.

Here are Grant @ttmygh Williams and @TheRoyaltyKing chatting. Once you get past those foreign accents, you really pick up some real wisdom. (I once drove 8 hrs to spend far fewer hours chatting with Grant; it was worth it.)

Worthwhile podcast with @scientificecon and @LukeGromen.
Nice to see them moving the overton window on the deep state and psyop cartel.
Fantastic points on all fronts. Concur

Great discussion by @LukeGromen, Grant @ttmygh Williams, and @JayMartinBC about the consequence of the War in Iran. Some stark realities...

One of the foundations of the US reserve currency status is the 1970s Nixon-KSA agreement that the US provides military protection in return for recycling of Petrodollars into the US bond market.
When President Trump says things like that "we don't need Hormuz" or that other countries should protect it, is he not undermining this very pillar of US reserve currency?
And no, putting out the fire you yourself started does not count. If the region is plunged into chaos, and then the US surges military to "fix it," that kind of abrogates the deal as well.
Then again, members of the administration have cited US reserve currency status as a burden... Maybe this is one way to... ease that burden...
We buying Warrior $HCC because it’s an underground longwall in Alabama and met coal prices are roofing because australia is slowly having a diesel supply crisis break out?
Sure why not…the koala will take that right now
Chatting with @ctindale today, he raised the incredibly valid point that a continued blockage in the Strait of Hormuz will not only inflate metals and energy prices, but will also lead to hyperinflation in food… due to no fertiliser.
Qatar: Exports 5.5 to 6.0 million metric tonnes of urea and ammonia annually from QAFCO.
Iran: Exports 5.0 million metric tonnes of urea.
Saudi Arabia: Exports 4.0 to 5.0 million tonnes via SABIC ports
Currently, 18% of global ammonia supply and 33% of global urea is interrupted.

@AlexMasonCrypto Mostly puts. This is a bearish way to bet against gold and avoid margin / borrow issue of shorting… You lose time value decay instead.
🚨 Prompt engineering is officially outdated.
Anthropic just released the real playbook for building AI agents that actually work.
It’s a 30+ page deep dive called The Complete Guide to Building Skills for Claude and it quietly shifts the conversation from “prompt engineering” to real execution design.
Here’s the big idea:
A Skill isn’t just a prompt.
It’s a structured system.
You package instructions inside a https://t.co/aldvvbZeVI file, optionally add scripts, references, and assets, and teach Claude a repeatable workflow once instead of re-explaining it every chat.
But the real unlock is something they call progressive disclosure.
Instead of dumping everything into context:
• A lightweight YAML frontmatter tells Claude when to use the skill
• Full instructions load only when relevant
• Extra files are accessed only if needed
Less context bloat. More precision.
They also introduce a powerful analogy:
MCP gives Claude the kitchen.
Skills give it the recipe.
Without skills: users connect tools and don’t know what to do next.
With skills: workflows trigger automatically, best practices are embedded, API calls become consistent.
They outline 3 major patterns:
1) Document & asset creation
2) Workflow automation
3) MCP enhancement
And they emphasize something most builders ignore: testing.
Trigger accuracy.
Tool call efficiency.
Failure rate.
Token usage.
This isn’t about clever wording.
It’s about designing an execution layer on top of LLMs.
Skills work across https://t.co/taoTr8bSkU, Claude Code, and the API. Build once, deploy everywhere.
The era of “just write a better prompt” is ending.
Anthropic just handed everyone a blueprint for turning chat into infrastructure.
