@SupremeDmt @anders_aslund On Obama’s time in office. Not Trump. I see so much misinformation.

[Paul Alexander @PaulAlexTrader]

@GuyS1250 @anders_aslund But let me help you a bit. You’ve heard the concept of: “Keep your enemies close”, right? When all chaos breaks loose, having close ties with the enemy is one hell of an advantage compared to all out war.

[Paul Alexander @PaulAlexTrader]

@GuyS1250 @anders_aslund My God! You are delusional. Maybe try a new news source. New friends. Something! I can’t reply to a stretch like this on a 244 char. platform. The general notion that Trump isn’t 100% pro-American, is a failure to check and balance one’s own self. You are in the echo chamber.

[Paul Alexander @PaulAlexTrader]

@avenkristine @anders_aslund That is the echo chamber explanation. We can get into those kind of details with 244 characters, but it will take endless tweets. Back to the original tweet- To think Trump and Carlson work for Putin is reckless thinking. Secondly, nobody “voted” for Tucker Carlson.

[Paul Alexander @PaulAlexTrader]

@oceanman61 @anders_aslund Tucker has an independent opinion- even among his colleagues, and I don’t always agree. When someone questions the Ukrain-Russian war, it does not make them pro-Putin. When the fur doesn’t fly, because people are scared to voice opinions, bad things happen. Think about that.

[NWS Fort Worth @NWSFortWorth]

DFW & Waco both hit 100 again today. DFW moves into 6th place with 48 days. Waco is in a tie for 2nd place with 63 days.

But a pattern change means there are no more triple digits in the 10 day forecast. Even the last week of August is likely to be below normal! #dfwwx #ctxwx

[Texas Storm Chasers ⚡ @TxStormChasers]

Woah nelly… a bit of rain on Thursday, a whole lot more rain come Sunday and into next week. We’ll see how the forecast trends, but it’s been a very long time since we’ve had so many bright colors that wasn’t on a surface temperature map.

San Angelo has officially tied the record with 2011 for the greatest number of consecutive 100° days with 28, including today. The count began on July 4th and makes the total number of 100° days in July a whopping 29 out of 31 days. #sjtwx #txwx

Hedge funds focused on Asia and China are heading for the steepest monthly losses in two years, according to Goldman Sachs, $GS.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

In 1998, the Russian stock market fell by 94% and the government fell within a week. Now the Russian stocks in London (the only real Russian stock market) have fallen by 98% in two weeks. This is worse than 1998. Time for the guilty president to go!

[Jim Bianco @biancoresearch]

The fed funds futures market is now pricing in a 5% probability of NO HIKE in March. First time in many weeks NO HIKE is on the board.

And no, this is not bullish.

5% NO HIKE in March means the market is starting to price in a "everything hits the fan" scenario.

Instead of looking at tech stocks during the worst year in a decade and saying index funds is the way to go. You might want to look at the 5 year graph below.

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up and knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. A lion wakes up and knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. Whether you're a lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

First, they told us there was no inflation.

Next, they said it was transitory.

Then, they said it was here for a while.

Then, they’ll say it is permanent.

Then, they’ll say it is good for us.
