I finally got to "1929" by @andrewrsorkin

Made me realize we have terrific safeguards in place today yet we're still abusing the system, one reason we have a $40 trillion national debt

Financial system now enables stupidity more than ever

With a short layman's history of forward guidance

Plus how many fish Jim caught at Camp Kotok🐟

[Rick Newman @rickjnewman]

If you follow the Federal Reserve, you're going to start hearing a lot about whether the Fed should continue "forward guidance"

I talked about this with @biancoresearch at recently concluded Camp Kotok in eastern Maine

Here's Jim's short take

[Rick Newman @rickjnewman]

3 things to know about Trump's Canada tariffs:

~ They're on products not supposed to be tariffed under Trump's own trade deal!
~ Amount of products tariffed is small now but could quickly grow
~ Trump plans a lot of new tariffs once Nov midterms are over (gee, why wait?)

Nice chance recently to join @MSNOWNews and talk about Trump's new 50% tariffs on some Canadian exports and my favorite topic of all, the $40 trillion national debt

Thanks @AlexWitt et. al.
