@dampedspring I used to work at a brokerage where me and the other guys loved having paper trading contests.

One time we flipped the script to see who could lose the most money on a $50,000 account. No leverage, no options, no microcaps.

All our accounts were green at the end of the contest.

@DianeSwonk @BostonFed Curious if any conclusions would change if the disruptions were measured in barrels, not dollars.

Good reasons to suspect the pricing mechanisms of the oil markets aren't the best measure of the magnitude of this shock.

@_SofiaBaig_ Is this a monthly series?

@conorsen @IrvingSwisher It does seem to have turned, but that's raised a new puzzle for me.

If the unemployment rate stayed stable during the stretch of zero NFP, why isn't it plummetting now that we're getting +170k numbers again?

@FedResearch @Brad_Setser

I'd be curious to hear if there is anything you'd add to this assessment.

Gotta remember the important mission our dues helps to advance.

@Fullcarry Agreed. Always like to remind fans that the real story ends with a shotgun to the face.

@DerivativesDon Is this temptation the feeling that kills cats?

@sidprabhu Pets on the other hand? I can't get enough images of my dogs at historical events.

@dampedspring @AahanPrometheus What was the volatility product before /vx futures during 2000-2002?

@SoberLook Gotta duration adjust this graph or the FinTwit gurus will come out to feed

@EconBerger We can't be pulling out the muse of fire at a time like this. There's not enough oil to light up the brightest heaven.

@SteveMiran Timely topic, but this statement:

"Microsoft Excel with an LLM is superior to without"

is going to get a laugh from any spreadsheet jockey.

Even though LLMs are fantastic programmers generally, they create more problems than they solve in spreadsheets.

@EconstratPB @BickerinBrattle Can I get in on this $100 bet too?

No chance of a cut in June.

@ShortSeller Break from the channel down into the upward channel?

@BobEUnlimited What reasonable conclusions can be drawn about the difference between retail and institutions?

I'm not sure institutions have an informational edge any longer.

@DerivativesDon Are you taking any signal from /NQ in this market? Know it's not real money, but levered players seem to be at the wheel.
