Economics, Finance & Politics NERD! I post what I find here and on my website throughout the week. 🤓

A better question @Bloomberg: how to KEEP a #whisky collection? 🤔🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🤪

One thing that can be said about @RayDalio: the man is not afraid to be publicly wrong time and time again... maybe he'll get one right this time (very overdue). #COVID19

@JJ_McCullough Oh, no! I recognize almost everyone on that list! 🤪

This is such a great article on the dynamics of the yield curve. Well done, @barronsonline! 👏 https://t.co/ehBOv6UPiy via @Barronsonline

To give you a sense of how fast this is all moving, I've interviewed a half-dozen top economists this week and nobody was predicting this cut would come this soon

I'm getting a real kick out of people on Twitter getting on their high horse and lecturing people about the immorality of rooting against (or shorting) the #StockMarket. Their ignorance is on full public display. 📉😭🤑

[B.T. Journalist 🇨🇦 📈 @bt_journalist]

I thought that the #StockMarket would be down 10% by the end of the week... looks like it might do that before end of day. Yikes!

@TheStalwart I wonder if @corona would sponsor the helicopters making those drops?

[B.T. Journalist 🇨🇦 📈 @bt_journalist]

@edmontonjournal This is why you don't cut spending without a new source of stimulus or trade. What new deals has the UCP created for AB to go with their austerity measures? @jkenney will cripple our economy in light of a Coronavirus recession!

[B.T. Journalist 🇨🇦 📈 @bt_journalist]

@jkenney Unfortunately, those hospitals will be short on qualified medical staff, but at least we'll have some shiny new buildings! 👎

[B.T. Journalist 🇨🇦 📈 @bt_journalist]

@TheStalwart At least your sound quality is good. Why does @tracyalloway always sound like she is calling in from a pay phone? 😂

[B.T. Journalist 🇨🇦 📈 @bt_journalist]

@PierrePoilievre ...or the current slowdown points to another world #recession not unlike what @CPC_HQ experienced in 2008.

[B.T. Journalist 🇨🇦 📈 @bt_journalist]

What a surprise! I guess Albertans aren't thrilled with all the UCP's #ABbudget cuts met with no significant progress with #oilandgas projects. Alberta will likely experience medical brain drain next thanks to @jkenney.

Lots of talk about #StockMarketCrash2020. Let's consider a case FOR and AGAINST a World Recession in 2020 📉 https://t.co/yCXaTGkFA0

@CBCPolitics Climate change is an important issue but it is only feasible during good times. These are not good times. We need our gov't to be pragmatic now.

2/2 @jkenney appears to draw inspiration from the budget balancing of the Chrétien Liberals, but he forgets that those austerity measures were assisted by trade growth from #NAFTA. What new trade deal has Kenney secured to go with his budget cuts?

[B.T. Journalist 🇨🇦 📈 @bt_journalist]

1/2 If there is not a global #recession during @Alberta_UCP time in office, their austerity measures will keep the AB economy from advancing. If there is a global #recession, they will completely destroy it. #AbLeg
