@DeItaone That's pretty close to where they were before the red card reversal situation, isn't it?

@PeterSchiff @omgsidewalks Just out of sheer curiosity, when and where has "pure capitalism" with a strong and just legal framework established ever existed or been tested?

[Michael St Lawrence @MSLInsights]

Capitalism without sensible restraints and guardrails is equally responsible for the need for bailouts.

The 08-09 Great Recession was largely caused by the financial capture of rating and regulatory agencies by the financial institutions they were tasked with rating and regulating.

@Hedgeye People can't afford the expense of these activities as easily as they could in the past.

[Michael St Lawrence @MSLInsights]

@MarioNawfal A big cause of this is simply expense.

[Michael St Lawrence @MSLInsights]

@DeItaone Perfect timing before markets open coming from... you guessed it... Axios.

[Michael St Lawrence @MSLInsights]

@SarahIronside6 Along with governing fundamentals borrowed from ancient Greece and Rome and the ideals of freedom and liberty from the Enlightenment.

Markets don't go up in a straight line. Look at how far up semiconductors have gone and what they're losing is a tiny percentage... they're overweight now and it's impacting the broader market. Whether it's the start of a bigger downturn we'll have to see, but the "buy the dip" crowd has fierce conviction and seemingly bottomless liquidity to keep the party going.

Google has significant advantages including businesses that make huge profits that all benefit from AI... YouTube, Google Ads, the Play store, enterprise services... the list goes on and on.

They have an enormous customer base and AI integration into tools we all know and have mastered over the years carries legacy equity.

@blueblocr @MarioNawfal There is no mention of Jesus or any of the names given to God in the King James Bible in the Declaration of Independence or Constitution... "Creator" was the name given to the highest power.

That was intentional.

Most of the FFs were Deists... Christianity was very different in the late 1700s than it is today. The foundation for America's constitution and form of government had NOTHING to do with Christianity... it was based on Roman-Greco governing ideals. The more extreme form of evangelical Christianity we are familiar with today emerged in the late 1800s.

@kejca The Coca Cola company is certainly one of the major contributors to the parabolic rise in diabetes over the last 50 years... and heavy investments in Dairy Queen and McDonalds were a bit part of the trend too. Investors make a lot of money on people's bad habits and weaknesses.

[Michael St Lawrence @MSLInsights]

I would love to know where you get your 53/47 number from as the wealth gap is much higher now than I can ever remember. I'm wondering if we're comparing apples to apples from the 70s... for example. Compare the CEO income multiple against their lower paid employees. In the 70s it was 25-30x... now it's 300-500x ... somehow, at least to me, that feels pretty out of whack.

@PSeglund @DailyCaller How are we feeling about Trump now? The Iran war... depleting our munitions, $80 Billion in war costs... and now the MOU that sounds like he caved out of desperation.

[Michael St Lawrence @MSLInsights]

@bennyjohnson Your numbers are way off. Just saying.

[Michael St Lawrence @MSLInsights]

@TheH0n3stTrader 1% of $200k is $2,000
To get to $100,000 you would need 50%

Just saying....

[Michael St Lawrence @MSLInsights]

@ChicagoGuy2020 @DeItaone If you traded the markets long since the war started, you would have done extremely well so far. Some big swings for sure, but solidly way up.

@Bubblebathgirl He might win again on the Seniors tour, but highly unlikely on the regular tour.

That train left the station and hopefully his mental, emotional and physical health is the "tournament" he focuses on and wins.
