We recorded a momentum thrust off the 2023 correction, 2025 mini-bear, and the 2026 correction.
Highly abnormal to have this many momo thrusts and at ATHs...We have argued these v-shaped rebounds are a feature of the "debasement regime."
@stevehou ok, sillier math here, 1T revenue from coding, assume each engineer replaced cost 200k. that is 5 million engineers. So by that time, every one's fired. Who's paying for the whole economy.
@Rory_Johnston@TommyCIII Since price isn’t behaving as predicted, we should consider other factors, like the price that would stress the US or Asian economy. Gov’ts likely analyze it this way and manage around that line, though whether they let it get too close or it surpasses that line is another matter
The AI capex cycle is reshaping the US economy along a single fault line: proximity to the buildout.
Capital is flooding into hyperscalers. Everything else is being starved.
This is not a bubble debate. It is a structural bifurcation. The cohort paying for it is not who you think.

@EconstratPB It seems like the days when bonds were used to protect against stocks are over. Now, commodities tend to move in the opposite direction of bonds, making them a different way to hedge stocks.
@EconstratPB Trump can offer Iran sanctions relief and other concessions that might appeal to the Iranian people. However, this doesn’t always align with the ruling class. That’s the challenge in reaching a deal without regime change.
@BlacklionCTA@EconstratPB@mmm_btus Didn’t JD have an all-weather like portfolio where everything is equally weighted? This demonstrates his thought process, even if it’s influenced by regulatory pressures.
@EnergyPeddler Iran expressed their distrust in the Americans. However, the only genuine trust they could have is that the severe impact of high oil prices has left such a lasting impression that no one is willing to attempt it again for the foreseeable future.
@EconstratPB I believe the peace talks will eventually succeed. However, Iran has the luxury of time. Demanding that Iran relinquish both Hormuz and its nuclear program is likely to take significantly longer, if not indefinitely.
@EconstratPB@toiletkingcap Is it possible in the long run American industry recovery benefits from a high equilibrium in oil price? Just asking. Like insteadjng of catching up we are slowing others down.
