May 5, 20232 yr https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/05/u-s-adds-a-strong-253-000-jobs-despite-feds-rate-hikes-00095541 Quote America’s employers added a robust 253,000 jobs in April, evidence of a labor market that still shows surprising strength despite rising interest rates, chronically high inflation and a banking crisis that could weaken the economy. The unemployment rate ticked down to 3.4%, matching a 54-year low. Last month’s hiring gain compared with 165,000 in March and 248,000 in February, and is at a level considered vigorous by historical standards. The Biden economic miracle keeps rolling. My condolences to the media and the Republican Party.
May 26, 20232 yr 36 minutes ago, we_gotta_believe said: Sanity restored Quote The Republican-sponsored bill passed by a vote of 218-203 with two Democrats joining the Republican majority in favor of the resolution. It’s unclear whether the bill will pass the Democrat-controlled Senate, but if it does, the White House has already vowed to veto it.

Yes, I voted for Biden and hate what populism has done to the GOP, but I'd vote for Amash, Romney, and any other sensible fiscal conservatives in a second if given the chance. Socially liberal and fiscally conservative minded people no longer have a home in the modern-day GOP.
June 13, 20232 yr Inflation was 0.1% for May, down to 4% YoY. https://www.bls.gov/cpi/latest-numbers.htm Seems like a good report to me. Market will probably tank because it's wholly irrational lol.

Maybe a slight dip but I would be shocked at anything significant. We're up like 5% or so in the past month, so yeah some of that might erode a bit, but would be shocked if we lost most of those gains by week's end. I guess if the larger concern is that this is the start of a trend toward a deflationary spiral then yeah i could see some bleeding but who knows.

Maybe I'll profit take at like 10-11am because I feel like there's always a pullback in the afternoon. More likely I'll just do nothing because I tend to overthink trades past the point of where I should have made them.

If I do anything, it's usually turning down or stopping the faucet of money going in.

I imagine grocery costs has some ripple effect to catering and restaurants, but this was not part of the study. Starving children is ok but abortion is not? I have a hard time grasping this set of morals.

I wouldn't personally support my wife having an abortion, but other people are free to burn in hell. I'm pro poors dying in any way possible -- pre or post birth.
