Something has to give. People can only hold on for so long before they start to crumble. It’s a miracle we aren’t in a recession with people feeling this gloomy. Over 60% of Americans are very worried about losing their jobs. Highest since 2008. H/t @porterstansb pic.twitter.com/YMITs3w9Lt — QE Infinity (@StealthQE4) March 20, 2025 Fund …

The numbers tell a story no one in the White House wants to discuss. A nonprofit that barely existed just two years ago has somehow been entrusted with $7 billion in taxpayer money, all under the guise of fighting climate change. There’s no real plan, no clear oversight, and the little we do know raises …

It’s the highest level of concern we’ve seen since the Dot Com Bubble. What does this mean? The U.S. economy is heading into dangerous territory. But it’s not just the stock market that’s in trouble.

Think about this: The CFPB collects fines from …
Steve Diggle, Founder of Vulpes Investment Management, discusses how to prepare for the next volatility “super-spike”.
This is systemic corruption at its worst. USAID’s millions are flowing to addresses that don’t even exist. Empty plots, dilapidated buildings—it’s almost as if they’re laundering money, pretending to fund projects that never materialize. The secrecy around these grants is no accident. Meanwhile, the Biden Administration covertly funnels cash into Politico to spread their agenda …
Trump signed an executive order directing officials to create a sovereign wealth fund for the U.S. But the U.S. is $36.5 trillion in debt. Doesn't it make sense to pay that debt off first, as it's a guaranteed return? Otherwise, the sovereign wealth fund will be highly leveraged. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) February 3, 2025 …

In the last two days, $NVDA, a $3 trillion market cap company, swung 6% up and 6% down like a penny stock. What does this tell us? It highlights the speculative nature of hedge funds moving in and out. Just 10 years ago, even a $100B company wouldn’t move more than 2% in either direction. …

Oh, there’s a certain poetic justice in Congressman Thomas Massie’s latest idea.

The Financial Times has launched a new venture arm to invest in high-growth media and tech companies, executives told Axios, and FT Ventures’ first investment is in Charter, a future-of-work media startup.

by Chris Black The law is absurd, and no one should comply with this. You can’t charge foreign companies because they offer internet services.

They called him the “Godfather.” Before he was FBI director, Jim Comey was general counsel of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund.
