The U.S. economy is currently a “hollowed-out” powerhouse. While the 2% GDP surge looks decent on a teleprompter, new data confirms that nearly three-quarters of that growth is just the tech giants frantically buying server racks and H100 chips to avoid falling behind in the AI arms race. Outside the …

AXP is being framed as a steady compounder at a reasonable multiple, but that stability depends on more moving parts than the headline growth suggests. Earnings growth at ~14% over 1Y and 5Y, with a P/E of 19.77 and forward P/E of 16.03, is pricing continuity rather than acceleration. That …

Housing markets don't all of a sudden crash. First they freeze. No one buying, more and more sellers slowly piling up. Why does this take place?

US Durable Goods Orders fell 1.4% in February, significantly missing the 0.5% decline expectation as transportation demand craters. The manufacturing floor is falling out while the Fed stays hawkish.

By Peter Reagan Sometimes life doesn’t space things out for you. It stacks them. A broken appliance. A medical scare. A bill you weren’t expecting. None of those things are unusual on their own – but when they arrive together, that’s when it starts to feel overwhelming. Lately, I’ve been …
At first glance, it looks contradictory. Rent growth slows, but rent still feels unaffordable. The reason is simple. Growth and level are not the same thing. Recent data shows that rents have softened in many markets. In 2025, asking rents declined year over year in 74 out of 150 крупных …

This isn’t just “jobless growth.” It’s a signal the system is quietly hollowing out. 🚨What is happening with the US economy? US non-farm payrolls increased just +0.1% YoY in 2025, the weakest job market expansion in 22 YEARS, excluding recessions. At the same time, US GDP expanded +2.2% in 2025, …
For those arguing the GDP data "isn't that bad" due to the gov't shutdown, the ACTUAL data DISAGREES. The GDP Deflator came in at 3.6% – meaning most of the 1.4% GDP was inflation, NOT real growth. Forget the shutdown excuse. The weakness is real, and productivity is terrible. https://t.co/W13nd3nZAh …
