Independent thinking for complex markets and current events
This is the part where the numbers start looking a little strange. The top 10 U.S. companies are now worth more than $25 trillion combined. That is bigger than China’s entire GDP. And Nvidia alone is now worth more than the size of some major economies. The crazy part is not just one company. The …
This collapse is just getting started. Kids can’t get jobs and fast food giants scramble as broke Americans pull back hard. Labor Force participation is collapsing at a pace only seen during the 2020 crisis. Participation always drops before the official unemployment numbers skyrocket. Of-course that's only if you assume the BLS unemployment numbers are …
George Noble @gnoble79 This is the most OUTRAGEOUS deal I’ve seen in my 45 years on Wall Street. SpaceX just disclosed Musk’s new compensation package: He gets up to 200 million super-voting shares if SpaceX hits a $7.5 trillion valuation, establishes a permanent human settlement of at least ONE MILLION people on Mars, and deploys …

JP Morgan Q1 results beat on record trading revenue, yet Dimon is issuing quiet warnings on “unprecedented” tail risks and structural inflation persistence. They are selling their “record” performance to the crowd before the credit cycle turns. $JPM closed lower Tuesday despite beating earnings estimates across the board, and the culprit is net interest income …
By Peter Reagan There are a few ways economists try to measure how the economy is doing. Gross domestic product is the one you’ll hear about most often. It gets reported, revised, debated – and then repeated as shorthand for “everything is fine.” But if you’ve ever stood in a grocery aisle lately or looked …
via Phoenix Capital Research As I mentioned yesterday, the War in Iran has the potential to ignite another inflationary storm in the U.S. We’ve already assessed the threat this conflict presents to energy prices.

by Michael If Iran actually starts deploying naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, we are going to see a gigantic wave of panic sweep through global financial markets.

A control system slices the battlespace into little slices of time and space, to prevent microwaving our own defense missiles. Multiple credible reports confirm that the Epirus Leonidas high‑power microwave (HPM) system has successfully neutralized entire drone swarms, including 49 drones in a single shot and even 61 out of 61 drones in a full …

In its 250th year, is America, land of immigration, becoming a country of emigration? Last year the U.S. experienced something that hasn’t definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in. The Trump administration has hailed the exodus—negative net migration—as the fulfillment of its promise to ramp up deportations and restrict …

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, creating a massive divergence between …
via WSB: Two voting FOMC members have said the payroll jobs data is overstated. And no, this isn’t some Econ 101 dropout yelling “the numbers are fake” from his parents’ basement.

by Michael Over the past 5 years we have been witnessing an economic shift of epic proportions. When the cost of living rises much faster than paychecks do for an extended period of time, an entire nation can be transformed. Just look at what has happened to Venezuela.

Unemployment is rising – and most job creation is coming from one sector: Healthcare. This trend reveals a deeper imbalance: Fewer workers paying taxes, more people living on benefits and growing inflationary pressure across the economy… By Peter Reagan Listening to media talking heads and politicians about the economy can leave you confused and wondering …
This reads less like coincidence and more like a power play people are pretending not to see. Stack the courts fast, lock in ideology, and suddenly elections matter a lot less day to day. Whether you call it diversity or strategy, the timing is the tell. Courts move slow, but once they are filled, they …
