CNBC guest experts talking about AI is absolutely asinine. Not only do they not understand AI but they have no knowledge whatsoever of how any activity is automated and deployed. They don’t even understand what workers are actually doing. They know buzz words but their arguments are nonsense.

GOLDMAN warns of what a 10% stock market tumble would do to consumption: “.. such a decline would erase the 0.3pp boost to spending from wealth effects we expect in our baseline, resulting in a negative effect in 2026H2 .. disproportionately from spending by higher-income households.” 👀

Let it be known that Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh are political hacks and Trump lackeys; not proper supreme court justices. Fortunately the constitution prevailed today on the Tariff ruling but no thanks to these clown puppets.

Every GOP primary advertisement has the same message which is a claim they are more obedient Trump puppets than their opponents. Just little cowards; all of them.

The thing about meme/GFT speculation is there aren't any losers YET. With gambling, every winner is immediately offset by a loser so people aren't as prone to throw a lot of their net worth in playing lotteries. But with meme/GFT, you can't see the losers until many years later, so FOMO takes root.

I think it's funny when someone claims they can manage my money and beat the market. Because if that were true (it isn't), they wouldn't be wasting their time talking to me. It's the same vibe as books/programs that claim to reveal the 'secrets' to making easy money in trading, real estate, etc.
