It’s crazy that there really has been a massive decline in crime rates (cont. few yrs’ trend) and any other admin would probably be loudly touting this but Trump can’t really because it undermines their more important priority of occupying US cities

This is surprising to me given another strong year in equity markets and changes to charitable deductions in 2026. Though maybe it’s wealthy people accelerating donations to DAFs and private Foundations and none of that getting to the charities yet?

I totally missed that in the Wiles VF interview brouhaha she said Trump and Epstein were “young single playboys together.” W T F

I understand why people think that they’re tanking renewables to boost oil because of their donors but I think it’s much much dumber than that. It’s all culture war bullsht - wind and solar are woke and gay, and their mad king has had a obsessive vendetta against this stuff for years

I love a good Sunday morning brawl between chart guys (laudatory) and illiterates

Don’t worry guys. I’m sure 1 of the thousands of FBI agents that reviewed the Epstein files is one of those non partisan patriots who just cares about the rule of law I keep hearing comprise the Bureau. The leaks will come any day.

What I thought - “NO.” What I did - clicked on it.

Jan 20, 2029 🙏

People coming into the office coughing and sneezing and sounding like sht… get the hell out of here!! Christmas is next week I would like to see my family what is wrong with you

“We don’t need to build more housing we have enough vacant houses” (*8 bed 1 bath abandoned meth lab)

It’s so funny how the American left romanticizes other countries, esp W Europe. Today’s discourse on drunk driving there’s so many replies like “we just need walkable cities and better public transportation 🙄” as if no other countries have suburban & rural areas

Really wish I was back on the sellside because I would be using “as your nation’s top bond salesman” for months

Chromeo @ Webster Hall Concerts are always a good idea

Lol. Lmao even.

Key lime pie ftw (Also the easiest thing in entire world to make)

Duffy is a dipshit but it’s weird people act like you have to choose between comfort and looking put together for flying. I haven’t worn a bra or hard pants on a plane in two decades and people say “you look so nice!” when I’m at the airport

Kind of underrated this dipshit’s “bring back civility on flights” happened the same week Trump pointed his sausage finger in a reporter’s face on Air Force One and said “Quiet Piggy”

It’s actually nice of Bessent to go on TV several times a week to remind every finance bro who “breathed a sigh of relief” “he’ll be the adult in the room,” that they are gullible clowns.

Wow, guy who repeatedly praises authoritarian leaders isn’t mad at when someone calls him a fascist. Must be charm and political prowess, no other explanation.

Consumer confidence report: Delta One lounge is packed. Fed’s gotta hike.

Genuinely don’t even know, what is the reason Republicans are giving their base/ constituents why they are voting not to release Epstein files?

Pretty funny seeing accounts that post Lucy with football memes about Congressional Dems posting “this is it guys! His coalition is collapsing!” … for the 20th time this year

Lots of headlines about US markets underperforming ROW by most in 15+ years but all of the underperformance happened in 1H. Dead heat since then.

Make “half plus 7” the law of the land. I think it would fix a lot of things tbh.

You missed the bottom

Friendly reminder

Is the Bberg change to PORT screen ruining anyone else’s life?!! It’s like they didn’t have a single, solitary user test this out before production. Baffling.

So, Invesco (IVZ) is trying to change QQQ’s structure from a unit investment trust to an open ended fund (like most ETFs). The stock fell 9% intraday in Oct when they announced they didn’t have the votes and were delaying until Dec 5, before recovering.

Begging the “Democrats would be right wing in Europe” crowd to go read a single thing about the immigration discourse in any of these countries

TIL the largest owner of veterinary clinics is Mars, Inc. Yes, that Mars 🍫

Helen Andrews, I’ll gladly say directly to your face you’re a stupid asshole. I’ll look you straight in the eye and tell you you’re a waste of oxygen. Then I’ll shove you in the locker I already stuffed Ross in.

I have really bad seasonal affective disorder (SAD!) so first day of sunset before 5 PM is one of least favorite days every year but gotta say, the vibes were immaculate today in NYC ☀️

This is wild. Thread nobody will read on our innumerate and illiterate news sources. In 2020 the GAO released a report on Medicaid and SNAP beneficiaries ***who work***. This is the source for many of the claims you see about these programs (Walmart etc) - Bernie was one who requested rept

People on here really think they’re immune to propaganda and will stay stuff like “SNAP exists because Walmart doesn’t pay a living wage.”

I am underinvested.

It’s not rational and I’m obv not saying you should feel sympathy for these people but I think most people would be absolutely shocked if they knew how much ultra wealthy people truly stress about money.

I’m the only woman in a 2x weekly meeting with 12 men in a kinda small conf room and if I leave and come back it’s so noticeable the room smells strongly of boy

Sure, why not.

So my building is switching to make us pay rent through Bilt (which I thought was kind of a disaster? Maybe just for WFC). I signed in for first time, it’s linked to my apt, it has just my name, email and cell# and the app showed all of my personal credit cards as potential payment options?!!

I have no idea what AppLovin does so I was surprised to see that despite being up 247% y/y and 1300% since Jan 2024 it’s “only” trading at 73x TTM PE and 48x forward

It’s funny that this whole website is having a super serious discourse about the ACA when it comes down to people, including an Econ reporter for the NYT?not understanding that a chart that looks like this is showing something increasing at a declining rate over time

I think the US is committing murder and lying about it with these boat strikes, but the “one fisherman” story doesn’t really add up to me.

Disclosure @ Forest Hills One of my all time fav venues (got lucky with seats to this one)

Is this the most useless Torsten chart yet? The laugh I let out when I scrolled down to “see chart below”

Interesting to see public BDC equities taking a bit of a hit (not surprising; actually much smaller than historical beta to KRE would suggest), but credit spreads tightened today

This is the kind of horrible thing where I have to say, yeah this is worse than I expected. “Ban refugees?” - yes “Charter planes to bring in white South Africans and Europeans but only if they promise they are super racist” - no, just not something that was on my radar as a possibility

Anyone else find the right surprising given rise in delinquencies?

This is a little glib but it’s pretty weird seeing so many on the left saying “why didn’t Biden act like Trump” vis a vis Gaza / Israel and uh, I’d really love to see their reaction if Biden kept tweeting stuff like “Palestinians you are DEAD there will be HELL TO PAY, all HELL WILL BREAK OUT”

It’s noticeable that the median poster here thinks of white rednecks when they think of “the South” despite a lot of Southern states having pretty high non-white populations.
