A huge setback that would only require that regulators watch a 19-minute Mark Rober video and read this week’s Bloomberg report to immediately implement.

Unreal. It is not going to be difficult for her attorneys to find an expert witness.

June futures, lol

Really need him to start adding “thank you for your attention to this matter!” to the tweets.

One month to July 4th -- concerned that with tariff impacts, we may be forced to endure paltry buy-1-get-3-free deals this year.

Every deal can look cheap, provided you make the comp a stock with a top percentile valuation. Like saying a guy isn’t tall because “hey, look at Manute Bol”

This is the era of “…what it's signaling is going to be different from a typical…” Seemingly applies to nearly every data point these days.

Minority Report, but for books.

The TACO trade was really predicated on everyone following Fight Club rules. Not a great development. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/b...

Sunday night professional me hates Friday afternoon professional me with the consistency of an atomic clock.

Walmart, re: margins, on Thursday’s earnings call: “We're committed to growing profit faster than sales. There isn't anything about this quarter or anything about this coming year that shakes our confidence about growing profit faster than sales over the term of our long-range plan.”

The December 2021 SEP projected about 75bps of hikes in 2022. Actual hikes in 2022 were 425bps. Views and actions will always change with the data. Get rid of the SEP.

Saying you can’t guide for the current quarter while maintaining the full year view. The manifesting approach to guidance.

We’ve rapidly progressed from “EOs are actually just fancy tweets” to “EOs are coins tossed in a wishing well”
