Trump bashes Powell causes the markets to fall and then blames Powell for the mess and cites this as the reason Powell has to go. Sick. Does he think we don’t see? He hopes Fox news explains how great this is.

Who knew ending a war could take more than day? #USpol apnews.com/article/trum...

Investors don't trust Trump not to fire Powell. Buckle up.

If you want the latest lowdown… with a great context of history.. you can’t go wrong here with HCR… she knows her stuff

“Since every smart person is against him on [his beloved tariffs], he’s now decided that he’s the only smart one. He’s also delving so deep into hyperbole that he sounds like a failed caricature of himself.”

Okay, jokes aside... On a more serious note: 🧵

New in PN: RFK Jr. is wrong about autism "The Trump administration's attack on difference, the idea that people who are different are a tragedy and a burden and that they have nothing to contribute — that is fascism. And it is a danger to almost everyone."

The US dollar is generally used in about 48-58 percent of interantional payments and trade invoicing for the last ten years. It's the drop in foreign reserves that's worrying. Its share of foreign reserves dropped from over 70% in 2000 to around 59% now. #EconSky

Watch the 4800 to 4950 zone for the S&P 500 Index as a violation of this range through the off-season for stocks would likely indicate that the economy is in recession. equityclock.com/2025/04/17/s... #ES #SPX #SP500 #EconSky #FinSky #TargetHit

This is one of the more intelligent and readable discussions of the fundamental problems with Trumps tariffs. (You could have figured this out by talking to anyone with manufacturing experience)…

An interesting read.

That we are even having this discussion is so disturbing. Do MAGA voters realize this is a real possibility for THEM TOO?!?

A must read, particularly for those who think moving back manufacturing would be easy, after years of relocalizing abroad. And it applies to many advanced economies, not just US
