@NickTimiraos Clarida who at a private dinner table said Fed couldn’t go fast in raising rates when rates were still 1% and now prefers to hike into a regional banking crisis to pretend everything is well…. ChatGPT could add more value

Let’s say FDIC increases the non-interest bearing guarantee threshold from $250k to $5mm as the insightful @BobEUnlimited proposes. FDIC argues the deposit insurance funds consiste of premiums already paid by insured banks and interest earnings on its investment portfolio of US

@GOPLeader @HouseGOP I don’t care who made the strong economy. I care about the future economy - the strong economy of today was supported by a trillion plus hole in the deficit.. in the future, if you slowdown with these typs of deficits, it will feel worse.. so I care about forward!!!

@DsrPrivate I think is rather simple analysis Last QRA, term premium was expanding in a vicious way with markets extrapolating a number of narratives with questionable persistence resulting in higher yields and rapidly tighter FCI. If Jan QRA were today is the opposite in term premia

So if the sectors that are hiring at rapid pace and keeping NFP elevated are not exhibiting wage pressure, why are we still talking about a very tight labor market? One has to wonder the @federalreserve with its armies of PhD can handle a nuance analysis beyond the headline NFP

@BobEUnlimited @ErikHane4 Correct- are they profitable thou? What’s the average funding cost of regionals? Why haven’t regionals raise deposit betas above 60%? Not a credit crisis - rather the biz model is being challenged with current monetary policy mix..

outright purchase continue at a briskly pace, covid loans retirement have more than offset these (hence monetary base contraction) From here we are likely going to see further expansion of the monetary base as long as BOJ keeps buying JGBs💀 2/2

@DsrPrivate Behavioral crowding is the easiest to bet against and produces the largest alpha for the contrarian. When the argument is no catalyst can derail a year end chase, is worth to examine the catalyst pipeline, because while year end chase tend to happen often, I argue it already

@DsrPrivate What I love about the game is there is always another day/month/quarter as long as one is humble to acknowledge what went wrong (and right), reset and do it all over again One of the most valuable lessons I carry with me that I learn from George Soros, was to be humble

@boazweinstein Down less than -2%. The real test is when European credit and US regionals open…. The fact the bonds are flattish is telling to me. No major unwind of Fed easing “premia”

ChatGPT3.5 to the Low U3 is a problem for the Fed crowd… “A vertical labor supply curve implies that changes in the unemployment rate have no effect on the wage rate, as workers are not willing to adjust their labor supply in response to changes in wages. This means that there

Confused about why job openings and wage growth have been falling, and yet employment has managed to hold up? Don’t be. This is exactly what you would expect if the labor supply curve were vertical.

@kjtc1979 @OversightDems @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer That’s sensible, however the longer they sit tight the more the idea of an illegitimate election percolate across society. By now Biden will start his presidency with half of this country disapproving him just because the precedent we are letting Republicans establish
