I see CPI dropping tomorrow…
PPI dropping Wednesday…along with retail sales.
Can all that drive the market up, even with a Moody downgrade?…
 
At this point, most eyes should be looking at Congress. If the government shuts down, we are looking at some serious pain in the coming weeks and months. That would likely be enough to keep the FED from raising rates and could lead to things breaking. Otherwise, we keep holding rates high waiting for things to break without government shutdowns.

these government shutdowns NEVER work. It will most certainly lead to the halt of rate hikes as it will slow the economy.

I read just read this, and its funny and true:

After the most aggressive campaign of hikes in a generation, people are starting to mention that the first reductions usually don’t come that long after the last increase. As Louis-Vincent Gave from Gavekal Research put it in a note Tuesday: “Rate hikes are like tequila shots: one never knows when one’s had enough until one’s had too much.”

This OpenAI drama is crazy. For the board to do that (including one of the founders and literal head of the entire research - Ilya), I feel like this is a case of them having a major breakthrough, and the people representing the non-profit side that OpenAI was started for were in serious disagreement with the for-profit side that is Sam Altman/Brockman

But Microsoft announcing that Altman/Brockman will basically joing them to run their own basically deepmind, is a MAJOR win for Microsoft. I think they’ll likely take up to half the top talent from OpenAI with them. And they’ll probably have a legit gpt4 competitor within 6 months given just how much Microsoft will be giving them. Basically gunna have a black check and access to a shut load of compute immediately

I think Microsoft just lucked into an even better situation than when they were partnered with Open AI because that had limits. Now they get both!

I think this is a MAJOR W for Microsoft.

I hate when porsters write "I told you so" posts, so go ahead and hate on me, but I told ya ESG was pure Wall Street marketing

  • Wall Street rushed to embrace sustainable investing just a few years ago. Now it is quietly closing funds or scrubbing their names after disappointing returns that have investors cashing out billions. The about-face comes after tightened regulatory oversight, higher interest rates that have slammed clean-energy stocks and a backlash that has made environmental, social and corporate-governance investing a political target. The third quarter was the first time more sustainable funds liquidated or removed ESG criteria from their investment practices than were added, according to Morningstar. That is a reversal from not that long ago, when companies were rebranding faltering funds to cash in on the billions of dollars flowing into sustainable investment products. The retreat comes after investors withdrew more than $14 billion from sustainable funds this year, leaving them with $299 billion, The WSJ reports.

The only thing that makes sense with ESG is the G. And the OpenAI clown show shows that.

The E can make some sense - if all else is pretty equal. Like if you can choose between two things that are similar, I’d prefer things done in an environmentally friendly way - up to a point. Some people take **** too far though.

The S is pure stupidity pretty much.

The E is expensive, and only ****es people off, I dont see it being financially feasible for at least a decade. I agree on he G, and its whats paid the least attention to.
