The lesson from the 73 oil shock is DONT DO THIS. The Burns fed was too accommodating and kept rates too low which made Volckers ultimate tightening that much harsher.

Basically don’t hold cash because it will be worthless after two more years of Trump. Buy any hard asset and enjoy the ride.

Defense is the one area where we are #3 and lost a war to Iran so it should be cut because nobody thinks the US can or ever again will fight a winning conventional war anywhere except South America. We are done here. The Chinese and the Russians collectively outproduce us in every facet of military production by literally 20 to 1. Russia fired more missiles in one day yesterday than the US will produce in the next 3 months. We are never winning an Eurasian land war.

the bond market is currently trading at levels which don't reflect current economic conditions. Treasury is stepping in accordingly:

"We have a big toolkit, so we'll see," he said. "Part of it is signaling here and to show that we believe that the yields don't reflect the underlying fundamentals."

Bessent also characterized liquidity for the 30-year bond as "very poor," providing another incentive for Treasury to intervene in what normally is a robust market.

Best part is -- the intervention failed after just 1 day. Rates are up. Its destroyed confidence and now they face an upcoming failed auction. Only two countries are seeing failed auctions -- the US and Russia. Russia because they are fighting a shooting war and cant get buyers at even 16.5% and the US because we have an idiot in charge.

unless the Fed steps in right here, right now, to provide emergency relief to a nation at war with Iran choking the free world of oil, there will be a market crash-- book it
