We don't have BLS data because of the shutdown but the recent jobs data from the private sector doesn't look good www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...
In the federal data void, Bank of America this week said it is seeing signs of rising unemployment and slowing job growth in its customers’ data. Private-equity company Carlyle Group, extrapolating from companies in which it owns stakes, said Tuesday that it thinks overall U.S. jobs growth slid in September from an already weak official reading in August. Goldman Sachs said its measure of labor-market tightness fell last month back to levels seen in 2015, indicating a tough landscape for job seekers. These follow a report from payroll processor ADP last week that said U.S. employers shed private-sector jobs last month.

There is actually an important divide between Speaker Johnson's perpetual liars wing of the GOP and the marks like MTG who think professional wrestling is real, and I think we're seeing that split emerge. www.splinter.com/marjorie-tay...

“[Senate Republicans] can open the government any time they want. They can use the nuclear option in the Senate. They can reopen the government. This is a bunch of drama and political theater, so I’m willing to call that out, too.”

O'Neal is pushing "The Post into video podcasting, according to people familiar with the matter, aiming to launch a show hosted by Megan McArdle next month and a flagship program in January. The marquee show, I’m told, will be helmed by O’Neal himself."

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

This doesn't necessarily reflect a Chicken Little-esque belief that the sky is falling. In fact, I'd argue that 60/20/20 recommendation expresses bearishness about the dollar and bullishness for stocks.

And gold.

Gold is having its best year since 1979, and the dollar is having its worst year since 1973.

These facts are related.

Also related is Morgan Stanley telling their clients to shift from a 60/40 stocks/bonds portfolio to a 60/20/20 stocks/bonds/gold portfolio.

If I told you this was either a chart of a shitcoin or gold, you would be crazy to say it's gold, and yet.

It's gold.
