Pretty sure it has more to do with me purchasing some yesterday. What I’m willing to loose/spend for a lil dopamine. Better than sports tho.

Paulson sounds comfortable holding policy “slightly restrictive.” That suggests the bar for near-term cuts remains high unless labor data weakens meaningfully. So I’m not sure we want another rate cut.

I’d argue the way SVB bought long duration treasuries and very little short term was their fault. It’s like someone made the purchase in a Starbucks line from their Robinhood app. (that’s how I make most of my bad trades anyway)

I just put this in ChatGPT. It got long winded, but number 2 was T brain’s first question in danger is not “Am I safe?”
It’s “Is everyone else reacting?”
Humans are deeply social threat-assessors.

We got Nex Playground. Keeps kids a little active, and isn’t overly stimulating. And not too expensive either

I thought Saturday was Sunday and was getting excited for work on Monday. Only to be let down at 11:30am MST when I checked my Fantasy Football scores.

Not sure what Lennar CEO is thinking. Admin demonstrated they aren’t serious when they floated that 50 year mortgage.

Lennar needs to say the quiet part: remove tariffs.Taxes on lumber, steel, and appliances raise build costs. Wealthy buyers absorb it. First-time buyers can’t. That’s why luxury housing is booming while entry-level homes disappear in metro Phoenix.

Giving up a sub-3% mortgage isn’t ideal, but letting families carry some of that value to their next home could actually fix mobility + supply issues.
It’d require Congress + major regulatory work. Hard, but doable.
