Quote for the Day:

The themes of the ads and the debates intertwined in ways that advantaged Clinton. In an often replayed moment from the first debate of 1992, George Bush suggested that the Democrat's Oxford-based protests against the Vietnam War discredited him as a potential commander-in-chief. Clinton parried by saying, "Your father was right to stand up to Joe McCarthy. You were wrong to attack my patriotism." In 1992, as in elections past, candidates told us what they would and would not do and also who they and their opponents were and were not.

1. End of year Tech Wreck underway

Absolutely smashed. I'm watching Micron, Intel, Alibaba, Uber. UK said to face 2 year recession, we've skirted one entirely. How is that possible? Fed is becoming Dovish, that's how. They are allowing inflation to run, and telling us they've got it under control. This is not a winning scenario. I'm beginning to realize Powell is a banker, and not an economist. Economists who study the 1970s, the Great Recession, would know this is going to end in one place because the Fed won't give the medicine of higher interest rates to protect the value of the US dollar. But in the end the Bond Market wins out. Property rights - interest payments, purchasing power - endure, but poor people will suffer from inflation forever.
