Analysts talk about valuations in terms of the price versus how much money a company makes, or how much money they pay out in dividends, etc. How about price compared to how much money exists in total? It is pretty far up there.
A fitting lesson for today's world from the Mongols long ago:
"An army of donkeys led by a lion is able to defeat an army of lions led by a donkey."

We’ve spent $8 trillion in the Middle East
That’s 100 X annual federal spending on roads and bridges
Picture how great our country could be if we’d spent that $ here
Imagine how affordable groceries & housing would be if we hadn’t printed all that $

The US lost an average of 22k jobs per month over the last 3 months, the 3rd straight month with a negative 3-month moving average. This is now the 12th time we've seen this since 1950. In the 11 previous times the US economy was in a recession.

Chinese phrase: “善有善报，恶有恶报；不是不报，时辰未到” Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished; it's not that there's no retribution, but that the time hasn't come yet.
Except sometimes, it takes more than a lifetime for the wrongs to be righted.

This image of Iryna, terrified and in tears, as she realizes what has just happened to her and understands that the next few moments will be her last, tears my soul apart.
In the midst of everything that’s happening, do not forget about her.

People think that news events control what interest rates do, but much of it is predestined. The movements of gold prices provide a 20-1/2 month leading indication for long term interest rates. So a big up move in rates is coming due in November. I'm sure the media will think of some reason to explain it.

The percentage of child dead in the Ukrainian conflict is 0.3%.
Zero point three per cent.
The percentage of child dead in the Gaza conflict is 37.7%.
Thirty seven point seven per cent.
In a single statistic, there you have the difference between a war and a genocide.
