Think about the fact that inflation was effectively killed and rates were set to come down by 2%. Then this clown comes in and does this. Inexcusable. Biggest economic policy blunder in history. Don’t let sky high stock market fool you.

The simplest explanation for higher stock prices is that the dollar has lost ~9% of its value this year (see: DXY)

It’s more than that. It’s getting cross-pumped by Wall Street and Crypto bros with AI hype as backdrop.
