Stanley Druckenmiller renders an unfavorable opinion of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's use of buybacks to defend against higher yields in a market that is functioning normally.
"I have spent five decades trading on a simple premise: Markets aggregate information no committee possesses, and prices are how that information reaches decision makers. The long-term Treasury yield is the most important price in the world. It is also the only fiscal disciplinarian the U.S. has left."
"Every basis point of artificial yield suppression is a subsidy to procrastination."
"Return buybacks to their stated purpose: small, scheduled, off-the-run liquidity operations announced at quarterly refundings, never off-cycle responses to yield levels. Term out the debt honestly and pay the price the market sets."
"If the 30-year must trade at 5.5% to clear, that isn’t a crisis. It is an invoice. Then do the only thing that durably lowers long-term yields: address the primary deficit."

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement:
* $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip.
* $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold.
More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close.
Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!
Rewatching Black Sails. Such an incredible series. I fear we won’t see realistic maritime cannon battles on the screen like that again.

DALIO WARNS OF “CAPITAL WARS” AGAINST U.S.
Billionaire investor Ray Dalio warned that President Trump’s policies could trigger “capital wars,” as countries and investors reduce exposure to U.S. assets.
Speaking in Davos, Dalio said rising trade tensions and fiscal deficits risk eroding trust in U.S. debt, potentially driving investors toward hard assets like gold, which he recommends as a key hedge.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. We send him off the way he sent so many of us on our way: with a farewell that isn’t an ending, but a blessing. A reward for a life worth livin'. bobweir.net/bobby/

John Harbaugh is going to be able to pick his next team.
Expect him to take the franchise with the best QB.
The #Dolphins should contact him about the GM job (wink, wink).

90th Birthday Message
On the occasion of my 90th birthday, I understand that well-wishers and friends in many places, including Tibetan communities, are gathering for celebrations. I particularly appreciate the fact that many of you are using the occasion to engage in initiatives that highlight the importance of compassion, warm-heartedness, and altruism.
I am just a simple Buddhist monk; I don’t normally engage in birthday celebrations. However, since you are organizing events focused on my birthday I wish to share some thoughts.
While it is important to work for material development, it is vital to focus on achieving peace of mind through cultivating a good heart and by being compassionate, not just toward near and dear ones, but toward everyone. Through this, you will contribute to making the world a better place.
As for myself, I will continue to focus on my commitments of promoting human values, religious harmony, drawing attention to the ancient Indian wisdom which explains the workings of mind and emotions, and Tibetan culture and heritage, which has so much potential to contribute to the world through its emphasis on peace of mind and compassion.
I develop determination and courage in my daily life through the teachings of the Buddha and Indian masters such as Shantideva, whose following aspiration I strive to uphold.
As long as space endures,
As long as sentient being remain,
Until then, may I too remain
To dispel the miseries of the world.
Thank you for using the opportunity of my birthday to cultivate peace of mind and compassion.
Tashi Deleg and with prayers,
Dalai Lama

Reject Tariffs, Restore Trade | Anti-Tariff Declaration anti-tariff.org/

For me, one of the main benefits of making some money is not having to wear a gimp suit for anybody. To each his own.

These tariffs will reduce manufacturing employment. They will reduce the competitiveness of manufacturing firms. They will raise prices. They will increase unemployment. They will likely cause a recession. They are an assault on the Constitution.

Thomas Sowell on free trade: International trade is not a favor that we do for other countries. Free trade is nothing more than allowing American consumers to seek what they want to buy wherever they can find it. Collectivizing these millions of economic decisions and controlling them all from Washington makes no more sense than other kinds of collectivization and central planning. Even for those unfamiliar with the economic arguments for the benefits of free trade, surely the history of disastrous failures of collectivism and central planning in the Soviet bloc should make us wary of government control of the economy.

Trump's treasury secretary may be seeking for a way out of the administration after concerns the tariff debacle is damaging his "credibility."

You’re going to want to read the latest post on the tariffs from my colleagues @kevincorinth and @stanveuger
It’s in the next tweet. There’s an error in the (already dumb) formula to calculate the tariffs. Even accepting the dubious assumptions behind the formula, it’s wrong.
