FWIW: For the past week or so the great preponderance of financial news in the Business Section of the WSJ have been negative. Major layoffs, store closings, poor performance, failure to meet analyst expectations, bankruptcies.
Just sayin'...

"It's just a think-tank report that no one commissioned or endorsed."
And that did, and still does, employ a group of many of the most radical members of the former Trump administration. They realize that it's not being well received, and are atte…
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't this country's founders worried about exactly this type of situation? And now we have a Trumpian "supreme" court that's aiding and abetting. Serious trouble here, folks.
@Graust- Yes sir, thank you very much. Overtly political rants have absolutely no place in the financial sections of MFO. The Off-Topic arena is the proper place for that sort of thing... a concept that only one or two posters seem to have a problem…
Personally, I have no problem with the process. Every presidential election reflects to some degree people's innermost feelings regarding a spectrum of circumstances- the perceived character and personality of a candidate, the degree of experience i…
Yes, all of this is very interesting, and also very convenient for Microsoft: "If the EU would only leave us alone everything would be fine". Unfortunately the track record strongly suggests that is one of those pesky "untrue facts". The original cl…
"supposed to be impartial" ain't quite the same thing as "are impartial".
All along Cannon has done everything that she could to string this hearing out and give Trump as much delay as possible, hoping that he will be reelected and then shut down t…
"I am guessing all or most of that revenue from uninvested cash goes straight to the bottom line."
Well, let's think about that for a minute. If that's true, then:
• Schwab's "bottom line" must be impressively better than it's competitors. or mayb…
"Landlords have an incentive to come up with inflated building profits so that they can land bigger loans. But lenders also often have an incentive to accept these inflated numbers, especially if they plan to repackage the loan and sell it off to in…
" in 2023 Schwab made 50% of their revenue from interest on uninvested cash"
Stop right there. No need to say anything more. If anyone thinks that any business can give up 50% of their revenue from one source without compensating by redistributing…
The “Rule of Law” concept which has been the standard of U.S. law until now has just been replaced by a new “Rule of Whatever the Supreme Court Says the Law is Today” concept. It looks as if the present majority of the “supremes” wants to defenestra…
We are screwed. Well and truly screwed. Thanks to the "supreme" court the United States is no longer the democracy that it has been since it's birth... that chapter is now closed. The next chapter is likely similar to many of those "well run" "finan…
"most market forecast models are completely useless...that is, there is zero predictive validity in them."
(And now, my market forecast model: "large cap value is the coming sweet spot.")
H'mmm .... There would seem to be some sort of disconnect …
The "Supreme" court has just greased the skids to third-world status for the United States. Trump and his minions will just love this. Clearing the swamp, was it?
