“Nothing Is Rational Anymore”
*“Nothing Is Rational Anymore”* by Brian Maher "The stairs up… and the elevator down. Here you have the stock market’s general rate of travel, depending upon its direction of travel.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ascended the staircase to 36,952 by Jan. 5 - just prior to abandoning it for mechanical, accelerated transport.

Biden's Ukraine blunder
National Review: President Biden rounded out his first year in office inadvertently encouraging a Russian invasion of Ukraine. His now-infamous comment that the Western response to an invasion would depend on whether “it’s a minor incursion” was remarkably, disturbingly candid, demonstrating that Washington and the West could well tolerate a limited Russian attack. Biden also said another unstated assumption out loud: that there’s no transatlantic unity on how to respond to the Russian military buildup. Effectively, he telegraphed to the Kremlin that the U.S. response to an invas... read more
