This doesn't bode well.
And, Mariadeliz, I know a guy that will gladly take you to Puerto Rico. Right @RxCowboy?
I suspect that people are chasing yield because of inflation. When money market accounts were paying 1% and inflation was 2%, people got excited to get a safe 4%. Now that inflation is killing, 4% sort of sucks. But, with more defaults, again, this could get ugly.

I’ve been noticing that nearly everything in the grocery store now is at least $5. I paid $7 yesterday for a protein bar and a Mt Dew Zero.
The rate of inflation has slowed, but that means prices are still increasing.
Is the $1.3 billion Powerball lottery worth playing? An MIT math professor weighs in.
At what point does the jackpot become so big that the math actually starts working in your favor?

Fox Business: Disappointing jobs data, only 54,000 private sector jobs added, and look at this, the yield on the 10-year treasury below 4.2%. The 2-year down around 3.61%, yields down.

Reporter: Trump promised to cut electricity prices in half. New data is showing that prices are actually surging. Looking at electricity prices over the last year, up 5.5%. That's basically double the overall inflation rate. This is the exact opposite of what Trump argued would happen if he got elected

Musk should get a pay cut for not keeping up with the leading Chinese car company that is putting out electric cars that charge up in as little as 5 minutes.
Effing obscene.
I feel like somehow hes going to screw them over royally. I don't know why, its just you give a Bond villian that kind of money and they do Bond villian things.
I wonder what they are doing in South Dakota? Unemployment under 2% doesn’t seem possible.
Its probably not surprise that DC has the highest unemployment since the federal government has shed a ton if jobs since January.

Interesting that South Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate even though its minimum wage is $11.50. In Nebraska, it's $13.50 to go up to $15 in Jan. 2026. The unemployment rate there is 3.0%, slightly lower than Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Republicans combined with their donor the Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce will be telling voters in June to vote NO on raising the min. wage because it will cause employers to lay off workers. That's BS. I'll be voting YES! It will be interesting to see the endless around the clock BS TV ads they come up to tell voters to vote NO!
