Those moments when great men reveal themselves as such, and dare us to shrug them off, or underestimate the heights to which their considerable talents will one day beckon them to reach. https://twitter.com/FreeBeacon/status/1077923233427607558

Krispy Wafer posted:The market hates uncertainty and today another admin official came out to say Trump had no intention on firing Powell, so that was all it took to boost confidence. I don't think it's a dead cat bounce. I don't buy "oh the markets think he is stable now." Trump has currently shut down the government over something completely stupid and moronic, has set fire to all of our current trade policies and deals, and his Cabinet is about 2 steps away from being entirely staffed by Mick Mulvaney. This is a bounce from Christmas sales in general. You would have to be on some pretty loving good drugs to ever think anyone got through to Trump at this point, and that "this time, things will be stable!"

Is it just me or would you describe that man's face as "punchable"? Also the fact that trump had them dress up (lol@all the loving gear options) straight into ruining opsec for some seals is just.. perfect. I'm reminded of the "life finds a way" meme, but instead of life finding a way to gently caress, it is "trump finds a way" (to gently caress it up more).

Pretty much that (solid holiday sales news) and post-dip opportunist trading. The gain itself may be a big number, but the volume behind it is kinda meh. That can mean that the "floor" isn't very stable and one tweet or somewhat negative news can trigger the plunge again....or it could be a legit rally. Not gonna hold my breath on the latter though.

No one is saying he's stable. The market has lost thousands of points because he doesn't know how to do a trade war. But Monday's drop was because he threatened to fire Powell. That's a separate disaster all Trump's own making that happened over the weekend and had time to gestate and fester until Christmas Eve morning. Today's comeback was because the 'market' no longer thinks Trump will fire the Fed Chairman. If he comes back with a tweet about how he can fire whoever he wants, then the market will poo poo itself again. The trade war is also going to be a continued drag. But at some point everything stabilizes because the economy is still running smoothly regardless of what Trump says or does.

Inferior Third Season posted:There is nothing magical about water that its transition points should be the basis of a temperature scale. The most common use for temperature is to know how the air will feel for a human. 0-100 in Fahrenheit is an extremely convenient "uncomfortably cold" to "uncomfortably hot". For people who live in some specific climates. There are entire continents that never reach 0F in some years.

0 and 100 should be based on the minimal and maximal temperatures a human could possible survive 1 hour naked in. And every year we have a grand competition to see if we need to reset the scale.
