The stonk market is pricing in a dovish Powell replacement in the next year. Either way, no-one is talking about a rate increase. Falling wages are the wheel which is feeding all optimism.
All that can be gleamed, given the trump bill passing today, is Doug Kass being a democrat.
The yahoo comments never fail to remind lions how dependant on ZIRP the stonk market is. Most of these guys are multimillionares in stonk & they're not having any talk of hawkishness.

Another Elon recommendation & another horrendous movie. The novelty ended at 32 minutes & then lions were in 2x playback. Another all male cast, typical for Elon. Lions just never were excited about vietnam war epics. Jungles get monotonous fast. Until then, it looks real good for its time. Colors in Kodak emulsion just popped. It was another case of deja vu. Surely young lion saw bits of it on basic cable.
Wouldn't be surprised if that scene used the real movie crew.
Reviewing the IMDB, it's just amazing how many stars were in it but totally concealed. Concealing the stars doesn't work for lions. It would be so much better if they looked like themselves. It's obviously about the money. The likenesses cost more so they couldn't all be in the movie in their own likenesses.
The mogul was Tom Cruise but only his nose was recognizable.

The early 2000's abound, especially how everything being promoted in that era was on its way out. Video conferencing gear that never worked, printed physical media taking 1 last ghasp, Tivo, low definition tape camcorders, dumb blackberry phones, ipods, early satellite phones that never worked, apple cinema displays that couldn't display 1920x1080, tower PC's trying to resurrect the PC boom with furniture stands. It was a transition decade.
It reminded lions of how amazing it was anyone survived that decade, given all the misguided needs. That was the last time there was such a prominence of must have gadgets & physical stuff. Now there's just scrolling & subscribing. Everyone wants to subscribe to something. Adobe subscriptions, gootuber subscriptions, AI subscriptions, member subscriptions are the new gadgets.
It brought back the memory of being fascinated with 30" displays, seeing the apple cinema display for the 1st time, imagining what it would be like to have something like that at home. After growing up with only B&W monitors & witnessing the fall of CRT prices, the movement of all media to the confuser, young lion prided himself on having a top tier display. 1/2 his life was spent with only a monochrome PC & commodore.
Like everything in that decade, it was half baked. The 2560x1600 displays couldn't show 1920x1080 without adding blur.
The NBC building loomed large, as the mogul's office. The lion kingdom parked there once on race day. All the world's copyright notices came from there.
They did a job with that prosthetic paw.
