Free dumb.
Only in America (and also most other places on earth)
Yields are spiking, not good considering inflation has barely even hit yet. And considering the Fed can’t raise rates more than a little bit without crashing the entire system, unlike back in the 70s.
Uh oh, real yields (bond yield rate - real inflation) are actually negative now. That is… bullish, very bullish indeed ![]()
Weimar stonk market anyone?

Year over year average price increases, mid 2025 - 2026:
Gas, 40%
Electric bill, 10%
Gold, 35%
S&P 500, 27%
Car insurance, 12%
Home insurance, 10%
Health insurance, 13%
But food, cars, homes, rent and average consumer debt are all supposedly under 5%. Not sure if I believe that. In any case, real treasury yields at this point are likely nowhere near 5%, if they are even still above zero.
The stock market is becoming a useless indicator of anything anymore.
The only thing it indicates anymore is inflation soon to be hyperinflation I think.

My favorite calculation of inflation is comparing a grocery bill from 2006 to one in 2026. It was quite telling on price inflation.

If anyone is considering a tipple on future tech:
Optical storage / long term storage - 3M, Imation, Verbatim etc.
Ternary / analogue computing - Dunno.
Anything that simplifies the soup (HTTP) - Dunno
Pay to win. Pay to evade. Get out of jail free.
It’s rotten to the core.
