Absolute comedy that Japan has come out and denied *every* single part of the Truth Social Trade Deal. Just a complete circus.

🚨 Nonfarm payroll gains were sharply revised down: May's total dropped from 144,000 to 19,000, and June's from 147,000 to 14,000—a combined cut of 258,000 jobs.

Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the debt just officially passed the $37 trillion mark.

July PPI soared 0.9% MoM, far in excess of the +0.2% that had been expected. It was the biggest jump since June 2022, sending YoY PPI up 3.3%, the highest since Feb. A CPI spike is next. So much for rate cuts. I wonder who Trump will fire for rigging the PPI to make him look bad.

The U.S. Govt. taking a 10% stake in $INTC is not only unconstitutional, it’s a bad idea. Trump wasn’t hired to run a hedge fund. This is a very bad precedent to set, as it moves our nation further away from free-market capitalism. Had Biden done this, Republicans would be livid.

The CHIPS Act did not authorize the U.S. government to acquire stock in private corporations.

70% of wealth "created" was due to manipulation of interest rates Not good ideas Not hard work

Friendly reminder as we discuss loan fraud that Bill Pulte - the heir of a billionaire family - attested under oath that his Private Equity company (Pulte Capital) would go bankrupt without a $50k PPP loan he never paid back. Pulte

Let's be honest, firing Lisa Cook has nothing to do with mortgage fraud. Don't close your eyes to what's obvious. Trump went looking for dirt, and this is what he dug up. Trump wants to stack the Fed, so he found a pretense to replace a member who he believes stands in his way.

Every company listed below has suspicious revenue recognition. The actual chart with ALL the give-and-take deals would be unreadable. The future will regard this a picture of fraud, not a flywheel. True end demand is ridiculously small. Almost all customers are funded by their

Bill Ackman getting bitchslapped by Ronald Reagan’s budget director was not something I had on my 2026 bingo card. Legendary

Silver bootie $SI_F Today nearly 2years of world production traded on world exchanges More than 1.5 billion ounces The last time such a proportion traded was Apr 25, the day of the 2011 top I called that top on Apr 24, 2011 here: peterlbrandt.com/how-do-you-spe… Not this time though???

Powell basically said that the recent jump in gold is irrelevant to Fed policy. But when Greenspan was Chair he said that he watched gold closely as it was the best indicator of whether interest rates were too low or too high. How can a once-critical metric no longer be relevant?
