I disagree AND hope I am wrong. This self induced black (*****) swan destruction of the economy is just getting started. It could easily be as bad or worse than the super recession and associated 30% schedule reduction. I think we’ll absolutely see not only displacements, but “what’s a SIL’s” and early outs…. And that’s the best case scenario. We’ll learn more soon…. And like I said…. I HOPE I am wrong. Less & less time to recover from this shizzle before retirement….

Stolen from an old friend who is a MBA and the CEO of a moderate-sized wealth management corporation. And, he is no fan of the current administration.
“The US has the 13th LOWEST Exports-to-GDP ratio in the world, and the 5th LOWEST Imports-to-GDP ratio in the world. The US is the most economically independent nation in the G20.
When it comes to trade, other countries need the US a helluvalot more than we need them. So no, the sky is not falling, even if the market is.”

I just think everyone needs to take a breath. Seriously.

Like I said, I’ll be HAPPY to be wrong. 1,000 off the top and a 10% LOA haircut to keep the bottom 10% on the list would be fine with me. Maybe the US Senate will grow a pair and stop the train wreck. Not holding my breath. I think it’ll take some serious pain & mid-terms to stop the insanity.
