Leveraged ETFs are a lot more dangerous to hold long term than most people realize, they are even worse than options.
I know that sounds crazy. Options have expiration dates. Leveraged ETFs don’t. But that’s exactly why people can get trapped. Most leveraged ETFs reset their exposure every single day.

Private credit lenders are quietly charging more to hold the loans nobody wants
Private credit's weakest borrowers are starting to crack. When a company is too strained to pay interest in cash, it tacks the interest onto the loan instead. That is PIK, and lenders charge extra for it because only the shakiest borrowers need it. Now look at the split. Yields… pic.twitter.com/OuwXX6zfnM — Kurt S. Altrichter, CRPS® … Read more
AI output is getting cheaper while the machines needed to produce it keep getting more expensive
The $7.5 trillion argument says the AI boom isn’t anywhere near the historical spending limit yet. Fine. But I think the more interesting problem is happening underneath that number.

Someone in Latvia is paying people to make Americans angry online
This is bigger than AI. The scary part is how cheap this has become. You don’t need a TV network. You don’t need a newspaper. You don’t even need a famous influencer. You can get a script written with AI, pay somebody to perform it, put it on a bunch of accounts and let the … Read more

Trump gets a major immigration win but it is not the unlimited deportation power social media is claiming
Trump now has more room to use this law against alleged gang members. That means you’re probably going to see more deportations, more people being classified as gang members and a lot more fights over who actually qualifies. And that’s where this gets nasty. Because the government can say someone is Tren de Aragua. The … Read more
This Just Happened At Target… And Americans Are DONE.
Target used to be the fun store. Now shoppers are pulling their phones out in the aisles – and what they are filming is not fun at all. A $130 trip with $35 of charges for items that were never in the cart. A camera order that showed up as a 20-pound dumbbell. An $86 … Read more

She had already killed one person and was still coming at cops with knives yet influencers blame cops for shooting her
If someone already killed a person, is holding knives, ignores commands and keeps coming after officers after multiple Tasers fail, I’m not sure what people expect the cops to do. Wait until somebody else gets stabbed? “She killed two people” as a defense for police killing her is hilarious lmao. You can admit they just … Read more
