I thought The Fed was unwinding its asset sheet? Why are they buying more MBS? https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/ambs_operation_schedule

Long term rates remain low because the Fed doesn't have a sack. Inflation has been red hot for over a year now and we need a 75bps hike tomorrow just to hit 2.5%. That is insane. Look at this chart. With double digit inflation we need a 75bps hike to hit a level that will still be below historical rates by quite a bit. Of course long term rates are still low. The Fed refuses to do its job.

Is this WMT trying to soften the blow for a bad quarter? Or possibly a shot across the JPow bow to only do 50 bps?

I am old enough to remember when these were considered some of the worst jerseys in pro sports.

The Fed Watch Tool has a 75bps hike at 77.5% and 100bps at 22.5% https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html

I get that Brooklyn has to counter and try to get more. But not sure they will get a better package than Brown from another team. Phoenix - People say just wait till Ayton becomes trade eligible in the middle of the year and trade him. Problem is he has a no trade clause for the next year. So he can kill any trade to a team he doesn't like. Miami - IMO any deal has to be built around Bam. And currently it is illegal for Miami to trade Bam to Brooklyn. So not sure how that gets done. Golden State - They seem pretty serious on transitioning from their current core to their young players. I doubt they are willing to part with guys like Kuminga or Moody. Toronto is still in the mix probably. All reports are they have zero interest in trading Barnes.

You can read restaurants health inspection reports online. Not every county has theirs online but mots of the big counties are here. Kent County being a big one that doesn't participate. But I heard they are in the process of putting theirs online as well. Select your county and search. If you want to be specific put a name in. It is a bit odd because the names are the official names the business is registered in. So you could have Inc. or Corp. in the title. You can also type half names to bring up a list. Select Washtenaw County then in name type "zing" and it will bring up a list of the Zingerman properties. If you have kids their schools should also be on here. https://swordsolutions.com/inspections/

I make Cramer look competent. I would listen to this guy.

DeSantis and Florida giving $450 child credit to help fight inflation. Because nobody in Florida has ever taken an economics class I guess. I am storing 5 gallons of gasoline in my garage to lend my neighbor in case his house catches on fire.

Well, stop paying attention to them as well.

Herbert Diess announced he will be stepping down as VW CEO. Interesting to us because he was the main push at VW for Porsche and Audi to enter F1. Who knows what will happen now.

Cuban has always struck me as the ultimate "Right spot right time" type of person. Broadcast.com had revenue of $13.5M in 1999 and was sold that year to Yahoo! for over $5B. Ahhh, the dot-com bubble. Mark Cuban says this was his worst ‘Shark Tank’ investment ever: ‘Next thing you know, all of the money’s gone’
