@davidgerard well the flight of investors from the impending AI crash is already bringing down the yield on US Treasuries. Isn't that what he wanted?

@marjolica @davidgerard Trying to de-correlate from this in any asset class is almost impossible, though I've tried my best with what I have in my rather meagre private pension pot.
@bms @marjolica i predict an environment in which all correlations go to 1
@davidgerard i understand the sentiment, i very much share it. yet, i wonder, if even he can affect the dollar. dollar has not been within the influence of the fed for roughly 70 years. it is truly global to an extent that no human can truly comprehend. after some point such mechanics start to exhibit their own dynamics.
@fractalolivia as the fed discovered in 2008 when they had to bail out dollar-denominated entities in other countries who had never touched an actual USD
@davidgerard AAPL is at a high. I guess Tim Apple’s fabian strategy paid off.
Now if only they could bring back the deterministic Xcode helpers they replaced with “ask whichever vibecoding chatbot you have an account with”
