Let's look at how the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) performed after the original Sputnik moment in 1957.
- Next Day (October 5, 1957): The DJIA closed at 442.91, down 1.86% from the previous day's close.
- One Year Later (October 4, 1958): The DJIA closed at 504.77, up 14.1% from the previous year's close.
- Three Years Later (October 4, 1960): The DJIA closed at 576.93, up 30.5% from the Sputnik launch date.
If anything, it was a wake-up call that ultimately drove American progress and innovations. Let's see if the pattern will continue this time around.

Ask anyone what a stock is expected to do following such a miss and 9 out of 10 will say to tumble. And yet, price action is neutral to up post earnings.
A lonely voice will say - it depends. Indeed. Markets trade on expectations.

Дня не проходит чтоб магическое слово дедолларизация (de-dollarization) не всплыло в ленте новостей. Довольно популярная нынче тема. Даже статья на вики имеется. Да что там, этой теме уже более 50ти лет. Она периодически поднимается из недр очередной волной…
Trump made an error in judgment by publicly opposing and threatening the creation of the BRICS common currency. A clever strategy would be to encourage the formation of this chimera and watch it fail. If that's twisted then ignoring these political whims entirely would be a pragmatic course of action. It would've been a dead-on-arrival anyway. Nothing strengthens the USD more than the collapse of a competing currency regime.
Instead, our easily triggered champion of US nationalism took the bait and provided credibility to the idea. Why would Trump fiercely oppose it had it not been a serious threat, a BRICS sympathizer would reason. Furthermore, this act indirectly supports incumbent politicians whose currency plans have vaporized. They could now rally local support in case the power grip will loosen. Nothing unites people more behind the ruling elites than external threats.
Escalatory nationalism begets more nationalism elsewhere. I hope these lessons were learned in the 20th century.

В августе 2024 я обращал внимание на статью, отображающую серьёзные различия между недооценкой американцами социально-экономических явлений и реальным положением вещей. Так, например, респонденты оценили кол-во трансгендеров в обществе в 21%, против 1% в реальности. 27% - оценка кол-ва мусульман, против 1% в реальности.
После победы Трампа нужно признать, что его команда мастерски сыграла на подобных искажениях в головах обывателей. Легко манипулировать человеком, не владеющим фактами и питающимся личными иллюзиями.
В этом свете очень показательна данная картинка, отражающая идеальное, оценочное и реальное распределение богатств в США.

Amateurs discuss Trump's Executive Orders. Pros await judges' decisions. How many of those initiatives will die due to lack of funding is a bonus question.

Trump's record number of executive orders are testing the limits of presidential power
Before his inauguration, President Donald Trump vowed to sign 100 executive orders on his first day in office. While executive orders have sometimes, controversially, been used as a last resort after a president is unable to garner legislative support to…

In a recent interview, Mark Rubio eloquently signaled a pivot from an ideological vector in geopolitics towards realpolitik. I'm consciously optimistic, for I never respected neoliberal motifs for international strategy.

How about this metric? If most of a household's wealth is linked to its primary residence, namely housing equity, then it's middle class or lower. Otherwise, it's upper-middle class and beyond.
