I was at the depths of my...unwellness, but it's funny to see how I was still hopeful. > I've been trying to stop drinking and gambling and my new AA sponsor keeps using a phrase I'd never heard normal people use before: "Well, we all have calls and puts on certain situations," and the poor guy doesn't know it triggers my gambling habits. But he's right. Just probably not in the way he means. > > I do have calls and puts on every situation. I'm trying to squeeze and *strangle* every ounce of wet joy out of this stone. I seek disaster and euphoria in everything I do. My failure, my disaster, my purgatory is: plateau, samesies, indifference, nothing. I want all of life to be extremes. Up or down. > > I almost died in a car accident in February, but I have my second child coming August. That's a fucking strangle. Looking Death in his stupid fucking inevitable face and saying I'll buy myself at the low (I had dry powder on the side)--then living with a stent in my aorta I could barely afford--*then* buying more stock in my genome that is at best toxic sentient meat floating through space during the sixth great mass extinction, because I know that baby will live a good life. I'm going to feed him tomatoes I grow and show him the moon and kiss his bloody knees and argue with his mother and let him buy every book he ever wants. > > Strangle life, friends. Win when it dips, and fucking win when it rallies. Because it's going to fucking dip. But, I swear to you, it's going to rally.

Think about it this way.... Russian oil is more or less out of the equation.... Summer Blends will start shipping out which is more expensive than Winter Blends (Winter blend is cheaper to produce hence lower prices) Global demand in the SUMMER will be.... you guessed it HIGH! Covid is "over" and traveling restrictions are more or less GONE. So people will be traveling a CRAP TON more. Sure global recession blah blah blah, but people will either fly or fill up their MEGA suv and start driving to Florida etc.... Probably the First REAL summer that covid restrictions and shots are done.... So if the house of Saud is like "we gonna pump less" that makes the overall global supply lower... when demand is supposed to be higher.... if earnings is concerned think about where we'll be now during earnings 2nd quarter, but earnings 3rd quarter after we see the summer usage go. Take into consideration earnings for AA, UAL, and DAL and see what they say about oil prices etc.... Anywho do your DD and check out both the Saudi Sovereign Fund and the Norweigen Sovereign fund see how they balance and while you're at it blackrock as well. ​ CMBS

Walmart uses Spark for their ordering/soon to be EV paid drivers at some point. They bought DDI so they kinda have their own delivery service too. Believe it or not Advanced Auto is also in this service, but nothing else around me yet just Sams, Walmart and AA. Hyvee is delivering/pickup. Target has a nice pick up system/used doordash for deliveries last I checked. They’ll own the delivery market and probably find out they make good money having the service of delivering groceries

The only thing makes Costco viable is access to bulk food with cheaper prices. In my 10 years, none a single tech bought from Costco due to overpricing of their merchandise. The only thing I found cheap, food, water filter, AA, AAA batteries, and one time discount gaming chair.

I think that we are talking about different things. What i meant by saying that trading is better than poker, is that you don't have to "pay to wait". When trading options/shares/futures/everything, you can just wait for a very good news/set up/whatever and take the trade ONLY when you have high probability of success. If you do this with poker, aka waiting for pocket AA/KK/QQ, you are going to be broke because of blinds/antes. Hope that now the concept is more clear

>I don't trust them even a tiny bit after 08 and their ratings back then. I find these kinds of arrogant posts annoying. You watched "The Big Short". Awesome. And apparently that's the only thing you know about credit rating agencies. They issue tens of thousands of credit ratings per year (˜30,000 most years). Statistically, they are *extremely* accurate, with AAA defaulting less than AA, AA defaulting less than A, etc. Over tens of thousands of issues each year. So yeah, all three fucked up rating certain mortgage related securities in 2008. Probably everyone on the sub has seen the same movie. Don't presume that means you know *anything* about CRAs.

Mexican bonds are rated as higher risk than US, with BBB or equivalent ratings. http://www.worldgovernmentbonds.com/credit-rating/mexico/ AAA is the best, followed by AA, A and BBB, and so on down the line. BBB is not 'junk bond' status, but it is the lowest bracket of investment-grade debt. Junk starts at BB, which is a notch below BBB. more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_credit_rating TL;DR BBB means everything is OK now, but the bond issuer is on potentially shaky ground

There are sectors that rely on US gov funding like defense/healthcare, but more so it is the stability and status of the US, us debt, and us dollar. The sell off in 2011 was fueled by downgrading us debt to AA instead of AAA, seen as a sign of instability and weakness.

A US default would be the economic equivalent of Nuclear Winter. So, U should probably invest in underground bunkers and survival kits.... **What Happened The Last Time Congress Nearly Caused The US To Default On Its Debt In 2011** The United States faced a significant fiscal crisis in 2011 when Congress came close to causing a default on the country's debt. Background – The debt ceiling is a legal limit on the amount of money that the United States government can borrow to finance its operations and pay its obligations. It is set by Congress and requires periodic approval to be raised. Here's a summary of what happened: **• Debt Limit Reached:** In May 2011, the United States reached its debt ceiling of $14.3 trillion. The Treasury Department began implementing extraordinary measures to prevent default. **• Political Deadlock**: The debate over raising the debt ceiling became highly contentious. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives demanded significant spending cuts in exchange for raising the limit, while the Democratic-controlled Senate and President Barack Obama called for a "clean" increase without any policy conditions. **Impact:** The prolonged and contentious negotiations surrounding the debt ceiling debate had several consequences: **1. Credit Downgrade:** In August 2011, the credit rating agency Standard & Poor's downgraded the United States' credit rating from AAA (the highest) to AA+. It cited concerns about the political climate and the government's ability to manage its debt. **2. Market Volatility:** The uncertainty surrounding the debt ceiling debate led to increased market volatility and a decline in stock prices. Investors were concerned about the potential for a default and the impact it could have on the global economy. **3. Economic Confidence:** The prolonged uncertainty and the potential for default had a negative impact on consumer and business confidence. This, in turn, could have adverse effects on economic growth and job creation. Lessons Learned: The 2011 debt ceiling crisis highlighted the potential risks and consequences of using the debt ceiling as a political bargaining chip. It demonstrated the need for responsible and timely action by Congress to ensure the stability of the U.S. economy and avoid unnecessary market disruptions. Since then, there have been subsequent debt ceiling debates, but Congress has managed to raise the limit without causing a default.

Ok hear me out. We buy a bunch of short positions and create fake verified credit rating agencies and pay for a 1 month subscription (can cancel shortly thereafter and say you card was stolen so you can use that extra case to leverage yourself to the tits in shorts). From there every single fake verified Twitter account will post (U.S. is now downgraded to AA+ bond rating effective [date]. This will tank the markets (as we saw with the fake pentagon explosion) and we will be taking in the tendies.

Raiddinn1

Honestly, far too few people are thinking about how they can reduce their number of positions while still having a high returns correlation. By that I mean If your 15 fund portfolio has a correlation closely approaching 1 with an AA that is 100% VOO, then you should probably just have 100% VOO and quit with the 15 different funds thing. Everything you pointed out would be something I would consider as an irrelevant data point.

Nah, we’re currently at AAA with Fitch. If they downgrade us, it’ll probably be to just AA+

Evil_Shrubbery

Also (since 2011) S&P rates USA at AA instead of AAA (AA+ is a notch lower than AAA, which means sightly more likely to default and/or have higher spread risk).

Rabbit-Quiet

let's put it this way. Greece had debt to gdp at 150% when they entered the EU. I knew the guy that helped fake the info to make them look better, but then they joined the EU and this way fully understood. the EU then had to ail them out, but still it was bad. with the US with a debt to gdp as high as it now means we are barely paying the interest and "printing" too much. the US should go from AA+ to B or C, which will be disastrous if it happens. but, the government needs to just say... we are to large, we cannot help everyone, and cut expenses....get under control and back to something reasonable... no one would be ok with an individual or a business that spends this much over what it bring in for long periods of time without a plan to lower expenses and become positive cash flow.

July 25, 2011: Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner addressed the nation separately over network television with regards to the debt ceiling.[154] July 25, 2011: The bond market is shaken by a single $850 million futures trade betting on US default. July 29, 2011: The Budget Control Act of 2011 S. 627,[155] a Republican bill that immediately raised the debt ceiling by $900 billion and reduced spending by $917 billion, passed in the House on a vote of 218–210. No Democrats voted for it, and it also drew 'no' votes from 22 Republicans, who deemed it insufficiently tough on spending cuts.[156] It allows the President to request a second increase in the debt ceiling of up to $1.6 trillion upon passage of the balanced-budget amendment and a separate $1.8 trillion deficit reduction package, to be written by a new "joint committee of Congress".[157] Upon introduction into the Senate in the evening, the bill was immediately tabled on a 59–41 vote, including some Republican votes.[158] July 30, 2011: The House of Representatives voted 173–246 to defeat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's $2.4 trillion plan to reduce the deficit and raise the debt ceiling.[159] July 31, 2011: President Barack Obama announced that leaders of both parties had reached an agreement to lift the debt ceiling and reduce the federal deficit. Separately, House Speaker John Boehner told Republicans that they had reached the framework for an agreement.[160] Boehner revealed details of the agreement in a presentation to the House Republicans.[161] August 1, 2011: The House passed a bipartisan bill by a vote of 269–161. 174 Republicans and 95 Democrats voted 'yes'; 66 Republicans and 95 Democrats voted 'no'.[162] August 2, 2011: The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 74–26. 28 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and 1 independent voted 'yes'; 19 Republicans, 6 Democrats, and 1 independent voted 'no'.[163] President Obama signed the debt ceiling bill the same day, thus ending fears of a default. Obama also declared that the bill is an "important first step to ensuring that as a nation we live within our means".[164] August 2, 2011: The date estimated by the Department of the Treasury that the borrowing authority of the US would be exhausted, if the debt ceiling crisis were not resolved.[45] August 3, 2011: The Treasury increased the national debt by $238 billion.[109] August 5, 2011: Standard & Poor's lowered the credit rating of the United States from AAA to AA+, citing Congressional resistance to new revenue measures and uncontrolled growth of entitlement programs. The agency rated the long-term outlook as negative, citing uncertainty in debt growth dynamics.[114][115]

Japan's economy has been struggling with deflation and low growth for decades, despite the efforts of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) to stimulate demand and inflation through ultra-loose monetary policy. However, recent data suggests that Japan's inflation is finally picking up, driven by higher commodity prices, supply bottlenecks, and stronger domestic demand https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/japans-inflation-stays-above-bojs-target-key-gauge-hits-four-decade-high/ar-AA1bnYbU https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Inflation/Japan-inflation-spreads-to-services-as-key-index-hits-41-year-high. According to the latest data, Japan's core consumer inflation, which excludes fresh food but includes energy items, rose 3.4% year-on-year in April 2021, matching market expectations and accelerating from a 3.1% gain in March https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/japans-inflation-stays-above-bojs-target-key-gauge-hits-four-decade-high/ar-AA1bnYbU. It was the highest inflation rate since September 2014, when a sales tax hike boosted prices https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/japans-inflation-stays-above-bojs-target-key-gauge-hits-four-decade-high/ar-AA1bnYbU. A key index stripping away the effects of both fresh food and fuel, which is closely watched by the BOJ as a key barometer of domestic demand-driven price trends, rose 4.1% year-on-year in April, marking the fastest annual pace since September 1981 https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/japans-inflation-stays-above-bojs-target-key-gauge-hits-four-decade-high/ar-AA1bnYbU. The implications of Japan's inflation for world bond and currency markets are: • World bond markets may face upward pressure on yields and downward pressure on prices, as Japan's inflation may reduce the demand for low-risk assets such as government bonds. Japan is one of the largest holders of foreign bonds, especially US Treasuries, and if it shifts its portfolio away from bonds to other assets with higher returns, it may cause a sell-off in global bond markets https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Inflation/Japan-inflation-spreads-to-services-as-key-index-hits-41-year-high https://www.msn.com/en-ph/news/money/japan-inflation-34-in-april/ar-AA1bpH28. Moreover, if Japan's inflation prompts the BOJ to tighten its monetary policy sooner than expected, it may also cause a rise in Japanese bond yields and a decline in bond prices https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Inflation/Japan-inflation-spreads-to-services-as-key-index-hits-41-year-high https://www.msn.com/en-ph/news/money/japan-inflation-34-in-april/ar-AA1bpH28. • World currency markets may face a strengthening of the Japanese yen and a weakening of other major currencies, such as the US dollar and the euro. Japan's inflation may increase the attractiveness of the yen as a store of value and a hedge against inflation, especially if it outpaces the inflation rates of other countries https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Inflation/Japan-inflation-spreads-to-services-as-key-index-hits-41-year-high https://www.msn.com/en-ph/news/money/japan-inflation-34-in-april/ar-AA1bpH28. Moreover, if Japan's inflation leads to a narrowing of the interest rate differential between Japan and other countries, it may also increase the demand for the yen and reduce the demand for other currencies https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Inflation/Japan-inflation-spreads-to-services-as-key-index-hits-41-year-high https://www.msn.com/en-ph/news/money/japan-inflation-34-in-april/ar-AA1bpH28. These are some possible implications of Japan's inflation for world bond and currency markets. However, these implications are not certain or inevitable, as they depend on various factors, such as the magnitude and persistence of Japan's inflation, the reactions of other central banks and governments, and the expectations and sentiments of market participants. Therefore, it is important to monitor the developments and trends of Japan's economy and its impact on global financial markets.

A Federal Judge denied JetBlue and AA’s merger. Is that good or bad for JetBlue?

Please don't bring people fromcali to Florida. We don't need anymore of them. Cost of living has skyrocketed here as NYers flooded into the state. They vote to destroy they own economy, then move to our states/cities and destroy ours before we have a chance. They get to keep their high paying jobs and go remote. There needs to be an increased personal tax law on people relocating from those places in Florida. They shouldn't mind it either seeing as they vote for higher taxes all the time anyways. It will disincentivize them from moving here. Another law needs to be passed in Florida that bars them from keeping their now remote high paying job, located in NY, but moving to Florida. They'll have to pick up a job when they move. To further disincentivize them from moving here. **I'm not arguing for federal law.** Just STATE law for Florida. Y'all complain about us, our culture, our politics. While destroying your own housing & economy due to y'all culture and terrible politics. THEN flee from these places like NY/Cali to OUR backyard and instantly throw off our housing markets and make our lives 10x harder. I watched the cost of a home in Miami, in the most impoverished and crime ridden areas (Liberty City/Overtown) go from $40 - 60k **to $400 - 650k** WITHIN A 6 YEAR TIMESPAN. Y'all have murdered the Afro American community down here. Y'all have murdered the working class community down here. Overtown IS a historically Afro American community, white flight never existed, Freed Americans built that once glorious community from the ground up. My family been there since the 1920s. Y'all have absolutely no remorse either, while gaslighting us through y'all politics as yall point fingers at republicans. Republicans ain't punish the economies & economic opportunities of AA/Working Class members of Miami, nor across the state of Florida, the way super liberals from Cali/NY have in just a short period of time. Stay in your state, and STOP voting for all them dumbass laws. STOP voting in all that dumbass shit. Reverse the damage y'all own culture and politics have done. STOP destroying your own backyard then running away from y'all mess to destroy ours. That's disgustingly selfish behavior. I make $100k/y but my entire community is suffering. Family, friends, strangers, proud members in the community. People are working several jobs and living paycheck to paycheck. I'm in low income apartments where rent was $700 when I came home from the Army, and is now $1200. For a one bedroom. 700 sq ft. Most violent and second most impoverished neighborhood in Miami-Dade County. I can cover these increases but there are whole families struggling. Stay in new york.

Especially if the US's credit rating goes down again like it did in the 2011 debt ceiling crisis. Because their bonds got downgraded from AAA to AA+, interest payments became notably more expensive than they were before. If it happens again, the problem of interest payments will get worse.

Soon to be AA+
