1928 or 29 Chrysler 75 cabriolet #DavesCarIDService
This is about a $50k car today, roughly a 500x ROI since 1929; Dow Jones is up about 120x since Jan 1 1930, but about 700x from its low point in 1932.
The UK license plate gives me pause, but sure looks like a 1925-ish Lafayette Indiana-made Auto Red Bug, the ultimate microcar. "Street Legal" was a very elastic term in 1925
Here's one in all its glory; basically a wooden sled with baby buggy wheels and a 3 hp Briggs & Stratton engine. Lowest price production car of all time at $125
1936 Ford pickup; wouldn't be mine because I would never replace a beam axle with IFS on a fenderless car

My favorite thing about election night twitter is learning how people voting spells the death of democracy
I would like to point out once again that I never vote, so please take me off your list of democracy murder suspects
my favorite thing about morning-after-election-night twitter is the recriminations and walks of shame

Well, it wasn't a total loss for Labour
brb, printing a "Will Tell You I'm a Socialist For a Blowjob" t-shirt
I feel like this is a teaching opportunity, using my wife's favorite joke:

Q: What's the worst thing Willie Nelson can tell you after you give him a blowjob?

A: "I'm not Willie Nelson."

President @realDonaldTrump at @EconClubNY: “Today, I am proud to stand before you as President of the United States to report that we have delivered on our promises—and exceeded our expectations by a very wide margin."
"We have ended the war on American Workers, we have stopped the assault on American Industry, and we have launched an economic boom the likes of which we have never seen before!"
“Before I took office, the Congressional Budget Office projected that fewer than 2 million jobs would be created by this time in 2019. Instead, my administration has created nearly 7 million jobs.”

#Recession fears have spiked because of a reliable indicator that the USA is entering an economic recession. Throughout market history, anytime the yield on 10-year treasury notes went below the 2-year rate, recession followed. That happened today, so investors are fleeing.
#Dow Jones Industrial Average way down. Mega-banks are taking solid uppercuts to the chin today. Citigroup is down 5% right now.
Trump's trade/tariff war on China has not only decimated US agriculture, but it has added to a global economic slowdown. The Fed will now likely give in to his flip-flopped demand that they lower interest rates again. We may even see negative yield before its over.

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

Let’s Get this Chart Storm STORMING...

1/
The most optimism in over 5 years - nothing to see here
2/
Since we are on the subject of sentiment and internal health/state of the markets

This swing in the equity options markets is off the scale manic. From very high put buying to very high call buying in 2 bars!!! $SPX
3/

But that’s not all. $VIX is not agreeing with options players - so someone is wrong. Possibly the manic maniacs? Your guess is as good as ours $SPX
