Even in stagflation, corps will do well - they are sitting on mountains of debt - those that globalized will benefit from incredible triage in labor rates around the world.
Habeeb in india is now nearly 20% cheaper to employ...
Stagflation makes US employees even MORE expensive - corps cant (or wont) afford; so more work will be shipped overseas, more ppl in america will fall behind.
US becomes more of an empty shell, 2 societies - one at the top making all the important decisions where labor will be employed and factories will be built and the other barely holding on
Nearly every corporation is doing same thing - taking on debt, buying back stonk- here is $UNH
$LOW
$AAPL
$GE is an interesting study - they are paying DOWN debt AND retiring shares....this might be set to explode higher next earnings....
$WMT is doing it
$TGT is doing it
But heres the problem - Trump had the best intentions when he cut corporate taxes; He then imposed HI import tarrifs on china - the idea - coerce corporations to invest domestically.
If i didnt leave america when i did I would have never understood the global trading system or currencies.
You benefit from my knowledge as I share what I have learned.
This is more of that.
This is a currency thread.

Globalization has been a disaster for the american worker.
Globalization has ONLY been enabled thru currency manipulation by US trading parterners to create an inequitable trading balance, which puts massive downward pressure on US wages and jobs.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/spee…
Yes, your shoes and clothes cost a little less - but the people in US who used to produce those products are now "public charges" and a burden on the American social system.
Not everyone can "learn to code" or be doctors or engineers.
Many honest folks just want to clock in, make money, and go home.
So i was thinking - "man, the euro sure did change in value quite rapidly. EU cant afford to buy back that debt like that....this was an external state actor....
I wonder who that could be?"
To explain, if you earn USD and you live in EU?
Life right now sucks.
🧵👇
if you are a europee and you wanna go vacation?
The world is your oyster....especially asia.
You can buy a LOT in asia.
Currencies are pairs, or ratios.
2nd chart EURVND is inverted - again proving my oint, currencies are pairs.
You get nearly 30000 vnd for 1 of your europees.
But i wonder "who the fuck dumped EUR debt to do this". Either the ECB bought back debt (they cant) or someone international said "Fuck this im out"
Something happened March 4th that spooked the EU bond market.
