  • My understanding of the OBBB situation: The bill has lots of things that advance Trump’s agenda, like tax cuts, finishing the wall, etc., but there is a lot of pork added in by Congress. However, it’s a budget reconciliation bill, so we only need 50 votes as opposed to 60 in the Senate, so Trump and his team are willing to let Congress get their pork, so long as Trump is able to pass what is needed to advance his agenda. Elon doesn’t like the extra pork and wants to slim it down, and Trump just wants to get his bill passed so he can fix pressing problems. I can see both sides of the argument.

  • Elon is 100% about America’s debt. Trump is 100% about DC being a Swamp. The Swamp won’t cut debt because they get rich making debt. Trump has to run America through the Swamp. If Congress was full of Elons it would be easy but it’s full of Swamp Creatures. DC sucks. Facts.

BOTTOM LINE: Asian indices are mostly higher, boosted by consumer discretionary and technology shares in the region. I expect US stocks to open mixed and to weaken into the afternoon, finishing modestly lower.  The Portfolio is 50% net long heading into the day.
