Quote for the Day:

Leon Blum, the French Socialist leader, once said that he was certain the Allies would triumph over the Nazis but feared that, in doing so, we would become like them. The sad truth is that in the realm of strategic bombing we went further than they did. We were all too susceptible to escalating twentieth-century technological slaughter in the name of world redemption.

1. Monumental rebound rally in the days ahead

Money is being peeled off conservative stocks as they fear the interest rate environment. Tech pummeled on the same thing, no one knows where AI is really headed or how to make it profitable. So far all they do is brag and announce bigger, faster chips. Speculative junk stocks are making headway a bit. I haven't found a theme that makes me comfortable. It was a much better investing environment when hooch shares were going to solve all the problems of the world.
