The Fed just cut rates. The government’s shut down. And somehow, both stocks and gold are hitting record highs. It’s fire and ice dancing together — chaos dressed as confidence.

AI’s driving growth, the Fed’s staying chill, and Wall Street’s trying to decide if bad news is good again. But the real test starts tomorrow when JPMorgan kicks off earnings season. Will profits matc...

Trump just dropped a new tariff bombshell on China — and wall street’s reacting like it didn’t see this coming. But the signs were there all along.

From escalating trade rhetoric to growing pressure on u.s. manufacturers and currency maneuvers out of Beijing, this move was practically telegraphed.

In this Truthbomb, I break down:

• Why tariff inflation is supply-push, not demand-pull
• How rate hikes fail to lower costs...
