It's the end of the month, and the determining day for the January Barometer is tomorrow. Markets knee-jerked all over the board following yesterday's Fed announcements to hold firm at current rates. Economic news was not encouraging, with export up, imports down, suggesting the economy is weaker than thought; labor and demand dynamics. There is a lot of speculative money pouring into markets; nobody is buying stocks anymore. It's all in options, which will end badly for many because it's very speculative. Lance recounts the latest reports from Magnificent-7 member companies; Michael explores data center dynamics, the DeepSeek effect of cheaper processing, and Tesla's big plans. An admonition to be careful about following headlines; the one thing China is good at: Stealing the work of others'. Lance's favorite day is Thursday; economic data is not good; what the Fed thinks now and commentary on Labor; What the Atlanta Fed said; trying to control inflation from the Executive Branch. How did DeepSeek do it? Michael preaches on the fallacy of Meme Coins, and why they're destroyers of wealth; the role of influencers.
