Notes From All Over -- June 15, 2021

Best part of the day:

• Rick Santelli, CNBC. Wow, he sounded angry today. LOL. 

Second best part of the day:

• Jim Cramer in the morning.

Retirements

One of the themes of the blog: Covid-19 expedited "2020 - 2035" -- that fifteen year span -- into a five-year span, "2020 - 2025." 

Exhibit A: retirements.

Multiple links:

• Bloomberg, April 30, 2021.
• Forbes, April 30, 2021.
• CNBC, May 28, 2021.
• AARP, March 10, 2021.

The worst thing one can do if inflation is a) transitory, b) going to be worse than predicted, c) is longer than expected .... is retire. 

Will put additional strain on social security fund.

Market

Amazon will pass Walmart in the next year or so as the largest US retailer -- Jamie Dimon. 

I have never been disappointed with Amazon.
