WTI Slumping -- Severe Recession No Longer Unlikely -- June 15, 2022

Amazon: still amazes me after all these years

  • for purposes of travel, I needed another external hard drive:
    • I wanted the same one that I had purchased two or three years ago;
  • before 0800 today, I went to Amazon, looked at "prior purchases," found the hard drive, and a couple of clicks and it was ordered
  • I was given the choice
    • to be delivered between 1000 and 1500 hrs, or between 1500 and 2000 hrs today; or,
    • tomorrow
  • free delivery, regardless of delivery choice
  • the hard drive arrived at my door step at 1455
  • and, as noted, it was ordered earlier this morning
  • and, because it was ordered from Amazon, on my Amazon credit card, 5% cash-back

WTI: $115.30.

  • everything to do with FOMC ("Fed" rate and inflation expectations)
  • "Fed" rate + inflation expectations = severe recession
    •  "back to the future": 1974?
    • see wiki link: millennials never experienced this; the rest of us did
      • it was not pleasant
      • mortgages for as much as 15%
  • severe recession --> significantly decreased energy and feedstock requirements
  • --> falling gasoline prices
  • whether we have the third leg of stagflation (high unemployment) is yet to be seen, but unemployment concerns are not on the Fed's radar scope yet 
    • I've argued against unemployment issues, but I could very easily be wrong
    • I'm no longer taking any wagers
