EVs: more bad news.
Economy:
- US GDP, Carl Q: on top of the world. And not just by a little, but a lot
- but even better, look at the trends
- up: US, India
- down a lot: Japan, EU, UK
- down, but perhaps just taking a breather, recession? China
- but that EU, UK drop is stunning -- because the lines crossed in 2012, the stunning drop is easily missed
- but EU, UK look dreadful; Why? Energy and regulations
- at least two many EU/UK energy companies are looking to get listed on NYSE; they've had enough
- US spending: on a tear -- Carl Q
- the last two months were the strongest personal spending growth numbers in over a year! Link here.
- inflation: OMG! Link here.
- but wait, there's more -- one hour after inflation numbers were released, all was forgotten
- DOW up 60 points in pre-market despite Big Oil underf performing
- NASDAQ surges -- again pre-market
Energy:
- cloudy weather for solar energy in the US: link here.
- but worse, US solar panel manufacturers want US policies to stop China dumping
Southern surge: as expected, San Diego is now the top border region for migrant arrivals; link here;
- absolutely predictable;
- my only comment: why did it take so long?
CHIPS Act: link here.
- the social media comments: talk about a lot of folks that simply don't get it
Energy:
- EIA: US natural gas-fired electricity generation consistently increased in 2022 and 2023;
- link here;
- AI revolution in the US: energy needs will surge
Personal investing:
- I post my "investment buckets" as they change
- in my Big Pharma bucket, I have only one stock: ABBV
- today; at open, ABBV falls almost 3%
