Here’s another little piece of economic news to chew on:

From a Newsweek report:

ā€˜Buffet Indicator’ Gives Worrying Sign for Economy​

While the U.S. stock market has been on a generational bull run, with U.S. equities trading at record highs, observers have warned that a crash could be on the horizon and are pointing to one key metric that is now raising concerns.

The ā€œBuffett Indicator,ā€ proposed by and named after the acclaimed investor and outgoing Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, divides the total market cap of publicly traded U.S. stocks by the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Doing so, as Buffett argued in 2001, can be used to gauge whether the stock market is overvalued or undervalued relative to the size of the wider economy.

The Buffett Indicator ratio currently stands at 219 percent, according to financial analytics platform MacroMicro, surpassing both the long-term trend and the 200-percent threshold that Buffett has said indicatesinvestors are ā€œplaying with fire.ā€

😳 šŸ˜‘ 🤬

We. Told. Them. So.

Trump will try to fire Warren Buffett if any more bad figures come out.

The day after Buffet, who stopped trading, just bought a billion in stock in a single company.
 
THIS is the one thing that defies reality.
Trump "knew" that China would cave in because they'd run completely out of domestic soybeans in Mid-September 2025. He assumed they'd buckle and pay his tariff.

Instead, China did a one time only deal where it purchased every single exportable soybean in Argentina for the next 90 days if Argentina would temporarily suspend their tax on exported soybeans. Argentina did this, farmers got rich from the one-time only windfall, leaving the Argentinian government with about a 14 billion dollar deficit to cover.

So what does the Trump administration do?

It gave Argentina 20 billion in hard currency because the Christian Right approves of the Argentinian's "forced Christianity" policies (abortion and such).

Deficit shortfall solved!

We live in interesting times.

Interesting video comparing the ā€œnifty 50ā€ stocks of the 1960s to the ā€œmagnificent 7ā€ stocks of today. Extreme concentration of investment in just a few companies with sky-high valuations.

Despite Crooked Donnie’s 50% tariff on Brazil, Brazil’s overall exports grew last month.

Brazil’s overall exports grew last month as greater shipments to destinations like China and Argentina blunted the hit from 50% tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, according to data published on Monday.

Total exports reached $30.5 billion in September, up 7.2% from a year prior, a Brazil government report said.

It’s good to see Brazil doing well despite Crooked Donnie hitting them with punitive tariffs because they prosecuted Bolsonaro for attempting a coup. ā­ļø

Tariffs are helping China find alternative sources, namely agriculture. China bought $12.6b in soybeans a year ago. This year, zilch. Not much of a case for 50% tariffs and hurting American farmers.
