The market is doing fine.

Inflation is also doing fine (based on my shopping lists... So much more expensive).

Devaluing the dollar is also doing fine, based on my companies expected average salary increase, it's a bit better (salary increase).

But the devaluing of the $ has made us lose more than market or salary gains.

FWIW, I saw an article yesterday noting that people will finally start to see "noticeable" tariff inflation this month.

Not saying Dimon will be wrong - I mean, there's always the "next recession" eventually - but he has been a voice of doom and gloom for many years now. Had investors heeded his warnings, they would have missed out on significant gains.

Visa and Mastercard stocks down about 5% each today after a report said Amazon and Walmart are considering stablecoin payment systems that would bypass traditional payment rails.

Overreaction IMHO. Few actually see this happening anytime soon. Seems more like a negotiation ploy by Amazon and Walmart.
