'62 was the famous "flash crash" when the market declined like 7% in one day but i don't know if there was a specific JFK policy that brought it on
Nixon pulled us off the gold standard in '71 so perhaps there were rumblings of that happening which led to the 1970 stocktastrophe?
I do know the '70 crash was particularly destructive to tech stocks much like the 2022 version but unlike the current market the '70 crash was all basically just one month. This week will make it something like 11 of 13 or 12 of 14 losing weeks....a very long, consistent slide and not a 1 day or 1 month disaster but a complete collapse not caused by panic selling. But when 80% of dollars in circulation have been printed in the past 18 months I guess we should have expected the unexpected
Historically the biggest crashes happen in Octobers so....
talk about setting record, woah. Even Dianne Feinstein wasn't alive for this one.
What this means is nothing is safe in Bidenomics. You can't hide out in bonds, your stocks have devalued more than any other time in your life, you can't park your money in the bank without inflationary decay, and even cryto is being bled dry.
10yr Treasuries recorded their worst H1 since 1788, just before George Washington became President.
The roughly 10% drop in 10-year Treasuries this year is the steepest since bond losses exceeded 25% in 1788, according to the GFD index cited by Deutsche Bank.
This makes most portfolios even weaker as investors traditionally have a 60/40 portfolio split between stocks and bonds.

According to a 2022 survey of 700 CEOs, the top states for business were Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, and North Carolina. The worst were California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Washington.
(I know there's a correlation here but just can't figure it out. hmm)
Texas has attracted 250 new corporate headquarters since 2015 (wow)

Warm weather
Actually a lot of people from the Northeast were down in Florida these past 2 years. Since they were working remote, they could be anywhere. I had plenty of family members "visit mom and grandma", stay at their house, and worked remote.
Many northerners decided to sell their homes in the northeast and bought homes down here. Its sick monopoly money what homes down here are selling for. As cool as it is knowing what i could get for my house, i also want to puke that its going to cost at least 50% more if I wanted to buy a house after selling mine
more records set! inflation now jumps to 9.1% (!)
Consumer prices soared 9.1% compared with a year earlier, the government said Wednesday, the biggest yearly increase since 1981, and up from an 8.6% jump in May. From May to June, prices rose 1.3%, another substantial rise, after prices had jumped 1% from April to May.
US inflation reached a new 40-year high in June of 9.1%

This is around what the "REAL" inflation rate is at now, not the made up 9.1% bullshit.
The costs for businesses to buy their supplies/goods keeps going up also, so this is not going to be slowing down anytime soon. Believe it was over 1% last report which means prices will be going higher for the consumer.
This is going to be a total shit show come the fall, literally people will not be buying anything that they do not need. Companies will be laying off and the unemployment rate is going to sky rocket.
Add in the real estate market is about to collapse, meaning business related to housing will be laying off
at minimum.
You will be seeing a lot of businesses going of out business within the next year or so.
Unemployment will be rising quickly as companies fight to stay alive by cutting their easiest cost, labor.
Things are going to be getting very, very ugly by the end of the year.
yes of course and I've posted several times the site that shows how they USED TO calculate the inflation rate which is the only reason we're talking about worst inflation in 40 years. They don't calculate it the same as they did 40 years ago ... it's a government sleight of hand trick
the real # is 17.3%, a 75-year high
• I N F L A T I O N - FLASH (July 14): The original Finished Goods - Producer Price Index Series, which goes back to 1948, hit its second highest annual inflation level in history, at 18.6% in June 2022, the strongest showing since the historical record-high 19.6% of November 1974, while the current Final-Demand Goods PPI-FD series (created in 2009) hit another all-time (13-year) high of 17.4% in June 2022, up from the prior 16.6% series record in May 2022.
• Combining both the current series Final-Demand Goods Sector inflation, and the methodologically impaired Final-Demand Services Sector inflation, which declines with rising gasoline prices, the aggregate Final-Demand Producer Price Index (PPI-FD) June 2022 year-to-year headline inflation rate of 11.3% notched higher against some upwardly revised recent history, but remained shy of the March 2022 record high for this limited-history PPI series (created in 2009) of 11.6%, despite respective, seasonally adjusted monthly gains in April, May and June of 0.4%, 0.9% and 1.1%.
• FLASH (July 13): June 2022 Annual headline CPI-U Inflation jumped to a 41-year high of 9.1%, up from 8.6% in May, while the June 2022 Annual ShadowStats Alternate “Corrected” CPI Inflation jumped to a new 75-Year high of 17.3%, from 16.8% in May, on top of resurgent energy prices.
