Good find. Thx

I’m not sure the original post I quoted fully explained what they saw.

I don’t doubt Schwab’s liquidity. They’re held in high regard and are generally conservative. I just met with my local branch last week. I dont use margin and don’t trade individual stonks (mostly ETFs and 1/2 in their own MM fund with monthly reallocation) so my funds aren’t typically in limbo.

I know that a lot of brokerages were dealing with traders caught short the past two days with heavy margin calls, thought it was an odd statement. Haven’t seen anymore on it.

I would add the #1 item in my book is m2 money supply increases during COVID, piles of that went into housing / real estate when the interest rates where at the bottom as the ROI for bonds and other investments were super low ..



False. You can't afford a home because:

a) Blackstone & other groups that are gobbling up all the housing inventory, to perpetually rent out;
b) AIRBNB;

c) legal immigration from high net-worth folks who buy, often cash.

America’s beef bills are set to keep climbing, according to Omaha Steaks President and CEO Nate Rempe, who cautioned that the nation’s shrinking cattle supply and record demand are driving a "$10-a-pound reality" that could stretch family budgets for years.

"Look, domestically, we need to get our arms around it. Last time we got together, we talked about how the herd is at a 70-year low, demand is at an all-time high and the net result is prices are through the roof," Rempe told "Mornings with Maria" on Friday.
