- SEP Commentary "The Investment Game is not so much about holding a good Hand as playing a bad Hand well" published. http://bit.ly/1MY9KUc
- Hope springs eternal. After having initially forecast 2017 Q4 #GDP growth at 4.5%, only to see it come in at just 2.6% (likely to be revised lower next month), the Atlanta Fed's initial read on 2018 Q1 GDP is 4.2%. Let the GDP limbo begin.
- Given how large past #Republican deficits have been relative to the initial rosy projections when the goal was to balance in 10 years, imagine how much further off the mark #Trump's deficits will be when even the pretense of eventual balance has been dropped!
- Former Reagan budget director David Stockman warns of a fiscal bloodbath in America's future. http://bit.ly/2qlfBhY
- Ron Paul asks: Do We Need the Fed? @SchiffGold https://t.co/oArb1Sf9wX
- This budget deal is a disaster. It ads 400 billion to the debt over the next 2 years. The 80 billion in disaster relief is one time (until the next disaster), but the 160 billion in spending will recur every year. Over 10 years that adds another 1.6 trillion to the national debt.
- 10-year U.S. treasury yields just touched 2.9%. This is a new high for the move. The rise in response to the CPI was delayed by the initial plunge in stock market futures. But now that stocks have recovered most of their losses, bonds are plunging.

- Where do you see and hear the most advertisements for gold and silver? Fox News and conservative talk radio. In other words, Trump voters buy gold – at least when Democrats are in office. http://bit.ly/2FF6Q78
- The fact that #gold has not already taken off shows just how little investors understand about what is happening. Stocks will keep falling until the Fed gives in, reverses its rate policy, and embraces QE4. The former is bullish for gold, the later is super bullish!

Would anyone be interested in an Austrian Slack group?
[Slack](http://slack.com) is the app that all those cool new startups use to communicate internally, but it is also used as a way for large communities to communicate and discuss, and it is rather good at what it does. With the Mises.org forums shutdown, it's difficult for us Austrians to discuss in real-time other than posting the occasional post on Reddit. With that being said, would anyone be interested in creating and joining a Slack group for Austrian Economics? I've already created one at http://ift.tt/20v7ycm but I wanted to post here to gauge interest. PM me your email and I can invite you if you're interested in joining.
