1/ Looking at implied correlation, the 10 delta put (crash put) is still barely pricing any correlation in the $SPX, again somewhat odd in the context of 80% of the $SPX moving in the same direction yesterday. 
2/ As a reminder, implied correlation can be thought of as the "discount" in $SPX volatility for the diversification benefit of the index. Yesterday's realized diversification benefit was low, but the market views this as a temporary condition.
3/ For all the focus on the $VIX, however, the surprising outcome from yesterday was the spike higher in rate vol as bonds again sold off alongside equities.While equity vol has been cheap, rate volatility (the $MOVE index), has persisted expensive since 2021.
Zionists and Elon Musk are now demanding Americans be arrested, jailed and exiled for saying things they don't like. These are the same depraved scum who brand themselves as "free speech absolutists"
also the guy in the clip and many others that genocidal Zionists Shai Davidai and Ashley St. Clair want arrested, jailed and deported for saying something they don't like are white Americans. Where the fuck are you going to deport and exile them to, you deranged fucking freaks
btw if you say genocidal Zionists like Ashley St. Clair, Shai Davidai, Bari Weiss and Ben Shapiro should be deported to their precious Israel, you're an evil monster, Elon Musk will delete your post, and you'll be arrested and jailed if you're in Europe

NEW: The current US debate about providing additional military assistance to Ukraine is based in part on the assumption that the war will remain stalemated regardless of US actions. That assumption is false. Russian advances will accelerate absent urgent American action. 🧵(1/8)
2/ The Russians are breaking out of positional warfare and beginning to restore maneuver to the battlefield because of the delays in the provision of US military assistance to Ukraine.
3/ Ukraine cannot hold the present lines now without the rapid resumption of US assistance, particularly air defense and artillery, that only the US can provide rapidly and at scale.

“As for the economy, it is true that the Chinese experience of the last 40 years was a very specific type of miracle that is unlikely to be replicated. Even so, there is a case for India because it is no longer the economically constrained giant that it once was.” 1/17
“The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has built roads, ports, airports, railways, power, and telecommunications, in such quantities that it has rendered the country almost unrecognizable from what it was just a few years ago.” 2/17
“New Welfarism” has enhanced Indians’ quality of life… prioritizes the public delivery of essentially private goods and services, providing voters with clean fuel, sanitation, power, housing, water, & bank accounts while making clear to them that the benefactor is the PM.” 4/17
If you've ever been sleep deprived, read this:
Scientists in Canada launched the largest study on how lack of sleep affects the brain.
They created games that tested skills like reasoning, language comprehension & decision making.
They had one participant repeat these tests in an MRI machine. Here's what they found:

Last week, the Universities of Wisconsin released third-party financial assessments for 7 of our 13 universities. The analyses highlight and demonstrate the financial realities facing our universities. A thread:
It is important for the public to understand the challenges our universities are facing and know that we are looking them square in the eye, using a data-driven approach to solving our immediate challenges – and setting the stage for the next two decades. 2/
Our structural deficits did not happen overnight; state support has declined to approximately 18% of our total budget - to the point that we’re 42nd in public funding of higher ed nationally, and we have weathered a 10-year tuition freeze, enrollment declines, and inflation. 3/
WAR, WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
Asking whether the imminent war with Iran, like the proxy-war with Russia, can be ‘won’ is the wrong question. The goal of war in the New Normal isn’t victory over a designated enemy but the creation of a permanent state of war that justifies two things.

First, war places the warring states under a legal or de facto State of Emergency. This justifies the removal of the rights and freedoms of their citizens on a temporary basis it is within the legislative authority of their governments to extend for as long as the war lasts.
We saw this trialled successfully between 2020 and 2022 under lockdown restrictions on our rights and freedoms, when the West was placed on a war footing, both legally and economically, in what was universally described as the ‘War on COVID’.
The suspension may satisfy the anger of NPR editors and reporters over Berliner’s detailed accounts of their bias. In conjunction with Maher’s attacks, it is clear that the problem is viewed as Berliner, not the underlying bias...jonathanturley.org/2024/04/16/npr…
...Berliner is one of the few remaining “old guard” journalists at NPR who want greater balance at the outlet. Even that singular voice is too much for the staff...
...Again, it is reminiscent of what we have seemed in higher education where faculties have been purged of conservative, libertarian, or dissenting voices. NPR obviously has a right to be slanted and bias. It does not have a right to public funding in presenting such coverage.
