Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 1 original post for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 96 interactions against 470K followers, an engagement rate of 0.021%. Posts are seen about 16K times each, and 0.61% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.35% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.03 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.5K interactions, about 68x its own typical post. Only 1 original post have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 0% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 100% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 0% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 100% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 329 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

This market “crash” will affect millennial and Gen Z investors for long to come. What before was a can’t miss way to make money will induce caution and more conservative attitudes, resulting in lower P/E ratios, higher yields, and low single-digit returns.

Hard to measure but I suspect upper middle class and wealthy boomers are funding millennials and younger generational spending by transferring assets/cash and paying bills, and in the process pumping retail sales and the economy. In essence they are liquidating balance sheets to pay for spending. This is likely to continue as long as stocks/housing prices stay elevated.

My portfolio of defensive stocks is green so I don’t begrudge today’s market. But I ask you, would you want to own highly volatile US stocks whose price depends on whether POTUS had a good night’s sleep and woke up the next morning to reverse yesterday’s policies?

As I told Bloomberg, this is an epic economic and market event similar to 1971 and the end of the gold standard except with immediate negative consequences. Investors should not try to “catch a falling knife”. Today’s appealing “bargains” will be around tomorrow and the next day. https://t.co/Uzop0rA3Gi Trump can’t back down anytime soon — he’s too macho for that. Buying domestic companies such as T, VZ and MO for relatively safe dividends in a falling interest rate world. Even with these be careful — they are approaching “overbought” territory.

The US financial markets are highly levered and that leverage is unwinding without value considerations. ETFs when sold sell everything. Still wait for this falling levered knife to hit bottom. Next week may present opportunities.

Cliff Asness of AQR has written an interesting paper available online. Basically he asserts markets are now less efficient due to index funds, low interest rates, and most importantly the influence of access to technology that encourages memes and meme philosophy that increases the attractiveness of markets that have gone up and decreases valuations of those that haven’t. Momentum as an alpha contributor perhaps has gained influence versus value etc etc Trends that have gone on recently such as high PE’s and outperformance of US stocks versus others may be influenced by these factors. Good read by @CliffordAsness https://t.co/SDOAp10P8g

At Pimco/Pacific Life I and others helped give Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger one of their first loans to a down-and-out Berkshire Hathaway in the mid 70s. I knew nothing about insurance and candy stores but was sold by his long-term vision of the economy and markets. Congratulations my friend -- not just on the numbers -- but on the philanthropy and the years. Having a cherry Coke with you was a highlight of my career.

Too much leverage in the global financial system with Japanese yen strength and overdone treasury yield declines a key to the unwind. I’m not buying the small recovery from morning bottoms. Not selling either. Markets too volatile with bid/ask spreads extremely wide.

Regional bank “cockroaches” may continue to affect stocks AND bonds. 10 year Treasury has no business below 4% though 4.5% more like it — too much supply/deficits despite slowing, soon-to-be 1% growth economy. Gold has become a momentum/meme asset. If you want to own it, wait awhile.

Long-term research indicates US 10 year has traded at CPI plus 175. With inflation at 2.5% that puts a 10 year at 4.25% or so. That was history — but deficits/ensuing supply of bonds/and a weak dollar should keep CPI from falling below 2.5% and the 10 year from falling below 4.25%. Stocks are AI dominated and continue to suggest 1-2% economic growth despite tariffs and geopolitical unrest. I suggest a “little bull market” for stocks and a “little bear market” for bonds. Nothing dramatic either way for now.
