We had been previously told that there was a 1T bipartisan infrastructure plan in the works close to being completed. Now apparently there is a back up plan, and wow it’s got a huge sticker price. This news comes after yesterdays surprise inflation jolt which did little to dampen interest rates. In a vacuum higher inflation and lower rates is good for equity prices. But vacuums are unstable on earth. Just something to consider as we get FED testimony today.

If your Uber driver tells you he is thinking about yoloing on SPCE out of the money calls then its time to take risk off.
