(Bloomberg) -- The chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has a warning for stock bulls: the structural forces weighing on the dollar are threatening to spread to US equities in turn. “Consider preparing for a US dollar regime shift,” cautioned Lisa Shalett. Deteriorating relations with China, the end of yield curve management in Japan and rising Bitcoin and commodity prices suggest the currency’s run “might be hitting its limit.” Link to story, via Yahoo finance and originally from Bloomberg - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/morgan-stanley-warns-us-stocks-201615574.html My comments - This sounds like is a warning that Morgan Stanley wants investors to be prepared for a slight, coming shock to the value of both the dollar and of Wall Street as a whole. But I have to wonder why issue a public warning if you know it might cause a stir for something small? Why not just let us toss some coins in the iChing and take whatever omens we can from that? Looking at the warnings most recently given by Powell, the head of the Fed, concerning the ballooning federal deficit along with the projections that the deficit is growing at the rate of $1 trillion dollars every 100 days and I'd have to ask if this story is actually a hint that you might want to buy both stocks in developing countries and gold and silver bouillon. #CrypticBankers

Some folks have asked what drone warfare looks like. Well, here's a close and personal look - one soldier and one drone. While I suspect this is from the Ukraine War I have no details on the demise.
