@TFTC21TFTC 787 w/ @m3_melody: "Foreclosure starts just went up 150% month over month. That's not something you ever see in the default world. It's worse than the GFC." We discuss: ⚡ The 150% foreclosure spike ⚡ Why multifamily is the next 2008 ⚡ The $2.3T crash hiding in the data
@TFTC21The US just secured majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan crude oil reserves, reportedly at no cost to the American taxpayer. If the details hold up, this is a massive geopolitical and energy move. For context, US proven oil reserves currently sit around 44 billion barrels. Adding 65 billion barrels would more than double that overnight, vaulting the US past Saudi Arabia and Russia in total proven reserves. The deal was brokered by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, working with Venezuela's Interim President Delcy Rodriguez through a public-private partnership. Trump is calling it "the biggest oil deal in world history." Hard to argue with the math on that one. The implications are enormous: — US energy dominance gets a serious upgrade — Downward pressure on gas prices long-term — A diplomatic thaw with Venezuela after years of hostility — A signal to OPEC that the US is playing a different game now Still a lot of questions around execution, infrastructure, and what "majority control" actually looks like in practice. But on the surface, this is the kind of deal that reshapes the global energy map.
