This penny thing is a classic example of the US doing something lots of other countries have done but making a balls if it because it’s incapable of doing things normally
THE VAULT: The penny was declared dead this week at the age of 232-years-old, courtesy of the Trump administration. Now it’s Capitol Hill’s turn to pick up the tab. Because the penny hasn’t gone quietly.

Okay that’s easy. Reserves are GAM, if there isn’t enough of it you have to start doing some real hare-brained stuff to your roster that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be terrible but does mean a lot less talent than you could otherwise afford.

It's still early but when we compare current earnings season (156 reports tracked in our data) to where things were at with that many reports during prior earnings seasons, this is the third-strongest EPS beat rate on record and strongest revenue beat rate. Just incredibly strong versus estimates.
