Josh awakened slowly. The last thing he remembered was the glint of the axe as it came down, and then... darkness. Where was he? Why was he naked? Why the hell couldn't he feel his limbs? As his vision cleared, he looked down. That's when he saw the nails. Josh began to scream.

The Wall Street person who thinks this will go away seems a little complacent.

giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Donald Trump’s “unpredictable” policies have prompted bond giant Pimco to diversify away from US assets, as Wall Street frets over the long-term consequences of the president’s attacks on the Federal Reserve. Dan Ivascyn, chief investment officer of Pimco, told the FT that the $2.2tn fund manager was “diversifying” its portfolios as it contends with the US president’s rapidly changing policies, which have caused flare-ups in market volatility. “It’s important to appreciate that this is an administration that’s quite unpredictable,” Ivascyn said. “What are we doing about that? We’re diversifying . . . We do think we’re in a multiyear period of some diversification away from US assets.” Executives on Wall Street also cautioned that the subpoenas to Powell were less about the current Fed chair and more about his successor, with worries the president may try to extract guarantees from whoever is next in charge of the Fed. Powell’s term as chair ends in May and the president could name his nominee to succeed him in coming days or weeks. “Trump is fighting the next war, not the last war,” said the chief executive of a Wall Street firm who asked not to be named to avoid being targeted by the president. Many investors have also been reassured by Republican senators Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski, who have criticised the investigation.  “Everyone thinks we’re in crazyville and no one thinks there’s anything to the charges,” said one veteran Wall Street executive. “It’s more chest- thumping by the Trump administration.”

This is partially in anticipation of potential price hikes, but also because Switch 2 holiday sales were lower than expected, despite outpacing Switch 1 in the launch period.

Tariffs were already squeezing margins last year, component costs are increasing rapidly, so a price hike may happen.

I've mentioned this before, but one thing I've been closely watching for is when crypto people begin to distance themselves from Trump.

November 2024 vs. January 2026
 Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has also clearly been trying to woo Trump, claiming very shortly after the election that he was “going to be spending quite a bit of time working with lawmakers in Washington DC and quite a bit of time with members of the administration to help foster and facilitate with other key leaders in industry the crypto policy”.6 While he has continued to boast vaguely about meetings with various influential figures, winkingly describing a “VIP dinner” where “diet coke will certainly be on [the menu]”, there’s been little outside confirmation that he’s had much access to the Trump administration.  Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson said U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has put the American crypto industry in a worse position than it was under Trump's predecessor, former President Joe Biden.
