That would be a bad bet. You can have a recession and still have high oil prices. We're not even close to historical highs yet when you look at inflation-adjusted dollars.

If anything, high oil prices cause recession (or are at least leading/concurrent indicators) since everything in the economy wants cheap energy.
Oil's Spike Could Bring a Recession, History Shows
“History shows that a 100% increase in oil prices over a year usually triggers a recession (1990, 2000, 2008). We’re not quite there yet, but we are getting closer by the day,” Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research, wrote in a note on Wednesday.

Don't listen to Captain Suave. Short oil and 5x leverage it. What could possibly go wrong? See you in valhalla, soldier!

There should be a Congress ETF. Investors buy shares which return dividends based on a percentage of the bribes they take each year.

The rules aren't the same for everyone. When is the last time the exchange shut down on your behalf so the short squeeze that is bankrupting you could be halted?

Fun fact. At its current price, Russia has 750 trillion dollars of nickel that is currently known. Their exports at the current price are worth about 22 billion a year versus 3 billion a year two years ago. Story is like this with a lot of things Russia exports. Even if they just stop exporting to the west and stockpile on a lot of things they are ultimately making bank compared to before sanctions.

I figured this would be an ETF that only buys / sells based on Pelosi’s disclosures. I realize they’re delayed but you don’t have to beat Pelosi just the S&P

Full automation of jobs is a pipe dream that will never happen. I work in automation and there are just so many things a robot is not good at. Plus you need tons of skilled people to maintain these robots, install them, develop them, etc. and finding even low skilled workers to work on easy shit like conveyors is tough. People (not enough of them anyway) just don’t give a shit and machines get into disrepair quickly.
