“I’m proud of the protests but I’m not proud of the destruction. My brother wasn’t about that. The Floyds are a God-fearing family,” said Terrence Floyd, the late George Floyd’s brother.

“I thank God for you all showing love to my brother,” Terrance said, according to the Star Tribune. “Power to the people, all of us,” he said.

HUD Secretary Ben Carson was on the Sean Hannity radio show on 6.5.2020 to talk about current events, racial tensions, and the sharp May economic jobs rebound.

Among Carson’s comments? “There have been those who don’t like our system…They want to fundamentally change America…They can’t really change America as long as things are working well…So, the only way to bring about that change is to create chaos…Then they can use that [chaos] as their excuse to cause havoc and destruction.”

While talking to the media about the sharp rebound in jobs, when millions of jobs were expected to be lost, President Trump’s comments included a polite tweak of the nose of Warren Buffett. That and more will be found in the featured focus, further below.

As is customary, the evening manufactured housing connected equities snapshot follows the featured focus, the related reports, and other market data at closing bell. Additionally, readers old and new alike will see our left-right media headline bullets and thought-provoking quotable quotes that follow tonight.

Featured Focus – Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet

 

 

There are those who don’t grasp that the 45^th president has a wry and at times a subtle sense of humor. Additionally, there are those who may not see that President Donald J. Trump can be diplomatic. That’s demonstrated on numerous occasions, such as with Russian, Chinese communist, North Korea, Venezuelan or other leaders. When publicly spanking a rival nation’s leadership, POTUS Trump routinely nuances the statement by saying that they respect the people of that nation while slamming their leaders.

The Commander in Chief has done that with Democratic leaders while routinely doing outreaches to traditionally Democratic constituencies, such as minorities, union members, and others.

With that backdrop, the snapshot from left-of-center CNBC that follows will make more sense on a day when the spread between expected job losses and the actual job gains were in the range of 11+ million, as about 2.5 million jobs were added instead of 9 million expected job losses.

Per CNBC earlier today:

• President Donald Trump, during a White House address to trumpet the surprising May surge in jobs that signaled a rapid economic recovery could be afoot, took a moment to single out legendary investor Warren Buffettfor bailing on airlines stocks during the pandemic.
• “Warren Buffett sold airlines a little while ago. He’s been right his whole life, but sometimes even someone like Warren Buffett — I have a lot of respect for him — they make mistakes,” Trump said. “They should have kept the airline stocks because the airline stocks went through the roof today.”
• Buffett, one of Wall Street’s most revered investors of all time and known for a lifelong commitment to finding bargain deals, revealed at the Berkshire annual meeting in early May that his Berkshire Hathaway had sold the entirety of its position in the U.S. airline industry.
• Buffett said at the time the Covid-19 pandemic will have grim, but nonetheless fundamental changes for companies like United Airlines, which he exited.
• “The world has changed for the airlines. And I don’t know how it’s changed and I hope it corrects itself in a reasonably prompt way,” he said in May. “I think there are certain industries, and unfortunately, I think that the airline industry, among others, that are really hurt by a forced shutdown by events that are far beyond our control.”
• Trump critiqued Buffett on the heels of a record-breaking jobs report, which showed that U.S. employers added an eye-popping 2.5 nonfarm payrolls in May. The jobless rate declined to 13.3%, far better than the net negative results economists had been expecting.
