This will enable us to meet the existential threat of climate change while creating millions of jobs with a choice to join a union.\n\nBuildings: Upgrade 4 million buildings and weatherize 2 million homes over 4 years, creating at least 1 million good-paying jobs with a choice to join a union; and also spur the building retrofit and efficient-appliance manufacturing supply chain by funding direct cash rebates and low-cost financing to upgrade and electrify home appliances and install more efficient windows, which will cut residential energy bills.\n\nHousing: Spur the construction of 1.5 million sustainable homes and housing units.\nInnovation: Drive dramatic cost reductions in critical clean energy technologies, including battery storage, negative emissions technologies, the next generation of building materials, renewable hydrogen, and advanced nuclear – and rapidly commercialize them, ensuring that those new technologies are made in America.\n\nAgriculture and Conservation: Create jobs in climate-smart agriculture, resilience, and conservation, including 250,000 jobs plugging abandoned oil and natural gas wells and reclaiming abandoned coal, hardrock, and uranium mines – providing good work with a choice to join or continue membership in a union in hard hit communities, including rural communities, reducing leakage of toxics, and preventing local environmental damage.\n\nAlso, more on Chinese infrastructure:\n\nhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/01/14/climate-change-biden-could-up-pressure-on-chinas-belt-and-road-initiative.html\n\nThey won’t slow down - Xi wants to be the Superpower in the world. \n\nhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/m.economictimes.com/markets/commodities/news/commodity-strategies-gold-silver-crude-base-metals/amp_articleshow/80282048.cms\n\nOutlook: Base metals\n\nBase metals traded mixed on Friday as Copper and Nickel prices traded steady with Nickel prices gaining to highest levels since 2019. Base metals are witnessing mixed trading due surge in virus cases in China has led to lockdown. The fall in dollar index has supported base metals to trade firm from the support levels. We expect base metals to trade sideways to up for the day.\n\nChina lockdown and stronger dollar today hammered steel. \n\nWeak, paper hands sold. \n\nChina has shown they can lockdown fast and hard and quell.\n\nhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/01/13/world/asia/china-covid-lockdown.amp.html\n\n“Since Wuhan, the authorities have created a playbook that mobilizes party cadres to quickly respond to new outbreaks by sealing off neighborhoods, conducting widespread testing and quarantining large groups when needed.\n\n“In the process of infectious disease prevention and control, one of the key points is to seek truth from facts, to openly and transparently release epidemic information and never to allow covering up or underreporting,” the Chinese premier, Li Keqiang, said at a meeting on Friday of the State Council, China’s cabinet.\n\nChina, a country of 1.4 billion people, has reported an average of 109 new cases a day over the past week, according to a New York Times database. Those would be welcome numbers in countries experiencing far worse — including the United States, which is averaging more than 250,000 new cases a day — but they are the worst in China since last summer.”\n\nOf course, the fear is still there. \n\nI think this is being used to over pressure commodities and the market in general - on the fear that China locks down again. \n\nChina is taken off-line. \n\nAll that global GDP. \n\nEverything leads back to China. \n\nI do not believe China will slow down and think they will show with great success that they can lockdown twice and stop this pandemic. \n\nI believe it is saber-rattling in a different form. \n\nThis is the new form of war. \n\nBy economic means. \n\nTwo years old, but fast forward and see how you think after reading with the backdrop of today’s current situation:\n\nhttps://realinvestmentadvice.com/china-is-winning-the-trade-war-without-firing-a-shot/\n\nThere is a much, much larger macro-economic situation playing out with the current situation playing out simultaneously. \n\nHowever, the current micro is blinding the macro. \n\nChina has a 100 year plan. \n\nXi will continue to execute that plan. \n\nThis is not a political discussion. \n\nIt is geo-political. \n\nIt is an observation and my opinion:\n\nChina makes headlines beating COVID-19, TWICE and makes the US look weaker and weaker in the process. \n\nWIN-WIN\n\nNo matter - commodities rage. \n\nIf you think I’m a tinfoil, lunatic - stop reading now. \n\nIf you are still reading this, you have chosen to take the red pill and to unplug from the Matrix. \n\nCongratulations - you now have your eyes opened. \n\nThose of you that cheated and kept reading, not believing - forget all the China talk and ask yourself this:\n\nIf 50% of the Biden plan gets passed, how much steel and steel-related jobs through manufacturing and labor will there be?\n\nA FUCK LOAD. \n\nAs the great Journey says:\n\n“Don’t Stop Believing”\n\n-Vito"

The one-day drop was the stock’s worst since March, when it finished down 18%, but that was amid a broader market rout when the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.61% tanked 12% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.93% had its worst day ever with a 12.3% dive. In comparison, the S&P 500 was only off 0.6% Friday, and the Nasdaq finished down 0.9%.\n\nOther than the March 16 rout, Intel shares have only seen worse days three other times over the past 20 years, two 18% drops in 2002 and a 22% drop in 2000.\n\nLate Thursday, Intel said it was delaying its 7-nanometer line of chips by at least six months because of a “defect mode” and that it may have to resort to a contingency plan of using “somebody else’s foundry” to make them. In chip parlance, nanometers, or nm, refers to the size of the transistors that go on a computer chip, with the general rule being that smaller transistors are faster and more efficient in using power.\n\nAs a result, shares of AMD AMD, +16.50%, which already sells 7-nm chips, soared 16.5% to close at a record $69.40, only the second time AMD has ever closed at a higher stock price than Intel. Meanwhile, American depositary receipts of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. TSM, +9.69%, which makes AMD’s chips, rallied 9.7%. to close at $73.90.\n\nIntel, on Friday, shed $41.54 billion in market capitalization, putting it far behind Nvidia Corp. NVDA, +0.63% in the previously close race for most valuable U.S. chip maker. Nvidia shares finished Friday up 0.6% at $407.78 for a market cap of $250.78 billion, versus Intel’s $214.2 billion."
