Retail Sales in Jan rose .4% headline m/o/m, .7% ex auto's, .6% ex auto's and gasoline and .7% at the core. The headline figure was less than expected while the rest were slightly better.

Great interview.
…I try never to miss an update from Elizabeth Warren, and this is the third time in recent days that I’ve read and heard her gloomy forecast for combanking.
Unsettling when one of the few business minds you trust seems unsettled. [facepalm]
