Stock market is up tho:ohhh: by quite a lot today. Those CPI numbers do not scare them anymore.
It was kind of expected numbers were going to go up. I think Powell hinted at it as well through the month.

At this point it’s obvious Trump is a buffoon so the market factors that in and doesn’t care.

It’s irrational, but also A.I has so much potential that it has more influence.

Purchasing power goes into the toilet. $20 for some eggs that the other side conveniently instantly forgot about.
I worry that everyone who doesn't have physical assets (Real Estate, gold, silver) is going to get locked out completely once this really hits the fan. They really don't know how to fix this thing.

Crypto and Stocks are a hedge against the upcoming stagflation too but it's no telling how they're going to move day to day/week to week once things get ugly after consumer spending hits it's limit. Not that many people have surplus funds to park there in the first place.

:francis: That AI bubble might burst within the next year or two. Trump already shuttered the only power sources that were keeping pace with AI demand.

i mean they’re going to be attaching these things to nuclear reactors. Also got to account for countries like China who are new to the Semiconductor and Chips space and may take on the outsource or build more efficient tech.

We’re basically in the 1980’s and Taco Bell is starting to expand. That’s how early the A.I timeline is.

see, the problem is that doing so would take TIME... Current predictions give up maybe 3-4 years at best.

Can you explain though. Why would they cut rates and worsen whatever situation we’re in rn?


Why would a rate cut worsen anything? I don’t believe it will, and I also believe a rate cut will
SAVE Trumps economy and that’s why so many people are against it.


Ask these dudes pretending they know about inflation, stagnation, and whatever else tion they want to use, one question: How do you pay for the deficit without cutting interest rates?

Like most things on the stock market:

You don’t put money you’ll need in 3-5 years into the stock market.

That money investing over 10+ years though? That’s all right on time. That’s what investing is. I put money into the A1 A.I companies and there’s a big chance most of them are coming out big in 10 years. If I own the stock I’m not interested in TSM, NVIDIA or Meta’s price 3 years from now. I’m looking at what it’ll be 10+ years from now.

:francis:your too optimistic, look at what happened when the dot com bubble burst.

the whole Silicon Valley AI hype train is repeating that, overpromising while underdelivering. :manny: China has also been dropping open source competitor models that have been tearing the hell out of stuff like Grok and Chatgpt.

Wan for example is looking pretty decent regarding video generation, and thats alibaba tech that you can run with consumer grade equipment :patrice:

It’s not the dotcom vaporware nor even crypto though.

This is legit tech enhancing people lives, making software currently impacting the real world, in some cases replacing people and that’ll only happen more. Every single day this stuff has been getting used nearly the last three years. Every day.

The powers that be (rich people) only want this stuff better. It’s better to have money on it than bet against it imo.

Crypto has no utility, I imagine it will collapse again. Stocks, if you're invested in the right companies that don't collapse, you'll do well too. The unfortunate thing is, small businesses are going to get destroyed. Like wiped out completely, only further making this climate worse.

Less competition is ALWAYS bad.
