I’m trying to figure out why the feds wouldn’t RAISE rates.
Because Trump and MAGA would bytch about it

You can't really have rational fiscal policy with egomaniacal white nationalist fascists running the country.
I’m trying to figure out why the feds wouldn’t RAISE rates.

There’s no reason at all to cut rates,
 Jesus take the wheel
 Jesus take the wheelIt was kind of expected numbers were going to go up. I think Powell hinted at it as well through the month.Stock market is up thoby quite a lot today. Those CPI numbers do not scare them anymore.
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.Purchasing power goes into the toilet. $20 for some eggs that the other sideconvenientlyinstantly forgot about.

I know bare minimum about the economy. probably just the basic. What do you think will happen if they drop the rates to what trump wants. I’m interested to see what people takes are on it. besides Borrowing being cheaper which is the normally the obvious.Jesus take the wheel

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.

Like most things on the stock market:
You don’t put money you’ll need in 3-5 years into the stock market.
Money you want to use in 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.
 your too optimistic, look at what happened when the dot com bubble burst.

It’s not the dotcom vaporware nor even crypto though.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.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
Trump will force them to carePeople only care about the economy if a Dem is in office
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.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.
