The bloodbath from the last 3 days is a bigger deal than Japan’s market response today. This could simply be the temporary Bear Bounce. And yes we’re in recession. Biden redefining that changes nothing. The stock market doesn’t need to tell us that but since the little people are struggling to afford anything a potential crash of the economy could be devastating. No one has answers. And Harris is hiding. What’s your definition of a recession? Links to the data that support this? Are you shorting everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm holding steady on my investments. No panic here. My spouse will appreciate my investments when I kick the can after the next TBass miss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The independant Fed and the Supreme Court have proven remarkably capable of not bowing to political influence. Regan vs Paul Volker is the best example. Presidents are always going to want lower rates, but the Fed has a dual mandate, and neither of those goals is political. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nearly always conflict between the executive and the independant fed. Fed governors and ex governors are interviewed constantly. It's one of the few things left that works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2022 because Ds were going to get crushed in the mid terms the definition was redefined by Biden who called the economy “in transition.” The traditional definition is 2 straight quarters of negative growth - this happened in 2022 and the media and Ds lied about it. There is a now no such thing as a recession to them. Until a Republican is in office. GDO, GDI, GDP all down - Americans can’t pay bills. Unemployment is now up half a point - another sign we are in one but this won’t ever be acknowledged - until an R is in the WH then we’ll report how awful the economy is. If they argue the traditional definition didn’t mean one in 2022 that’s it - there is no longer debating this with them. They lie lie lie and lie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Fed doesn't meet expectations of some inter-meeting rate cut before their September meeting you can bet the farm the market is going to throw another big downside temper tantrum. I'm holding lots of cash now along with some patience to wait it out. I will buy that dip too. Fed better be right. He was appointed by the orange turd.

Big Blitz Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 (edited) 1 hour ago, 4th&long said: No not even close to doing “this” right. These are the same people telling you to vote for Harris because. And the economy is awesome going on 4 years now. Everyone feeling great? Bear bounce today recovered 20 percent of yesterday’s losses. What are we down the last 3 days now? I’ll tell you - over TWO THOUSAND POINTS But I’m rooting for disaster. Het low infos - the disaster started in the spring of 2022 as inflation spiked. This is going to be YEARS. Prices aren’t coming down. Your REAL income is 30 percent less than what it was in 2020. Embrace the suck. Edited August 6 by Big Blitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
