Isn't this precisely what was planned to happen though? FED officials have been saying that things are taking longer. But, a gradually softening labor market coinciding with a gradually lessoning rate of inflation seems to be exactly what is ...

It is sometimes hard to have an open dialog with those of your mindset. Your response wasn't limited to one or words, however, and I sense at least a willingness to be more open minded than some on here, so will give it a shot. I won't disagree that ...

You've outlined the exact plan to bring down inflation. This is what is SUPPOSED to happen. The byproduct of "achieving goals" on inflation (that all pundits are blaming the fed for not achieving) has, since the beginning, been an INCREASE in ...

(haha, I agree with you) ...it's a 'failure' because "Japan injected cash to keep the Yen from speeding out of control to 200" doesn't make as good of a clickbait headline. The night the first intervention occurred, there was some really weird stuff ...

While I won't disagree with the reported figures, there are many more issues with IL/Chicagoland that could be affecting PMI than just the broad economic influences. That said, it will take a couple months of this level of data (across multiple ...

Haha. Regardless of whether addict was being sarcastic and agrees with you, trust me, it unfortunately won't be the last time you have to make these types of obvious statements That's said, there is always a "cost" of doing business. ...

Haha. There is certainly one used to determine who they call. After that, it is up to the respondents to generate the content. Of course, since so have never been called, I don't know how "leading" the questions are....which can impact things. If ...

While getting a bit off topic, I sense you are becoming a bit triggered, so I will attempt to elaborate in the hopes of calming some nerves (always a good idea on forums, right?) First, I do not agree that markets move inversely to the news most of ...

Not to diminish the value of your anecdote (because I, too, know of many in debt), the broader picture from the report(s) a couple of weeks back actually stated that FEWER Americans are currently maxed out than pre-pandemic. I can't dispute that the ...

Any evidence to justify this?

First, the sheer SIZE of the market(s) you are discussing is so much larger than can be "manipulated". Second, unless there are closet billionaires on here, no one cares about you/us in terms of trading...we are not even "insignificant" in size...we ...

That's a possibility. Another is that the slow retracement (not a break, just a controlled slide) back toward 2% gives them all the confidence they want to ease their way out.

It certainly wasn't a 20% pop like some other companies, but when you are the third largest company by market cap AND already near all time highs, a 5% up move is pretty decent. I agree that tomorrow will tell us how this news is actually digested, ...

Agreed to the "old news" commentary. In addition, FED reactions to all of the data since the meeting has been communicated ad nauseam. The minutes can serve to offer insight in lieu of such Intel, but, here, we simply saw some playful market banter ...

Sigh. Isn't it funny how ill informed the general population is? Fortunately, a large portion of the "majority" mentioned don't trade/invest. UNFORTUNATELY, at least some of them vote....and that vote counts the same as someone who knows the US ...

1 lesson learned over 25 years of doing this....sometimes contrarian positions don't pay the bills. The tweets we see are a tiny snippet of what is said. In most cases (if not all), it is in response to a media/audience question aimed at creating a ...

How long since the world economy has been highly interconnected and markets move in the same direction (by their very nature hitting/approaching highs all at the same time)? Pick your favorite index symbols and plot them on the same monthly chart. I ...

It's actually interesting to read. It is a different narrative than most on this forum would push: that we (US) are so much worse off on CC debt now than I'm the past. Simply not true based on the article. I would never have chosen the right ...

Every single FF poster who has ever mentioned US stagflation as a "real" and "present" situation (here in early to mid 2024) needs to read this......and then stop posting about stagflation :-P

The headlines aren't pushing ANY outlook, are they? Just stating lagging figures.
