What are your thoughts if Trump trys to stop trading with these other Countries. I don't think Congress can stand bye and allow that to happen.
I have no idea on the legality of it. But it seems like it would get a lot of peoples attention quickly.

If he ends trade with every country we have a trade deficit with.
1) Trump bloviates. You know that. He is most likely jawboning.

2) If he is serious, he will do it in a way that does not crash the economy. Trump judges his legacy by the economy. He isn't going to crash the economy on purpose.

Trump couldn't give a damn about his legacy, he cares about his money and manipulating the stock market.

He isn't even really trying to hide it anymore.

I think the interest rate hike was stupid. Inflation has ticked up because of oil/war. Consumers are primarily concerned about the cost of healthcare, housing, and groceries. Higher interest rates don't help any of those things. If anything they make the cost of consumer & corporate borrowing higher while also increase interest on the federal debt.

The fed says the economy is strong and strengthening and that we're near full employment. That interesting since libs on this board say the exact opposite.

For everyone keeping score, there is now only a 40% chance of 1 rate hike this year.


BOA adding to their already ****** reputation. Some of us sniffed that bullshvt out.

Are you going to apologize to BoA, and all the other folks you insulted? They're anxiously waiting for quietpiggy to tell them they were right.

I was wrong. I read Warsh wrong. I think it was a good valued bet and I’d make the same bet given the situation.

But I was wrong. Will adjust my Warsh meter going forward.

Explain how this was a Warsh-specific outcome, apparently separated from some "economic reality."

That was never the claim.

The claim was that the odds were good he may chart a different course. I was wrong. It was 85-15 or 90-10, i liked the odds. Was wrong. Will adjust my read going forward.

So, you say it wasn't the claim, then go on to explain it in terms that support it was the case. Whatevs. Not my problem. But the board will be pointing and laughing for the foreseeable future.

You may have to tap into more of those illegal trades to get you back on track.

Market is shaking off the interest rate hike and forecast of another hike later this year.

Tells me the market views the rest of the economy as strong. Earnings have not deteriorated yet and the market may absorb this hike very easily if that perception continues.
