Watch the market today

I want to retire early and have some SS walking around money. Send that market to the moon.

I can't be the only one who did a double take at this sentence.

I don't see a reason rates should come down. Even historically, a 7% rate isn't high. We aren't hitting recession panic unless Trump there's on wild tariffs for the long haul, and rates will certainly drop if that happens. The Fed was poised to drop them before he backed off of the tariffs.

Then we shouldn't have cut rates in 2024 when inflation was still closer to 3% and not the target of 2%.

I think the reactions have been completely unhinged though. Just looking through the comments here I see the words chaos, volatile, market tanks, etc. I mean, over April the market dropped 3.2% and has since more than recovered. That's not the end of the world.

That what was happening in the interim though. Objectively. Look at volatility index. Decision makers over the globe were spooked and it was a shite show. Likely there will be more to come. They feel great today. He'll say something tomorrow that will spook them back the other way. Everything will balance out in the long term but markets are overly emotional right now bc of the guy they can't get a read on in the White House. He may be working on 4D genius deal making but to everyone else he's a loose cannon. You can be apolitical and make that observation pretty easily.

lol. My bad that was a **** sentence. Find some hidden money in the couch cushions a decade + later is what I was going after.

I'm not a MAGA Trumper, but the fact that no media outlet, save for FOX or NewsMax will give him any credit at all for some things reeks of TDS.

He just got the last Hamas hostage free. Mainstream media====crickets.

THIS is the primary reason I quit watching ANY news, no matter WHO it is.
