Re: The Nation's Financial Condition
I guess I was NOT the only one who thought that Powell & the Fed were overly optimistic with their projections.
Good lord could
o d, who said “The Federal Reserve is wrong so often," he tweeted. "I see the numbers also, and do MUCH better than they do. We will have a very good Third Quarter, a great Fourth Quarter, and one of our best ever years in 2021.”
or his lackey
kudlow, who said “I do think Mr. Powell could lighten up a little when he has these press offerings. You know, a smile now and then, a little bit of optimism, okay,” he said. “I’ll talk with him and we’ll have some media training at some point.”
sound more pathetic?
With this lack of effort to help solve COVID or the economy, no wonder wall street threw in the towel today.
More layoffs and higher unemployment coming, but r's don't care...

What "lack of effort"? The scientists/doctors are diligently working on an answer for the virus. Everyone (perhaps not you for depraved reasons), including the POTUS you hate, are supporting them.
Pull the virus out of the equation and where would the economy be? Pretty F'ing good comparatively speaking...

There aren't enough YESmen, and this applies to whatever thoughts appear in our supreme leader's brain, as far as Trump and his team are concerned. They should all dress up in cheerleader outfits replete with pompoms and things would get back on track instantly. Heck of a way to face complex difficult issues, but who needs to be reminded of reality when we have a reality TV show to watch every minute of every day?

Re: The Nation's Financial Condition
So I am going to assume you live your values. Are you telling me that on 11/9/16 you converted all of your liquidity from equities to cash or precious metals? Is your 401k made up of cash only. Are you denying the pre-Covid numbers? Before Covid my clients were having a hard time hiring employees, so much so that they had to poach from their competitors by offering above wage scale hourly rates. And, for really good employees, a company pickup truck. The tide is out right now because of the pandemic, but tides rise and fall.

Re: The Nation's Financial Condition
We've had a positive rebound this AM from yesterday's disgust with the COVID incompetence.
Seems to me we'll continue to bounce around, sometimes feeling good, sometimes not.
But this what I think actually makes sense:
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/bewar ... =home-page
In terms of personal 'strategy', we do everything through a passive approach with periodic, automatic rebalancing of the portfolio, taking the emotion out of the question.
I was glad to see that automatic rebalancing kick-in when we were approaching what turned out to be the bottom of the equities driven by the pandemic response. I might have waited to go lower, but it turned out that the rebalancing caught the benefits of the big upturn since. I'm hoping the rebalancing will kick in catching the highs right now, which look to me so out of whack with Main Street, but the timing is all automated, not up to me and my emotions.
But please, let's be clear:
The "Nation's Financial Condition" is not the stock market...

I guess that you don't have children or grand kids, those generations are going to pay for the false propping up of the pre-covid economy. Why in the world did the r's not act like the financial conservatives of my and my fathers generation? GREED and desire for POWER.

Because Donald Trump signed three massive spending bills that totaled $3+ Trillion BEFORE Covid struck. And borrowed every single penny for it. Big government. The one thing that Republicans are supposed to stand against. And yet what was the reaction from your team, after screaming at Obama to cut government for 8 straight years?
You cheered. You cheered and bragged about how great the economy is when your borrow trillions of dollars, and pump it through the economy. Handouts that would make every the biggest lefty in the world say "wow, that' a lot of money for handouts". You're STILL bragging about how great the economy was.
At what point do American Republicans hold to their supposed values? Or have we FINALLY reached the point where you all admit that Big Government is what makes the American economy go? And that without it? Most of America would be screwed.
And Btw, better hope that Biden doesn't get elected. Because if he does, your man Mitch McConnell is likely to pull the exact same stunt he did with Obama....he's pass nothing. So not a cent more in spending. And then blame Biden for a "bad recovery" and for "hollowing out the military". And the Right Wing here at the Water Cooler will fall for it, and blame Biden instead of McConnell for not funding things properly.
Rinse. Repeat.
