The market is under the impression of 5 rate cuts next year. It is delusional in believing the FED can do something it's never done before, engineer a soft landing. They will not, and the market is not listening to Powell. He has said 2% inflation target and a slow economy. According to the numbers, we are at 4% inflation and 5.2 GDP (that is booming, not slowing). So why is he going to lower? The only reason is because they broke something (banks, bonds, pensions, real estate, you name it - it broke). If you're rooting for a good recovery, you would root for rates staying higher and an economy that struggles but pulls through.
Sean wvwv : Still shorting Treasuries?
iamiam OP Sean wvwv : holding them, yes. it may be a few weeks before I'm positive again
but I think I ate most of the downside today. if it gets below 3.96, then I will reevaluate.
Sean wvwv iamiam OP : Can I ask why, is it because Japan is going to raise interest rates and go back to selling US treasuries? Thank you!
iamiam OP Sean wvwv : yes, that and I have a forecast of rates above 7% in the future. They go hand in hand. everything happening around the world, I believe, is inevitable. I believed Japan would always do this. We can see a boom
but that will inevitably be followed by a bust in assets. The world economies are playing the blinking game. Everyone is just trying not to be the domino that sets it off.
Sean wvwv iamiam OP : thats bad
iamiam OP Sean wvwv : I believe we are in a bubble 🫧
Sean wvwv iamiam OP : Thank you, I plan to buy tbt to short treasuries. Everyone's so crazy.
iamiam OP Sean wvwv : I wouldn't do it yet. don't jump in on expectation. I was up big and am barely down, plus I took profits, so i can wait it out. I would wait for the market to tell you it's done. it could go 4.98, or lower which wouldn't surprise me.
iamiam OP Sean wvwv : sorry, 3.92 is my lower limit
Sean wvwv iamiam OP : What do you think about the stock market? it reached a new high…
