I’m hoping for lower interest rates on my mortgage, which would reduce my monthly payments and give me more disposable income. While a rate cut could lower the interest on my savings, I’d still keep some in the bank for security but consider shifting part of it to higher-yield investments. Lower rates might also make borrowing more appealing, but I’d carefully evaluate these options based on the broader economic outlook and my personal financial goals.

Would you still keep your savings in the bank? Yes but only a small sum for emergencies, most of my cash are being allocated to other vehicles that generates high yields, gotta put those idle money to work

I think FED will start with a 25bp cut, the mkt may dip first (as the expectation has been priced in) followed by positive sentiments driving up the mkt. With rate cuts in the horizon, I will consider keeping some funds in high yield interest rate account that offers promo cash rebate as well. My balanced approach includes low risk investments.
Kamala Harris is leading Donald Trump in multiple post-debate polls, with The New York Times giving her a 49% chance of winning against Trump's 46%. FiveThirtyEight places Harris at 47.1% and Trump at 44.3%. On Polymarket, the world’s largest prediction market, the race is tighter, with Harris at 50% and Trump at 49%. Polls have often been used to gauge election outcomes, but their reliability has come into question due to une...

50bp rate cut could spur 'dramatic' yield curve bull steepening, hurt stocks: economist" data-render="ssr Fed needs to let the bond increase in attractiveness to unload them to invstor.

Warran Buffet once said that S&P 500 index fund is the best investment to own for most people. He also said that after he dies, 90% of his wife's inheritance will go into the low cost S&P 500 index fund. Let's face it - stock picking requires a lot of time and skills (and some lucks of course) Hence, ETF has become an increasingly popular investment option with its various benefits such as diversification, self adjusting and low cost etc. I started my investment journey i...

Are you confident in USD ? If Fed wants to trap your money invested in US companies, what will they do? Haris wants to increase the corporate tax from 21% to 28% and raise personal tax to milk the rich to feed the lower income. These are terrible news for US companies. Profit will be affected, so the dividend will be reduced. Share price will be in limbo. I am not trying to pour cold water. There is risk involved in buying S&P 500 too. Suggest you go slow. RSP in slowly. Year 2024 and 2025 should have big movement.

Thanks for the comment. If you look at history, there is little evidence that stock market will react negatively towards corporate tax hikes. Study shows that during the five prior corporate tax rate increases in 1950, 1951, 1952, 1968, and 1993, the S&P 500 index posted an average calendar year gain of 12.9% with positive price returns in each instance. Over past decades, U.S. companies have been able to generate substantial earnings growth in different tax environments, including periods of high corporate tax rates. I guess this is what the great investors say - Never Bet Against America! Having said that, it's important to know one's investment horizon and always keep some bullets so that during market pullback, we will be able to get some good deals in stock markets including the ETF =)
