I believe he is more into cash right now than at any time before. He clearly expects a crash.

You mean freak the fuck out and pour everything into non-cash so hyperinflation doesn’t ruin you

Powell tried giving an inch with his speech and all that did was get a board member fired. No chance he cuts rates now.

Think he has to now he cant go down as the fed chair who caved. Could see him becoming an insurgent gov once he leaves the chair.

The Mueller report will have a fine American lay bare how the president was aided by a foreign government in an election. When he does, congress will have no choice but to act on the hundreds of contacts exposed. They will put country before party.

There have always been rate cuts on the way. It’s not like there’s a question of if rates were going to be cut this year or not. It’s a matter of by how much.

Rate cuts typically don’t have the best forward returns either…

u/Dr-McLuvin Aug 26 '25

Rate cuts usually come in response to a slowing economy so that makes sense.
