I voted for Musk to go cut government waste, everywhere, including defense spending. I didn’t know republicans would refuse to listen to him and that the dems lies and smear campaign would be so effective. I wanted the current tax rates to remain, not go down, and spending to be slashed. Didn’t turn out that way. But again it’s a binary choice, Harris would have been much worse. Here’s your choice, bad or terrible, choose…

I hate the political system as is, pay DC representatives a couple million a year, never let them take direct money from anyone. That would go a long way to get rid of lying corrupt politicians.

Look at the chart of the dollar, bonds, and stocks right now. You and Bones have predicted the exact opposite of that everyday for months. It’s absolutely fine to be wrong, I’m wrong all the time, I’m human. But traders need to be able to admit when they are wrong and, as hard as it is, be ready to flip their position in the opposite direction of their opinion if price action dictates.

Be right about something “eventually” is nice for message boards but it means nothing for trading. Trading always has and always will contain a timing component. We can argue if time actually exists or is a figment of our imagination if you like, but it’s imperative in a trade.

You remember 2008? I was trading non stop that year. Congress refused to pass the “save our butts” bill, markets crashed even further instantly. Then and only then did they act. It’s obviously not good, but I’m afraid financial markets will have to force DC to address debt.

They can’t get elected by preaching austerity, they have to have something to blame for raising taxes and cutting spending. My number is pretty clear, if 10 year yields go above 5% and the government intervention to keep them below that fails, then people will have to act. Until then they will just enjoy their 401k balances going up everyday.

I’d be in favor of cutting all government spending by 1% across the board. So that would include defense, but we all know there is waste in there. Then continue to cut by 1% a year going forward until things get back in order. By cutting everything, no one can complain about playing favorites. Do we really think a government agency can’t survive on 1% less than they got last year?

Every fiat currency has blown up, this is a fact. Theres nothing wrong with fiat other than its abused.

How America defaults is through inflation, like any banana republic.
You've got four ways to deleverage, and looking at Trump's made-up economics, it's going to be No. 2, just like all banana republics go.
You can't outgrow the debt when it goes over 120%. What happens, like Japan, is growth and futures disappear.

Gotta love math. NVDA up 47% since tariffs? Which round?

NVDA FELL 40%+ from the start of tariff nonsense back in Dec and then rallied, with the rest of the market to highs/new highs. That's like withdrawing half of the money from your back account, taking a screenshot of the balance, depositing it again and the saying: "look, I have 100% more money now!"

You wouldn't have had "more" without making it less first.

But I digress. No one can argue the resilience of the US equity markets. Even I am impressed with the speed of this recovery (and now, having said that, is probably the EXACT moment of markets topping

).

Late July > Oct hasn't been very kind to us over the past 10 years though. Some of the larger pullbacks (even after run ups) have occurred during this period. Having sung "wake me up, when September ends" too many times of late, I, for one, will remain "long", but intend to reduce risk and avoid another potential 5-10% drawdown.

Cuts are coming....September is likely the first we'll see them though ....so only 200 more tweets about "fed should cut" between now and then I guess. Oh, and the obligatory dissention/mixed voting on cuts in July to pave the way for a Sept cut will no doubt have the president saying "see, others want to cut...Powell won't!" (as if the FOMC decision wasn't a vote)

This type of innovation has occurred before, many times and hasn't always worked (printing paper money was a disaster for Weimar and Zimbabwe), but sometimes it has led to economic expansion (and war - Napoleon stopped gold convertability to fund his wars).

The US can only do so much with its budget without cutting bone. It cannot cut its defence spending without triggering a terminal and messy end to the US as it currently stands (think revolution rather than evolution). The US leads the world in territorial situational awareness, which is only useful if it backs it up with THE dominant global military. IMO - this means the level of debt that the US can sustain could be much higher than the current levels, and what we see is pantomime politics. The US needs to flex now and then to prove its military might, and the other powers stay in check (why not drop some of the world's most expensive munitions on a mountain, using some of the world's most expensive planes).

I realise that this means I am suggesting that "this time it's different", and that's been said before, and then it wasn't. I'm bullish US in the long term, as long as it keeps military spending up (and uses Nato to keep the tier-2 military funding too), but I do not rate the current administration's ability to manage things in the short term.

My strategy is to reduce US exposure and rebalance widely, while in the short term, hedge sell-offs rather than buy the dip.

Why doesn't one of President Trump's Harvard educated economic advisors tap him on the shoulder or whisper in his ear?

There is of course room for improvement and I'm on team gold backed currency. I'm from the greatest country in the world fellow citizen. Its why the maple leaves, the snaggle toothed limeys, and 3rd worlders here hate us. Difference between you and I is you hate yourself to cater to them.

Its impossible to outgrow the debt interest & this is simple mathematics.
It's why Trump want negative rates. What comes after is huge inflation.

I’m talking long term implications.

Not a week or a month . The US has a massive debt problem , not the worst globally , however it’s compounded by the current economic policies .

Whether or not you’ve been programmed to foam at the mouth at the mention of President Trump, if you have the ability to look at basic, freely available data you can see the real story. Powell shocked the markets last Sept. of 24 with a 50 basis point rate cut a month before the election. At this time all inflation metrics were, at best, mixed. Some reads still coming in slightly hot. Hell, even most posters...

Trump will get his way. The FOMC will lower rates. Trump has many levers.
He will get what he wants, at whatever the cost to the US economy. But, this market will probably leg up after every rate cut.

You are a retard if you truly believe that by using what is effectively a colloquialism (referring to Powell since he is the chairman) that I think he acts single-handedly. But you know that’s not true, you just have to resort to common fallacy since you had nothing of value to contribute.

Please look up straw man, then look into the mirror. Poor fella. Also it’s about time we coin the term for the Forex Factory fallacy. When you have no argument but feel emotional, pretend that posting with an account somehow lends credence to your post. Maybe the Vancarbon fallacy?

I laid out very specific details regarding the subject matter and all you took from it is I said Powell, the chairman of the FOMC, instead of the FOMC? Notice the very first sentence you chose not to change to bold font I clearly refer to “they”. But hey, maybe to a “progressive” guy like you “they” means something now. You’re a loser momo.

Nah, it’s a fallacy. At the very least a deflection. Aren’t you “hiding” behind posting from France since you claim to be from the UK? But also use Irish and Italian slang? And love adding a space before punctuation?

Be honored “big man”, I was only giving credit where credit was due. As you just proved before I could finish this post, you’re the king of the Vancarbon Fallacy. You should be honored momo tried to ape you when he had nothin to refute the meat of the argument. Also, you usually appreciate my craic so don’t get your panties in a bunch now. Despite our differences in opinion, you can normally make basic arguments and support them with data and words. Don’t meltdown into a momofromnyc simply because I don’t use a login. Like I say every time, can’t you refute the post itself, or do you need a poster to attack for ad hom?

Momo, I made my point very clear back in the first post, and you’re STILL clinging desperately to a very pathetic straw man. The name calling was reactive to this since you provided no argument, and thus there can be no ad hom. I promise it will continue as long your responses deem it necessary.

Awww look who just couldn't keep his word. Its momo. If that's your take on the situation then you must be deep on the spectrum; Hellen Keller herself can get a better read on the room than momo. If you disagree, momo, then refute my actual point. Van and I disagree but he made good counter points in his back and forth with 35. But you went and had an entire made up fantasy in your head where you "got me" by skewing my obvious point, misrepresenting my verbiage, and clinging to the angle for dear life.
