But looking at how the market has been, I’m not too concerned. Not to mention, Powell will be out soon anyway. And...

They Can’t Get Enough of America

The Fed is almost certainly going to hold rates steady today. If they cut again, it would be a massive (though positive) shock for stocks. Even with them likely holding rates flat though, Powell flapping his lips at the afternoon press conference will still most likely send ripples through the...

Choppy Waters Ahead?

Volatility is back with a vengeance. What with all the talk about potentially acquiring Greenland “no matter what”, additional tariffs, and now threats from Europe about dumping U.S. Treasuries. So it’s no surprise that many people are seeing choppy waters ahead.
