    Trump says he’s removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook, cites mortgage fraud allegations

    Agree with @Visbek on this one. I can't blame this on the central bank. Like @Visbeck I think corporate greed is responsible for much of this. They are strangling our society by reducing unions, buying out family owned businesses, and collaborating to raise prices to our detriment.

    Trump says he’s removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook, cites mortgage fraud allegations

    My investment portfolios are in Merrill Edge. I routinely read their research reports. For about 2 years now they have been projecting mid-single digit returns for the next DECADE. They are now projecting short term gains and a temporary healthy market, but are sticking with their long term...

    Trump says he’s removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook, cites mortgage fraud allegations

    Why not foreign stocks/ETFs rather than US bonds? As opposed to VOO, VXUS? Do you think the world stocks will tank with the US stocks?

    Trump says he’s removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook, cites mortgage fraud allegations

    HaHa. I spent the last week with my sister and our families in the Georgia Mountains. I made us a crock-pot pot roast. The 6 pound chuck roast was $58. Chuck, one of the cheapest cuts of beef. (It did feed 6 of us with leftovers. And after cooking all day was damn good. And to be fair, I...

    Trump says he’s removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook, cites mortgage fraud allegations

    Thanks for the detailed response. I believe what you are discussing above is the so-called K economy. In general I agree with you that the rich are getting richer at the expense of "working people" (middle and lower classes). I also agree that the wealthy and corporations have little to no...

    Lutnick Hints at Taking Stakes in Defense Companies

    I don't see how it is that "Intel gave the government 10% of its stock for free". Maybe there's something in the agreement I don't understand. I read where the government could sell it's shares in a year. If all of a sudden, 10% of the shares are sold, the stock will take a dive.

    Lutnick Hints at Taking Stakes in Defense Companies

    Of course Lutnick, being a Trump toady, lies continuously just like Trump. So, take this with a grain of salt. This headline is from Barron's, a few excerpts are provided below. link Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, on Tuesday, opened the door to the U.S. federal government taking stakes...

    Trump says he’s removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook, cites mortgage fraud allegations

    I saw this in today's Barron's link “The Federal Reserve Board is in transition and increasingly shaped by Trump,” said Ed Mills, Washington policy analyst at Raymond James, in a note published Tuesday. “If Cook’s removal holds and Powell resigns after his chair term, Trump could appoint up to...

    Trump says he’s removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook, cites mortgage fraud allegations

    Perhaps you are right (that they are already political). But, I haven't thought of the Fed that way. Haven't heard discussions of that. Haven't read about that (although I read Barron's and the WSJ almost every day). Maybe I've just been oblivious to it.

    Trump says he’s removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook, cites mortgage fraud allegations

    On CNBC this morning they had a graphic of the 7 Governors and red or blue bars under each for the party that put them on the board. Steve Leishman said he thought it was the first time ever they had shown a graphic with the Governors shown by party. I hate to think that now the Fed will be...

    Trump says he’s removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook, cites mortgage fraud allegations

    By and large the MAGA aren't thinking people. The uninformed don't know about it. The greedy don't care. And the racists love it. The rest of us don't condone it. If the world market this morning are an indication, the world doesn't condone it. Both European and Asian markets are down and...
