Futures are deep deep red…

perhaps it is the nonsense that the media has memory holed how it began, coincidentally near a level 4 virus research center, and now that evidence strongly suggests it was leaked from there its just water under the bridge to the media who dont want to somehow be accused of being racist for simply suggesting the Chinese communist government is evil? that nonsense
So what makes it all fake?
 
Which is why CNBC is wrong

Not sure if serious. You'd be surprised if so... There's not enough proper finance channels on TV and everyone doesn't have access to Bloomberg TV or Blooomberg terminal, FT, WSJ, Credit Sights, Barclays, Moody's as an online source so what do regular people (non-finance nerds) revert to? Ah, you guessed it..... CNBC

Most of my very wealthy clients in investment have it on all the time

You’re missing the point. I watch CNBC every day (or we at least have it on). But never would I rely on CNBC to tell me whether or not a recession were imminent.
 
Lowering the deficit by $1.5 trillion in 2022. Largest net deficit reduction. Interesting stat
Also had multiple quarters in a row of restrictive gov't spending, which was a major reason why the economy retracted in Q1. Yet why is 90% of the media and most ppl crying about uncontrolled spending.

Because we’ve been spending out of control for quite some time. 20 year war and government handouts (foreign and domestic) will do that. A few quarters of reduced spending won’t fix the issue. Has to be a long term commitment.
 
Hedgeye advises hedgefunds managing $T in investments. They got me out before the market fell much. They offer a subscription for retail invertors like myself. I have been a subscriber for several years. I highly recommend.

Which of their products do you subscribe to?

It’s been uncontrolled spending for 50 years
 
I trust nothing. I have always assumed my 401k’s would be at $0 when I get to an age to use them. My kids have gubment and/or Union jobs so I’ll just live in a camper in one of their backyards…

In 2 years we will have over $1 trillion a year spent on interest alone to the federal reserve for printing our own money. You could cut out say all military spending and our debt would still grow each year.
 
I’m not quite as confident. Democrats have something to motivate them to show up now.
Not too much damage has already been done by the left. People see it. They are losing the black and Hispanic votes now bigtime. They don’t get that they lose bigtime

Dollar Dominance Rips Through Every Market on Fed, China Risks
  • Greenback hits fresh 20-year high vs yen, up 1% vs Aussie
  • U.S. inflation data may pose correction risk: Monex’s Harvey
By Ruth Carson and Naomi Tajitsu
(Bloomberg) --
The dollar strengthened against all of its major peers as China’s Covid lockdowns, accelerating global inflation and the worsening economic outlook boosted demand for the U.S. currency as a haven.
A gauge of the greenback advanced to nearly a two-year high as a slump in China’s export growth underlined concerns about its economy and the risk to global supply chains. Adding to the dollar’s attraction are risk aversion from the war in Ukraine, higher Treasury yields and the hawkish Federal Reserve.
The dollar’s rally is sending it to new highs against many of its global counterparts. The pound slid to a fresh 2020 low, the yen dropped to the weakest since 2002, while India’s rupee slumped to a record.
“It doesn’t look like this trend will turn any time soon,” said Chris Turner, head of currency strategy at ING Groep NV. “You’ve got the Fed, you’ve got the renmimbi and you’ve got Europe, and it’s hard to bet on any of those issues changing in the near term.”

The U.S. currency climbed as much as 0.6% against the yen to 131.35, its highest since April 2002. This helped push the Bloomberg Spot Dollar Index up for a third straight day, extending gains after Friday’s U.S. payroll numbersdrove up Treasury yields, giving investors more reason to funnel funds into the world’s largest economy. U.S. Treasuries extended a slide on Monday, driving the yield on five-year notes to the highest since 2008.
Market positioning data shows the dollar is drawing in more adherents all the time. Hedge funds boosted long bets on the currency to the highest level this year in the week to May 6, according to data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission compiled by Bloomberg.

WATCH: Andrew Sheets, chief cross-asset strategist at Morgan Stanley, examines the dollar’s dominance over global currencies.
Many of the concerns about slowing global growth are being driven by China. The nation’s Premier Li Keqiang warned on the weekend of a “complicated and grave” employment situation as Beijing and Shanghai tightened curbs on residents in a bid to contain Covid outbreaks in the country’s most important cities.
China’s weak export reading comes on the heels of a report last week showed manufacturing activity plunged to its worst level since February 2020. Currencies linked with Chinese growth struggled, with both the Australian and New Zealand dollars slumping around 1% on the day.

Developing-nation currencies are also being pummeled due to the threat of funds being pulled from their stock and bond markets as U.S. yields rise.
“Fragile” emerging economies with current-account deficits including Turkey and nations in Africa are particularly vulnerable, said Alvin Tan, a strategist at Royal Bank of Canada in Hong Kong. A stronger dollar “encourages capital outflows from emerging-markets and tightens EM financial conditions,” he said.
Traders will next be looking to Wednesday’s monthly U.S. consumer-price data, given the pace of inflation in April is expected to slow in a Bloomberg survey. That could spark a re-think in the market about how aggressive the Fed’s tightening path will be, according to Simon Harvey, head of currency analysis at Monex Europe.
“All it takes a minor slip in the core CPI reading for markets to go back to the drawing board,” said Harvey. “Especially because of the aggressive positioning we’ve been seeing, it only needs one slip for markets to want to pullback in Treasuries, money market pricing and the dollar,” he said, adding a weak reading could spark a dollar retreat toward 130 versus the yen.

Who knew some guy named aler is a breast feeding expert.

What are your credentials there? Please let us all know how you formed your expertise on breast feeding.

…and never did I once imply that women can start, stop, and start feeding again. Never said that - but go on with your stupid take nonsense if it makes you feel better about your pathetic life.
 
If you need liquidity, I think you are exactly right RE: short duration CD’s. Ladder strategy so as one matures, another begins to take advantage of rising interest rates.

If you aren’t retiring for 10+ years and have your liquidity in order (ie you don’t need the money today), hold your nose and buy equities/index funds/mutual funds/ETFs/SMA’s. Buy quality companies with clean balance sheets that have competitive moats that can take advantage of the inevitable upcoming consolidation period. Buy companies that pay dividends, that have grown dividends consistently, but have a low payout ratio (ie not all of their free cash flow goes to paying dividends). They are out there and there is money to be made by being a long term holder of quality companies.

If you’re in your 20s - 50s and aren’t living paycheck to paycheck, there is a lot of $ to be made when you continue to buy and hold quality when times are tough.
What if you're 60 and about to retire? Insert head between legs?

Oh I agree. Just saying I was expecting it to be pretty one sided, prior to the leak. Granted, it leaked so early, who knows if our little attention spans will even remember it by then.
The actual decision comes out in June or july. States will create their own laws or the trigger laws will go in effect. In other words, it won’t be dying down. It is anybody’s guess on how much of it will affect the midterms. That might depend on his other things are going like the economy, inflation, Covid, Ukraine, etc.

It can both be true that it was a bad thing that killed people and also we shouldn't have destroyed our/the world economy over it. The media certainly played their part in stoking fear and controlling information.
