    First of all, this whole economic chaos was powered by optimism that the FED is done with hiking interest rates. Now that interest rate crash is the situation, where do we go from here? How would you advise I safely allocate $250k funds at this point?

      The market is volatile at this time, But doesn't the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and low interest rates contribute to the current valuations? hence I will advice you get yourself a financial advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the share/ETF you focus on.

      Agreed, my portfolio is well-matched for every market season yielding 85% from early last year to date. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take another year. IMO, financial advisors are the most sought-after professionals after doctors.

    Every crash or collapse offers an equal market opportunity if you are well prepared and knowledgeable. I've seen people accumulate up to $800,000 during crises and even pull it off with ease in a bad economy. Without a doubt, the bubble or crash has made someone extremely wealthy.

    Food inflation is 25%. Layoffs are starting at large companies. Many of our system reports are not truly accurate. Debt! Debt! Debt! Auto industry is collapsing along with the loans on them. Fed moves are temporary fixes usually building more debt & watering down money supply. Major investment & holding companies are close to big corrections. A lot of this is institutions playing the political game. Most of all, Americans are facing constant twisting of our Constitutional given rights. This is a disaster being propped up once again for an election year. Everything is gaining on Americans & we will need the best LEADERSHIP ever to get through these times!!!

Digital currency is how they will control the masses, the government will decide how much money we are allowed to have, what to buy, ECT. In other words do you want a corrupt government control your money.

      If Kudlow was such an expert, why did he lose America 15,000,000 jobs when he was Trump's economic advisor?
      As for Art, why couldn't he compare Biden's economy to any other President's economy (especially Trump who had the worst economy in our nation's history)? Because he couldn't. He literally had to cherry pick different data from different presidencies to compare to them to President Biden's economy. Think about that.
      America hasn't seen this kind of a comeback since Obama rescued us from George Bush's Recession and Clinton rescued us from George Bush Sr's Recession.
      That's all Republicans are good for, is leaving Americans in Recessions going all the way back to Reagan who also left the country in a Recession.

This is because the economy is heading towards a recession and inflation is persistently above the Federal Reserve's 2% target.

You know there are big problems in the economy and the trucking industry in general, which is been strong for many years is having massive layoffs today.. 65% of the American people can’t pay their bills without a credit card. Interest rates are still high, virtually freezing, the housing market, and the new car market. Used cars are going down in price because people are desperate and they need to raise cash. Fuel prices are down in spite of OPEC cutting production because the economy is collapsing. Government jobs are being made up Concealing the true unemployment rate. The government is about the only one hiring people today. The government is adding $1 trillion to the national debt every quarter.

Inflation is beating wages in the workplace more than ever before. Over the past 3 years I have seen Americans lose wages, jobs, and housing. I have not been able to recover from being laid off in the airline industry since the start of COVID. I went from making $20/hr in 2020 to $18.50/hr in 2024. Our rent, utilities, and expenses has only went up more.

    If we apply Occam’s Razor to this question, here’s my take. Remember first that GDP growth is adjusted by inflation. If the official inflation numbers are understated, which they seem to be, there’s the answer. Official inflation at 3%, actual inflation at 6%, and when you adjust GDP for inflation you get 3% GDP growth in a flat economy.

    2023 should have been the boom year. Everything should have been in over drive. But what happened was people spent the same amount of money that got them less in products. Personal debt is at a critical point. So people bought less on 2 fronts. The dollar purchasing power and less liquid assets.

I'm spending more money to buy less and that's why there's layoffs - fewer products are being bought so they lay people off even though the real dollar amount is higher only because of inflation. The amount of goods that are being purchased is DOWN not up. We spent more but didn't make more and got much less. We're actually down 15% -40% in real terms.
