Inflation, Interest Rates and the Economy for 2025

I disagree. I predict you'll win rookie of the year,
It's funny but the chances of one of us winning rookie of the year are infinitely lower than us predicting the stock market...

Any you guys watching the rivalry btwn tyreek and Noah lyles? tyreek ran a legit 10.10, possibly in the top few hundred fastest people that have ever lived. That's the level required to play high level football. Just beyond the comprehension of one of us...

I ran high 12s. For me to get to 11s even would have been a decade of training. High 10s just absolutely impossible. Low 10s forget it... im white

7k incoming sooner than i thought. Rate cuts will fuel it in the next 12-18 mo. Btc likely will get near the 200 mark i feel.

Probably will not invest in TSLA even if the stock gets to $200/share. I think it's sinking ship now.
It's a memestock at this point. Bizarre tug-o-war between the retail true believers and people who think they can stay solvent longer than the market can stay irrational.

Tesla is a car company that has cratering car sales, rapidly advancing competition (double-whammy: they will be buying fewer and fewer carbon credits from Tesla), loss of federal EV subsidies. And Elon. Elon.

The retail true believers would disagree. But I also think it's a car company. I would be surprised if share stay >$200 by the end of this year.

I remember 3-4 yrs ago Cathie Wood said her price target was $5-10k/share in 10 yrs. Maybe that still can happen, but I doubt it.

I was daily trading the stock but will no longer do that given how bleak the situation is.

Cathie wood has zero credibility for anything
 
These trade deals are basically terrible practically eliminating the global free trade advantages that have benefited all of us for decades, and now back to tariffs levels last seen in the great depression.

The market ai boom is so strong that these new lower than April tariffs compared to the psychotic April tariffs may not make too much of a dent in the economy and may get a nice relief move in the markets that the tariffs are only bad and not effing horrible.

The good news for Trump is many Americans for now are too stupid to know what's going on, a massive tax hike on goods to partially offset massive tax cuts for the wealthy.

Most voting Americans are stupid.

Congress is way smarter. Never in the history of major legislation has a major bill ever been passed before any mid term election or presidential election

Because the Congress knows Americans have very short attention spans. Most Americans forget that this big beautiful bill was passed July 2025 when voting in November 2026. We as voters should demand Congress stick their necks out and vote say September 2026 on a major bill after that Labor Day

Now that’s the kind of entertainment I would like to see with the voters and lawmakers. To pass legislation weeks before elections.

Of course lawmakers will say they are too busy campaigning which is a load of crap.

He told us he was going to do this. We all knew he was a shockingly bad dealmaker/negotiator. We had a whole first term of him burning **** down and doing a crappy job remaking things - and that was with the partial advantage of SOME competent people in his cabinet. I don't know why anyone thought a second Trump presidency with more sycophants and less competency would be anything other than chaos for the economy.

The good news for Trump is that many Americans voted for him anyway, because they got conned or distracted by non-issues or lesser issues like trans bathrooms or wokeness or Hunter Biden's laptop or immigration šŸ™‚ ...

I believe immigration and trans bothrooms are major issues.

I said immigration tongue-in-cheek, forgot the smiley, because it was WellBeDone's single policy issue that led him to vote for Trump.

Trans bathrooms, for or against, is a ridiculous reason to vote for someone. It's a non-issue manufactured by the 24/7 rage machine.
 
Well.. well... 7k S and P 500 in the next 6-12 mo being projected now..

Fartcoin is worth $1.5 Billion. Nividia is 8% of the S & P 500 and 5.5% of VTI. The Mag 7 are worth over 30% of the S&P 500. Near high historic valuation metrics....nvm Debt...nvm. Demographics...nvm. Record numbers of Americans just scraping by...nvm. Buffet and Burry dumping stocks.

I'm optimistic about the ai boom going forward, but I pay zero attention to these analyst price targets and buy/sell recommendations. They are the closet thing to meaningless. No one has ever outdone the market by following them.

Conservatives and liberals vote on issues like abortion , trans etc. you won’t ever get either side to be swayed on way or the other. Regardless if Mickey was running on the conservative side and Minnie running on the liberal side.

That did not determine the election. Plain and simple. Economy. Particularly the economy in the only states that mattered…the swing states and the electoral college.

So as strong as the maga base is. They are still concentrated in the heavily red states anyways. In the sooner takes all electoral college. Having 90% of maga voters turn out in deeply red states makes no difference in the election. Same on the liberal side with pro trans, pro abortion voting in liberal blue states. They don’t move the needle. They can be the most vocal. But doesn’t move the polling.
