Title: Trump going after powell
Post by: Necrosis on January 12, 2026, 05:59:17 AM
How many more frivolous lawsuits will they issue?

How about following the law and stop lying about the epstein files.

I have a sense that this case will be more embarrassing then the previous ones against the three other opponents.

Embarrassing stuff, Powell has been excellent and is a man of character.

Only worry I would have is the markets but they seem to be holding up well.

The markets are a conundrum.

Keep waiting for the bubble, keeps going up.

Defying conventional wisdom.

I am wondering whether to bet big on it for 2026.

The market  value is largely made up of a few big "tech" companies

 A market in awe of  Big Tech is not concerned about the political independence of the Fed if it results in a zero interest rate policy.
Cheap money is more important to big tech than the health of the bond market.

When interest rates are high, speculative bets—ie Big Tech companies (who argue that scale matters more than cash flow)—are much harder to sustain.
So far there has been little scrutiny of their long term worth

I have always had aggressive positions, but have been mostly a "set it and forget it" type.   Now I have been exploring converting to more dividend producing stuff to create income streams, but I think I'm going to ride it one more year.

I might just throw the extra I was referring to into the usual ETFs, since I don't play individual stocks.

it's not frivolous but I feel there's others Bondi should go after besides Powell but I see why. Stop with the Epstein bullshit...it's only a distraction from the left because they have literally nothing else.
