Notice how he leaves himself an out. When the recession becomes obvious, he can say the data changed. Fauci continually used  the same excuse for his flip flopping.

Just holding on until after elections.

Then it's going to completely change.

And they will blame the newly appointed Republicans for it.

Also, the stuff we import are no the primary drivers of inflation which are: Food, energy and rent.

I’m bearish on China. They seem to be heading in the direction of greater central planning which will kill any prospect for innovation and squander the wealth they accumulated from capitulating to capitalism.

I’m bearish on China  aswell.

They mass import energy and food Which just so happens to be the 2 things being wrecked right now.

Full of old people. 1 child rule so not many young people. The families wanted males as their 1 kid so not enough females to have babies = wrecked demographics.


As for rates I think the Fed gets to the 3.4%-3.8% and holds it. Normally I’d be calling for cuts but now at 9.1% i get the feeling it’ll be sticky and therefore so should rates. Meanwhile the market says in Jan the Fed will be cutting.

You’re right primarily because the rest of the world is even worse.

Yeah, I think this Summer is the last hurrah for the American consumer. Many are taking vacations because of Covid ruining the last two summers but by the fall the bills will show up and it’s game over.

US Fed calls for emergency rate hike meeting on Monday.

‘Inflation reduction’ bill has also been passed which approved $768B in govt spending.

Remember the part where rates go up, stay up and stimmy goes in over the top?
