OFFICIAL STOCK MARKET AND ECONOMY THREAD VOL. A NEW CHAPTER

So have I missed the SIGA train? I'm seeing they have earnings this week (the 4th?), think they could provide a catalyst for another/continuing run?
We moved on to APDN (posted this am in Covid thrd)

Still keep up with the markets, still trade for fun, glad to see shibadekobe shibadekobe back , already know he's having just as much fun as me in these market conditions too ($HKD ? :lol: :nerd:)

Love to hear it. Never too big for NT and come back and visit soon.

Enjoy NT fam!
 
I don’t think this is a bull trap. Prices seem too low and oversold. The large consensus that this is a recession is overblown if every single person is talking about it and unemployment is up. Previous recessions weren’t this talked about until it blindsided us.
 
I think a common mistake is people indexing YOY when they really should be comparing to pre-COVID metrics

No. Stop it. I've been begging for a market correction and housing crisis for 5 years. Don't stop it from happening now when we're SO close!

But even if everybody is talking about it, JPow will make sure a recession is here by next year. His plan (lol) is to guide the entire economy into a "light" recession and then start the money printer again to get spending going while inflation is in their target range.
 
What if companies keep making money and those that are laid off get another job quick or don’t want to work anymore?

The black swan event we are looking for is a imagination. We just had one 3 years ago. We can bring up Russia, China, etc but that’s not tanking the market the way we would want it to.

I just don’t see it if the above holds true.

Then Powell's dreams of a light recession will come true. If corporate earnings keep increasing then people who are laid off will be able to replace their income quickly; if the earnings slow down because govt or B2B spending slows down (in conjunction with higher interest rates) then labor replacement will slow.

People won't want to go back to work for lower wages, but when the bills come due, perception changes fast. So we hope inflation is slowed way down before the layoffs and lower avg wages start coming in. Thats the "light recession" JPow wants.

If he misses, and inflation doesn't slow down enough, the increase in unemployment and lower wages will cascade into bankruptcies and lost wealth. The fed stopped the literal one thing that was floating the economy for 2 years. GDP is down 1H22, so technically we're in a recession, and reality will catch up soon.

Layoffs are coming. Spending has slowed. Debt is defaulting. Companies will start failing soon. Sometimes all it takes is one.
 
The hubris of trying to engineer a soft landing recession.
They'll prolly Slow rate hikes till Sept then pause or even cut rates into Election Szn which is the start of Santa Rally Szn. Tom Lee/DTepper rip your face off rally setting up.
 
Not sure how much economic clout this guy has, but he has been suggesting things are going to get worse here shortly. Few other tweets that he's replied to and retweeted:

You dont think Sept has another 75 or 100bps hike? Especially if inflation doesn't slow and hiring/employment holds up?

Personally I dont see JPow slowing rate hikes if employment data and inflation keep holding steady (i know a lot can happen in 2 months tho). If he does slow the hikes to 50, or god forbid 25 bps, the markets probably will rip.

Now, if we do keep ripping, I'm okay with that too. Just need the housing market to **** itself before June next year. Sooo lets get a recession tee'd up and smack it into action in January :pimp:

My bet is .50 in sept. They'll cite falling inflation #s, cheaper gas, cheaper chicken wings, etc...Mission Accomplished(gwbush).
Fed will need to pause/cut rates and QEv.10 to keep this econ afloat (japanonomics101).
Need a blow off top for true recession hits.
