Sorry to hear about your dad but glad he's doing ok! I'm trying
to move my dad back up to IL because he moved down near Knoxville,
TN to take care of his dad who passed last year, and now my dad is
constantly having seizures (6 in last 2 weeks). Doctors don't know
what's going on so he needs to come back to Chicago for better
healthcare but he's stubborn. Living "off the grid" isn't as
cracked up as people think.

5200 from 4100 in less than 12 weeks sounds asinine! 27% on the
hope that rates "might drop" next year doesn't make sense, none of
the economic stats even say they need to cut rates once. What makes
it different this time, seriously though? Everyone says it but is
there proof or evidence of this or just gut feelings from
everyone?

Good call Digi, I also noticed he avoided every question
regarding rates decreasing next year and just kept going back to
how inflation is easing up and hikes might be over, but he never
truly said "yes, rates will be cut at some point". He's gotten very
good over the last 2 years at being politic and not saying anything
that would cause hysteria or hurt his image. They really could see
turmoil ahead but they would never say that straight up, especially
at year-end. Everything looks amazing in our economy, why would you
lower rates? A 5% Fed Funds rate might be the norm going
forward.

I'm short and probably the worst trader to have joined this
community, I'm losing my ass. I need to never do another trade on
my own and just follow these systems.
Sorry for venting but this run has been so rough on me the last
few weeks...

Nonfarm payrolls came in HOT, unemployment dropped and hourly
earnings hit the forecast. Why in the hell would the Fed cut rates
when the economy is this strong? The markets make no sense
lately.
Posted by icecoldjones on 5th of Dec 2023 at 04:27 pm
They've already priced in 4 rate cuts for 2024 and I'm thinking
that the Fed has no reason to cut rates when the economy looks
strong on paper. GDP was just over 5%, unemployment is low, people
are still spending their money like Congress regardless of racking
up debt, why would they cut rates anytime soon? You cut to boost
the economy when in trouble, not just to appease the citizens who
want to refinance. Leave the Fed Funds rate at 5.5% for the next
few years IMO.
