It's actually interesting to read. It is a different narrative than most on this forum would push: that we (US) are so much worse off on CC debt now than I'm the past. Simply not true based on the article. I would never have chosen the right ...

Every single FF poster who has ever mentioned US stagflation as a "real" and "present" situation (here in early to mid 2024) needs to read this......and then stop posting about stagflation :-P

The headlines aren't pushing ANY outlook, are they? Just stating lagging figures.

But that kind of news doesn't make headlines (sarcasm). When a number in Feb is realeased and shown to be -0.8%, then revised to actually be -1.1%, how can a revision in March from 0.6% up to 0.9% and an April number of 0.7% show a May number lower ...

^this, this, and MORE this. Data is a cause of volatility. Vol causes movement. Traders like (or SHOULD like) movement. Bankroll management > reading the data correctly. For all we know, this could get revised and next month a bloodbath ensues. ...

As we all look at the prior prints of this figure, we clearly see why the FED doesn't take data in single-month releases. Feb 2024 was way worse than this, and it "rebounded" soon thereafter, right? Seeing spending curbed is a great sign for the ...

The guest said it right just below your comment. Sarcastic or not, the media recently has been impacting the term "staglfation". Before we get all out of place here, let's recall what that ACTUALLY looked like back in the 80's when it happened. High ...

....just beware the adage: "The market can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent".

Haha. I mean, at some point you'd think it has to be considered, right? But when was the last 4-year period in which the debt was reduced? 1960s? While I am not at all a fan of extending the debt at the current pace, it's not like there will ...

Ahhhhhh, so it was the CHICKEN EGG demand reduction that caused the movement. Now it all makes sense I agree that the lack of a hundredths place in the decimal for these numbers has a hefty impact on how good/bad things seem. I don't know ...

As Tesla rejoices.

That was the first thing I noticed too, but even with the revision, the two-month was basically "in line" rather than "better than expected". It must have been a combo of the revision plus an independent part of the report, a focus of market makers, ...

My thoughts exactly. Not to say the end of day won't be exactly where the initial move took us, but it goes to show that even if you had the numbers YESTERDAY you might not be able to make the proper directional guess/trade. Must have been details ...

CPI is tomorrow...I think you meant PPI....though CPI probably will as well (but your guess at the market reaction to such news is as good as mine...what SHOULD happen, doesn't always transpire)
- ffghost commented May 14, 2024
Yikes. The week from he** starts off with a bang. Going to be a rough CPI by the looks of this PPI report

Not to mention the that this is old news, isn't it? While perhaps slightly different polling, Fridays UoM inflation expectation figures showed an increased expectation. This reaffirms that survey, but doesn't have the shock value.

Next article: "Netflix rumored to have paid $2M for a return to the scene in order to boost views of 'Dumb Money". [This is a joke of course....so don't trade off of it!] It is funny to see how much the culture still likes to gamble though. GME up ...

Hasn't the glaring wealth division ALWAYS existed though? I'm going out on a limb here, but I am fully willing to bet it is better today than prior to the massive government overhauls in the first half of the 1900s. Equality always fails. The ...

(not directed at you Vancarbon): For those who share similar beliefs, let's put things into perspective....life is all about managing risks and time horizons. Think of the WORST periods of the market (and your favorite currency). How "bad" was it, ...
