I think the Market being up today was irrational. The criminal investigation of Jerome Powell is asinine. But I figured Trump going after the Credit Card companies would pull the Market to red.
This is why everything besides the Market is all white noise. The Market is what anticipates reality. Sure it will normally take a dip on unsuspecting News but it calms fast and gauges the reality of any situation.

Hey KC let’s talk for real here. Put aside your TDS and look at reality calmly.
You harangue about Tariff caused inflation which on some products I can submit you may “eventually” see some cost creep. De Minimis exposed items absolutely must rise. The TEMU sold items. But let’s move past cheap junk and onto larger more important items.
Give me tangible proof of cost rises on everyday sold and necessary products?
Ok we’ve established that you are retired and likely on a fixed income so you aren’t receiving wage increases. Those Nationwide increases just slightly outpacing inflation which is a good thing for those of us still working.
Do you count the Stock Market as an area that is outpacing inflation and should be included in American households?
I’ll speak only for myself here but I just received a 3% wage increase after gaining a roughly 15% increase in January 2025. On top of that as I’ve stated my 401k was on fire. All of that has to do with policies that Wall Street is very happy with. AI and cutting burdensome regulations. And of course Tariffs bringing in Capital commitments.
“We have the hottest Country on Earth”
Factories aren’t built overnight though and those factories yes will be minimally Human staffed but there will be Humans working there. All of that will transition us from buyers to producers. When you produce you gain profits. Profits that are shared with shareholders.
Shareholders are owners. Now of course the Market will bounce both up and down but already this year I’m up $15,000 and it’s only January 13. $15,000 in less than half a month. And BTW I’m just a simple blue collar worker.
Do you count Market returns as value? How’s your investments doing since President Trump retook his office?

December core consumer prices rose at a 2.6% annual rate, less than expected

The core consumer price index showed a seasonally adjusted 0.2% gain on a monthly basis and 2.6% annually. Both were 0.1 percentage point below expectations.
On a headline basis, the CPI posted an increase of 0.3% for the month, putting the all-items annual rate at 2.7%. Both were exactly in line with the Dow Jones consensus estimate.
Food prices jumped 0.7% for the month, though egg prices tumbled 8.2% and fell nearly 21% from a year ago after soaring previously.
Traders kept bets intact that the Fed would stand pat at its meeting later this month and likely won’t be considering another cut until June.

2 to 4% is ridiculous. That’s also why we’re paying more for products. Pretty much everyone uses a Debit or Credit card to pay for things today. These Banks will make more than enough if they are forced by Law to lower their fees.

Who makes up these charts?
Do they get their numbers from people who get fired if Trump doesn’t like them.
Where is your Pravda thread.
