In first place the FED shouldn't had stimulate a frozen economy, just as the nemesis China is doing right now. It will hurt, but it will not cause a mess. What Powell did wrong was printing x5 the balance sheet and keep interests low for a year and a half when there was a supply chain disruption and Russia was threatening to invade East Europe. What Powell did was very irresponsible and short blinded. I don't think we should go down on interest rates, otherwise we will repeat 1975, but the FED for sure acted like there was no tomorrow, and also like there was no yesterday to take a lesson from... But deep in our hearts we all know that printing was just an exit scam...

Powell and the Fed are doing what they are supposed to do in situations like this…raise interest rates and manage the dollar as a reserve currency.

I don't think it's costing them $2 trillion in cap gains since most people never even pay capital gains since they roll the wealth into their kids inheritance and get the value reset at that new level without paying capital gains. Same happens in real estate. People know how to avoid the taxes

[@Rnankn]

I think the point isn’t what individuals do, as much as if the system isn’t adequately financed, their wealth won’t have much value, and their lives won’t be so great. If we destroy the system in an uncompromising effort to save it from itself, we risk causing the very thing we sought to avoid, but also end being much worse off.

[@steinarjonsson_]

Also, 94% of the Federal Reserve's profit is paid to the US Treasury. So higher interest rates = greater profit paid to the Treasury instead of taxes.

His denial to the first question as to whether people in his company are negative about what is happening in the econonmy is laughable and self-serving. Of course they are, or are delusional which is even scarier. Do you want delusional people handling your money? 2. One of the contributors of inflation was the huge Federal dollar give aways during the pandemic, which lowered the value of the dollar. During that time Sternlicht wasn't warning about the negative impact of this policy, because people were using the "found money to buy stocks, which helped make Sterlicht richer. 3. Of course the Fed got caught flat-footed when it initially called inflation transitory, but Powell he is such an easy target, but most intelligent financial analysts admit rates need to go higher another will be pain. If Sternlicht believes the Fed should pivot at this time, he is clearly in the minority. 4. His statement that he favors a split power structure with the Republicans winning the House &/or Senate because then the 2 parties will compromise and pass constructive legislation is incredibly naive as he has no appreciation of the polarization present that will only get worse. Witness the whitewashing and welcoming back into the fold of MTG

Because an economy is more then just gold. Aluminum, steel, cooper, silicon processors, farm land, oil, computer programs, etc all have real value to them that have nothing to do with gold.

[@williamtucker9767]

He’s looking at it as a multi billionaire which is fine. But for the average consumer we don’t see it this way. The market as we see it. It’s tanking. The labor force is strong. We have more jobs than we have available working fours to fill. Number two, the production rate of the United States and the world is plain and simple,. It’s an overstock warehouse. We have too much stuff and not enough consumption. It all stems from the aging workforce and the market is going down and will be going down over the next five years. In 2027, we will hit rock bottom. I don’t want to tell you this but this is the truth. It’s kind of like the Titanic. Wealth distribution will benefit the 1 to 10% on the top. The other 90% are going to be on the bottom. It’s the best scenario that I can give you. A lot of people don’t want to accept it, but it is the truth. As you can see in the market today, production has gone down inflation is still high. The people that can work and want to work are already working. Here in the United States we have at least 11 million people retiring every year for the next five years. So that’s an average of 55 million people left that are baby boomers. In England and France and Germany and all of Europe Russia China and all of Asia. Or seeing the same problem. So if you look at that the way I do. You’ll see stagflation . what we see today is an economy that is slowing down to a point. Where you can compare it to 1953. A lot of people would say well that’s the start of an upside in economies. But from 1953 until now, we went up the mountain . Ever since 1988 to 94. We have been going down the mountain as a society in the world. The glory days are over. If you look at it like this , You will see that I am right. Right now the market has raised everything up with corporate buybacks. Which raised the market to UnPresidented value basically mega bubble. With that being said, they’re losing everything that they invested in as corporate buybacks. If they would just cut production to the bare minimum. The market would readjust around 3.1% or the S&P at 3100. And start over again. My prediction is 2800. Before the stock market realizes the mistakes that they’re doing which gives you an economy based on 1946 through 53 in a production rate and a production of that as it was in 1953. I said problem that nobody wants to talk about is the 1% still wants the same profit margins that they had in 2018 2019. The sad part is they know it that it’s an equality gap parity. With that being said, the scenario that I said before The titanic. The rich on the top the poor people on the bottom there’s not enough boats to save everybody. This is how society will react. If you are not in the 1 to 2% at the top you will fail. You might survive a little bit but you will lose millions and billions of dollars over the next five years. By worrying about this shit problem. Right now what you need to do in my opinion. Liquidate all your assets pay off everything that you can and run it into stagflation. Idle your business or only on a small business mindset. Because the market and the economy are going to take you to the bottom anyways. So if you have an over abundance of stock hold onto it like in a warehouse. And when the market and the economy goes down you have an abundance of stuff to sell overtime. Now your profit margin will not be large but it will be steady. I’d like a mom and pop shop.
