The FED JUST HIT THE PANIC BUTTON ON THE ECONOMY!

In every instance in modern history every time the Fed kicks off its rate cutting cycle with a 50 basis point rate cut it's because of a recession or tough economic times. Why does everybody think it's different this time? Just because they're saying it is? I think it's much better to watch what they do and ignore what they say.

The economy is grappling with uncertainties, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

[@sharonwinson-m8g]

Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, but it's getting stronger compared to other currencies and things like gold and property. People are turning to the dollar because they think it's safer. I'm worried about my retirement savings of about $420,000 losing value because of high inflation. Where else can we keep our money?

[@tatianastarcic]

It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

[@Vincent-j8u]

The market is volatile at this time, But doesn't the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and low interest rates contribute to the current valuations? hence I will advice you get yourself a financial advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the share/ETF you focus on.

Indeed, you are correct! But on the advantageous aspect, economic downturns offer numerous prospects for ordinary individuals to create wealth from the ground up. Nevertheless, seeking guidance from an investment planner might be necessary if you desire a more assertive return.

[@Johnlarry12]

I fully agree and place great value on my advisor's role in guiding my daily investments. They excel in both long and short strategies, managing risk for potential gains and protection against market downturns. Their access to exclusive insights and in-depth analysis makes exceeding expectations a regular outcome. In the two-plus years I've worked with my advisor, I've gained over 1.2million dollars.

[@carolpaige2]

It is advisable to steer clear of cons that appear improbable. Seeking guidance from a fiduciary advisor can be helpful as they are highly skilled in their field and can provide tailored advice based on an individual's risk appetite. While there may be unscrupulous individuals, there are also remarkable ones with a positive track record.

I'd also add that we bailed out Japan. When the Japanese version of the Fed announced they were going to have to raise rates in July, the Nikkei dropped 30% in two weeks. So instead of them having to raise rates, we lowered ours to artificially reduce the spread between the countries. Why would we do this? US banks have been borrowing money from Japan at no interest for decades, and buying US equities with the proceeds. Called the Yen carry trade. If that blows up, so does every 401k, pension, but more importantly, every hedge fund, private equity firm who have gambled with borrowed money would implode. When this happens, Jerome Powell would manufacture some bailout to make sure his billionaire friends got bailed out.

Kinda interesting how you are being attacked in the responses for stating a truth. An interesting thing to note election-wise in all this is how all the people supporting the incumbent administration for election are all wealthy people who don't fill their own tanks or buy their own food. The recent Oprah interview with Kamala and the Swift endorsement are all shining a light on the disconnect of the current people in the White House from the average person. The middle class is disappearing quickly.

I heard a whistleblower came forward who worked in that system and she knew a lot about it. I’m sure you can find the same video - it was on KZbin.
