Experienced long-term investors are aware that the market and economy have a tendency to bounce back over time, and it's wise for investors to be prepared for such a recovery. Speaking from my own experience, I continue to invest heavily in this volatile market and have achieved significant gains - my portfolio is presently up by 60%. For now, I'll keep a watchful eye on the situation and gradually invest in more stocks as opportunities arise

Accurate asset allocation is crucial, and some individuals use hedging strategies or allocate part of their portfolio to defensive assets for market downturns.

[@LanguagesWithAndrew]

That has nothing to do with whether or not the Fed should cut rates. The current rate of inflation (specifically CPI and PCE, which is a hair under 3% and trending downward) combined with some other variables (unemployment rate, PPI, etc.) are what determine that. Inflation is nearly where it should be, about 2%, and adjustments to the Fed funds rate have a delayed effect, so they don't want to wait until inflation hits 2% to cut - by then it's too late and we would be headed into a recession. They're right to cut now, and to cut aggressively (I expected 25 basis points but was pleasantly surprised to hear it would be 50, which I think is the right call).

You can play a lot of games with economic stats to create any kind of narrative you wish. There is a big difference between recaptured employment growth and net aggregate from when the employment rate was at a standard high or before it dropped like with Covid or from implementation of economic policies. You will always have problems when you try to manipulate the economy against free market exercise. This is what we have experienced over the past 4 to 5 years. The narrative of this video is assuming a lot of things which are political or ideological in nature that comes from the narrative of those in political office and the media which has its own bias.

[@wayneyeo186]

The Fed needs to think the rates affect 6 to 9 months out.. this drop, is probably about a perfect place to start. Corporations are the source of inflation. The only tool in the box to slow demand, thus the incentive to raise prices, is make it more expensive for consumers to borrow. Credit card defaults and delinquencies are rapidly increasing. Housing affordability is well beyond the reach of the median wage earner. Millennials are in their prime house buying phase, and greed at multiple levels is locking them out of their dreams. Multiple levels of fixes are needed, and a interest rate reduction is just one of them.

[@jay9220]

The real reason why the FED raised the interest rate and kept this rate at sky high is to let money from all over the world flow to the US. Simply explained, put foreign money in US banks and one earns higher interests. In return this money went into US stocks and US property. That's why the US stock prices have been so high recently (Sept 2024). Beside, by raising interest rate, foreign companies which have high dollar-dominated debt have been in serious troubles in the last one to two years. That's why the GDP of so many countries has been underperforming to the US GDP. Resulting the US as the best of the worst! But this game can't be played without limit by the US. Somehow the US will face the reality. Lower company earnings, low consumer spending, and no job growth. These things really matter. Some large US companies have been cutting jobs in large numbers very recently. When the FED needs to cut rate, money will flow out of the US. That's may why the US have been keeping the interest rate high for so long. It's a US Money Game at the highest level only. US can play this game because of the Dollar as safe haven. At least for now.
