Nobody knows what's really going to happen in the market. It's all speculation, estimates, and prior history to develop an educated guess. I've always found it quite funny when market analysts put so much weight into a sub 1% movement in employment, growth, etc. especially movements of 0.1%. LOL
Consumers are likely spending again because many prices have fallen and there are more deals to be had as many companies and manufacturers realize that they got really greedy and have had to pull back prices to order to move their products/inventory.

I also disagree with the "greedy manufacturers", they have always tried to get as much as they can for their products, they are paid to sell, maximize profits and raising prices when they can is part of it. Prices go up with demand going up, come down some amount with demand dropping, there isn't some changing mentality based on greed.

So how much cash does everyone have?
I'm at 7%. Probably staying put for the time being. Been trimming big tech pretty constantly the past 2 months or so... |

About 6%. Still mostly invested in S&P 500 index funds (70%), Berkshire Class B (15%), and then various other mutual funds, bond funds, stocks, and cash. Pretty much the way I've had things for since 2017. I don't plan to change anything.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/23/mort...mer-highs.html seems like the fed's narrative has changed so yields are reacting already and yet again... the good old average consumer gets screwed

On this day in 1929 was Black Thursday and the market dropped 11%. On this same day in 2008 was Bloody Friday when we had a worldwide crash with most indexes dropping 10%. Screw October 24th when it comes to the market. Things are looking fine today.

"Job openings slid to 7.44 million in September, down more than 400,000 from the previous month’s downwardly revised level and the lowest since January 2021." Sounds like people are truly delusional at this point.

Ok no P talk, but curious what the market will do after. If T wins the market will go up/down and how much Thu & Fri? If H wins the market will go up/down and how much Thu & Fri?
I feel like the market has already priced in T winning. If that happens it may go up a little, 1-2% for the Dow & S&P, 3-5% for the Nasdaq. If H wins I predict the Dow & S&P down 3-5% and Nasdaq down 6-10% over the end of the week after.

Market usually likes split government best, so if T wins, a D congress (or at least D house or Senate) would probably be good for the market. Same if KH wins, a R in either the house or senate majority will be welcomed by markets. Generally true, personally I don’t see a reason it won’t hold true this year. |

During Biden's only term (as president) the market also went up but by a lesser amount. 11.9%. And I recall prior to Biden's election win the word was the markets would drop considerably. 20% or more was bandied about. I stayed in the market during both Trump and Biden terms. Investing based on politics is not a good idea. |

Today’s markets underscore that the economy (and specifically potential FED action) is a much bigger driver of market movement than the election.

As Powell ignored Trump's request in 2020 for negative interest rates, I doubt he will last beyond his term. But that is mid-2026. He can make a lot more money, with far less aggravation, in the private sector. Most economists are predicting that widespread tariffs would induce significant inflation, so I'd recommend strapping in for the rollercoaster ride. What would you like to see? Higher rates? Lower rates? Or remain at present levels? And why? This question is for everyone, not directed solely at ASAP.

while inflation has dropped; prices are still far higher than before... housing is thru the roof, as are interest rates and employment is slowly but surely faltering... the s&p seems to be thriving on hopes and dreams at this point... if we do get tarrifs and tax cuts... technically this will cause even more inflation... and you and i both know there will be pressure to reduce rates.... party irrelevant there is no good future fix unfortunately that will be easy
