I see the rising interest rate as a very big problem, as more investors will definitely pull out more money from the Stock market. This might have worked when I was still invest-ing with a couple thousand dollars, but it is more difficult now to decide whether to pull out more than $365k from my port-folio. I know some inves-tors still make that despite the strong bear market. In wish I could pull that feat

FED has two focuses inflation and unemployment and they are responsible for both which is why unemployment rising puts them in a tough spot

First time seeing this channel. You all are doing a great job.

It’s really like a currency issue. Most jobs created have been for migrants that are part time workers whom are living under government aid in shelters or government jobs that have no productivity and only causes more debt while full time workers that are citizens are falling because as they dedollarize international transactions by taking oil off the dollar, trading in local currencies, or dropping treasuries it raises the cost of consumption as it raises the cost of consumption there’s less profitability for businesses so a lot of those office jobs that are full time workers for citizen are going to end up being permanent unemployment because it’s not like everyone is going back under the dollar so the purchasing power of the dollar diminishes so despite individuals having wage growth their ability to consume has dropped & the percentage of the economy allocated towards consumption doesn’t change because as I said prior it raises the cost of consumption when they dedollarize so even though there’s less consumption by consumers the amount allocated in the US economy towards consumption hasn’t changed or may have even risen which means it’s a faster outflow of wealth which is currently standing last time I checked at around 71%

Ken, unemployment went up and so did jobs. Couldn't that be because full time jobs are down and part time jobs are up? People are being laid off and being replaced by part time jobs; or those laid off from full time jobs are going out and getting two or more part time jobs. Other analysts on KZread of the Feds reports say that is the case.

How does nearly a quadrillion in currency and credit derivatives affect the system also.

If the Fed waits to hit 2% inflation rate, has there been thought to what that kind of wait will do to pent up demand? Meaning, by the time we hit a 2% inflation rate, folks will have been on The sidelines so long that once the interest rates do drop because the Fed met its magical 2% number….the pent up demand hitting the market will spike the inflation rate again and perhaps very quickly and then 2% goes out the window again. So what’s the point of waiting to hit 2%???

3 month and 6 month spans that project to 2% over a year is one I've heard mentioned. So 1% worth of increases in a 6 month period for example. Powell says every meeting that they need to see it "sustainably heading towards 2%". That is what he means.

The rates are not coming down.

it’s a currency issue with dedollarization oil taken off the dollar and dropping of treasuries the cost of consumption increases the inflation rate which causes a faster outflow of wealth from the nation because it weakens the US currency strength and the US doesn’t manufacture what it consumes

Think about what an inflation rate of consumer goods and wages far lower than the inflation rate of currency actually means to citizens.

I'm curious how you can be sure something will still cashflow once unemployment goes up in a recession. Won't that mean a lot of evictions? And with stagflation like the 70s, people cant afford a car/maintenance/insurance/fuel to get to work so more people wont even be able to work if there are available jobs. People could end up living with family and reducing demand for rentals if yhey cant afford to work.

The thing people don’t get about inflation: For prices to come down the input cost to create any product needs to come down… the largest operating cost for most businesses is wages… so in essence wages need to come down… Wages don’t come down when you’ve a skills shortage and an unemployment rate

This whole thing is a circus, a stage show

Unless there are cracks in the banking sector or unemployment spiking significantly, then I don't see them cutting rates this week either. To avoid a repeat of persistent inflation or it coming back, you'd be so cautious to cut too soon (lessons from the 70's and early 80's). The cracks are showing in the lower middle class and poor sectors of the economy, but its not until you have the banks shake that the Fed or the Gov actually care. Cutting rates means more liquidity into the economy, liquidity translates into spending. Also... hard assets and ownership of high quality companies is critical as the Ai revolution picks up steam. When Ai takes full blown form in this country, you'll see unemployment spike like never before. So, the land owners and owners of companies will benefit the most. If you own nothing, you're in trouble. Gold is like hanging out in the penalty box of a hockey game, you're sitting on the sidelines missing the action, yet you can still potentially win.

Commercial loans is what’s going to bring the house of cards down this time. Adjustable rate mortgages only went away in residential lending after the 2008 crash. Commercial lending IS adjustable rate. I own apartments here in Ohio. I had a broker reach out to me and said he’s got a seller needs to get out in 6 months. His current rate is 3.9%. In 6 months his rate will go to 7.2%. Of course from a buyer perspective is “well I take it it’s not going to cash flow” or at least you Bigger Pocket guys love your 18% cash on cash returns and anything less you’re out 😅. If you’re not going to cash flow neither am I. See everyone over complicates things. And btw you need to lower your 2.2m to 1.5m for me to cash flow at 18% cash in cash or I’m not buying either. Pick your poison.

I dont see that happening. The Fed is reactionary and interest is going up. If they cut anytime soon then we have hyper inflation(great Depression) milk will be 5x the price. the only thing they can do is wait for unemployment to go up and stocks start dropping. Prob a few bank failures then they will start cutting.

The FED is increasingly Dovish and interest rates will dive, but for political reasons, not technical ones. That is all reminiscent of the 70s and 80s, with waves of inflation followed by interest hikes and premature cuts. The one variable that is different today is the level of national debts. Japans debt is 240% of GDP, Italys is 160%, many countries have 140% and so on. So fiscal dominance kicks in. I see this as a period of impoverishment of the middle / lower classes ahead and a challenge for those that did everything right to keep their purchasing power.

Nominal wage growth is up real wage growth (which accounts for all the money printing) is down and has been for years. The monetary system is on stilts right now.

How important is cash flow when putting no money down? If the tenants rent is covering the loan, expenses and some extra cash after everything’s paid, does a lot of cash flow even matter? Technically you’re making long term money from the rent paying off the loan and building equity. If you add potential appreciation to that, it’s even more being made. Your ownership of the house is increasing each year and you did nothing but take other people’s money.

Of course. Because raising interest rates doesn’t slow or reverse THIS kind of inflation. I say “this kind” because a pandemic, a shut down, a quiet quit workforce, a “stay home and stay safe” world, and of course the covid money for the population AND the companies is what drove this inflation. And NOT the same thing as say the early ‘80s inflation.

Interesting that house prices and stock markets tanked during high inflation. Why doesn’t high inflation causes asset prices to increase.
