The squeeze continues...

Naturally, the casinos are going up to start the morning...

Negative job impacts never good at any time for people...but at Christmas time is a pretty low blow...

My niece worked for a Cali based outfit...just gave her the pink slip...   ::outrage::

She's still young and will bounce back, but still, crappy timing...

And for too many more of this will no doubt accelerate - https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/more-americans-tapping-retirement-savings-hardship-withdrawals-rise

The Kenyan's puppet and his FJBeconomics making everything suck, but destruction was and remains their plan!   ::cussing::

And this BS should be easily deflected...

I recall the DOJ went after SpaceX for checking immigration status of Chinese.

But allowing a US company to control information is upholding American ideals...

More cold water on the misplaced optimism of some and a clear sign we are nowhere near the level 2% inflation target...

Core PPI drops to 2%, but food remains high and energy will not stay down forever, and could spike anytime given several conflicts that could jump-start it...

I just cashed out and went to all CDs.  I might as well take advantage of the recent runup in stocks.  Market is back to its highest and the inflation just isn't going to go away.  $2 trillion deficits forever as the pigs of America will never let their own personal welfare payments be cut, whatever they may be, nor will they be on board for a massive increase in taxes to pay for it.

The yield curve is very inverted right now.

Smart, I put a chunk into a 4.5% APY CD at my credit union and moved another chunk into my bank's money market yielding the same.  I have my IRA's parked in cash because everything going on in my life I haven't had a lot of time for research so its all in cash/money market sweep...so I missed the recent market runup, and now worried a lot is over-priced and overbought due to rate cut euphoria that may not come.  AI-related is all the rage, everyone talking about the Magnificent Seven (NVIDIA et al) which makes me leery...but I see it somewhat downturn resistant so I might dip a toe in for a small piece...commodities has always been my bread and butter and there may be more opportunity in energy (organic) as we pivot into 2024 and I see it gaining more steam in Q2 and with prices low will do some buying there.  If there is a pullback in PM's I will buy back in there too.  Anything retail and real estate I think I'll avoid, still not convinced a recession, perhaps a deflationary one is avoidable.  Will do some selective value & stable dividend hunting too probably at an equal weight with AI-related.  I think it will be key for folks to be flexible and not lock anything except maybe these attractive CD & $ Mkt rates.  Want to stay liquid.

ETA - Just saw this - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-12/stock-market-today-dow-s-p-live-updates

Making no move was expected...there is NO promise Fed will ease rates come 2024...yet...casino's ran wild-bull today...

All of that hot air can vent too but they don't care about that.  Wonder if Warren sold some more...?

I'm not going to agonize over a lost day.  It was down 20% just a year ago.  Various banks, none longer than 9 months, all getting between 5.2% & 5.5%.

True, just be discriminating in our selections.

Something the overexuberant tend to ignore...

https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/inflation-real-life-much-worse-government-fantasy-world

...ask the average working American...but those ignoring this have little in common with them...they'd rather just fleece them.

As for bonds...seems there is a full point of juice above trend and prospects seem favorable for bonds over stocks in the next 10 years...

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/kiss-bonds

...and while I wouldn't go in heavy, I'd include in a balanced portfolio.

And it appears Buffett bought in a sizeable chunk of Occidental...

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/buffett-buys-another-590-million-occidental-stock-backs-acquisition-crownrock

...again pouncing when they acquire somebody else.

As for this...

https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/initial-jobless-claims-tumble-near-2023-lows

...job squeeze continues...and nobody even talks about WPR any longer, eh?

Who do demonazis love?

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/biden-gives-fed-workers-largest-pay-raise-40/

Government, of course...all totalitarians love their serfs...

Meanwhile, those not sharing that love get more burdened to give unto their oppressors out of the mouths of their families...

I recall feds get a step increase every year plus more if they get a promotion. Maybe 3 pct each year and they say they do not get a raise. do they get cola on top of that?  Biden just bumped the entire pay system up with a raise.

BLS is so full of sh*t...

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/jobs-shocker-december-payrolls-unexpectedly-surge-unemployment-rate-slides-wages-jump

...it's the revisions, stupid!

A-holes keep trying to make Bidenomincs look good when it reeks coming and going...

If these jobs (mostly $%#@ing government!) are so awesome why have we lost so many workers?!

There's your Bidenomics!!!

I think overexuberance in the unreasonable Fed rate cutting front met reality with revisions...

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/single-family-home-starts-plunged-december

...and with some of the hotter print data of yesterday and recent pop in oil (which the latter may wane as OPEC+ reaches the point where members break limits on sales that always happens...) and continued offsetting stats in coming weeks/months people will realize a waterfall of rate cuts is likely not in the cards...just probably more backdoor stimulus when QT ends and QE resumes...
