It's been a pretty good predictor, but then it seems when you tell everybody something's been a good predictor it entrenches that thing as a pretty good predictor, in a self-fulfilling prophecy kind of way.
Information is supposed to make markets more pure, but it's such a reactive thing anymore I wonder.
Welp, some stocks might be on sale soon.

Fed increased rates, fed is now decreasing rates. People like having better rates.

Also, when economic conditions lag what is the first thing the fed does as a preventative step to try and either prevent or mitigate a recession? They cut rates.
This creates a pretty high correlation while not necessarily meaning the two are causal or perfectly related.
Lurking variables.
Even @CirrhosisDawg hasn't shorted ALL of his investments I would guess. -
I know. But when short-term rates are higher than long-term rates, it's a signal of the market's flight to safety. Either they're right, or their actions might make the prophecy self-fulfilling, or bofe!UW_Doog_Bot said:Fed increased rates, fed is now decreasing rates. People like having better rates.
Sure, the fed cutting rates should help. But is there a more fundamental problem? I don't know. This trade war bidness we have discussed might exact more pain from us in the short to medium-term than we thought. Other issues at play?
The rate cut should help the yield stocks, something near and dear to my heart. -
Who cares. DCA. BTFD on every good selloff.

I remember when the market was a rigged game for the 1%

UST’s are one of the last refuges of safe positive return. Even at an anemic1.60% or so on the ten year, it’s the most safe enclave while trump tilts at windmills and chases great white whales on his quixotic trade war. A normal sloping yield curve (although very flat) can and will return as soon as trump declares victory and leaves this colossal mess to sort itself through markets.
