or the end of the bull?

Starbucks is laying off; Alaska Airlines is laying off. Ford.

Each of those companies has a story for it. Are companies looking beyond 2019 for an extended downturn?

    I can’t wait to hear trump’s nickname for the fed reserve chair he appointed.

    Too tight Jerry? Loser if not looser Powell?

    The fed has gone crazy!

    It sounds like trump doesn’t know what happens when you pile on an extra trillion in debt caused by tax cuts without corresponding spending cuts.

    Everything is going according to plan. Democrats win Congress. Do nothing still cause that's what Congress does. Go into recession in 2019 and do what? Blame Democrats. Just watch.

    Not sure I can assign this to Trump.

    Rates have been low forever; fed was bound to raise them. Been a long time coming.

    October has historically been a weird time in markets.

    Indeed. Fundamentals have been favoring tightening for a while now, and that’s what’s happening.

    I am just noting that the 2018 tax and spending bills juice inflationary pressures even further. And I think it’s funny trump is ranting at the fed for doing its job when trump can’t manage his.

    I'm not too worried.

    We've already discussed Ford's issues

    Who wants to buy a $5 latte everyday when they can buy a $200 latte maker and have a latte at home everyday for about $1.50?

    Alaska Airlines I don't know

    Little known fact about the 2008 recession. The quick raising of rates in 2006 was the catalyst to the recession. It was the spark on top of the dry wood stack. That's part of the reason the fed was gun shy about rates the last 10 years and raised them very slowly.

    Can’t poke any holes in this analysis. It’s airtight. Thorough. And insightful.

    I thought you told us it was the repeal of Glass-Stegal that caused the housing meltdown.

    Did I say rates "were the cause". Fucking seriously. You are the dumbest motherfucker here.

    BTW I also never said glass steagal was the cause either. For starters that bill was in the 1930s.....

    You seriously need to go to a school "reading comprehension for dumbfucks".
