"Now that the Fed will be starting with a 0.25% cut ..."

Most think it will be a 50 basis points cut:

How do I feel about it? I want it to drop because it will benefit me based upon my current situation, as I can also beat any realistic inflation that comes my way. And that is all that there is for the modern "American Way," me, Me, and MEEEEEEEEE! That is, until the catalyst comes that brings the whole clown world down.

I don't want a fed rate cut. That would be about the worst thing for my one year plan.

It's going to get much much worse before it gets better.

Line from Jim Rickards - you are watching the snowflakes, trying to figure out which one is going to cause the avalanche. It doesn't matter, stop looking at snowflakes and start preparing yourself for a currency collapse. I don't think we have a way around it, just a matter of when. I say rapid onset of hyper inflation and a collapse in 10 years. The only way we could avoid that is with rapid, rapid American adoption of AI in every sector and I don't know if we will be able to innovate fast enough.

Naw. First we go into a deep depression and deflation. How else will they buy up everything cheap? Then AI take over. Programmers are out already. This year comes the entry level commercial artists (film, tv, ads, etc..) then they middle managers, cause there’s no middle if you don’t need the entry level people. I’m starting to really believe that most office type jobs will be obsolete in under 5 years.

Then UBI. There’s even a new tv show predictive programming it. Two out of work guys essentially go on a vacation now that the government is paying their bills.

Then hyperinflation.

But ya. First deflation and depression.

If there's not a crash by April I will be surprised.

It could even be 50bps. That might be a stretch, but we'll find out tomorrow. All I know is that expansion follows recession, as surely as day follows night. I'm sure we're in a recession now, but they're trying to maintain a narrative so we'll see how well that really goes.

I also know it's going to get worse before it gets worse. There's a lot planned between now and the inauguration.

Well eggs have already gone from $350 to $360 a dozen at the last west cost markets.
I don't buy milk so don't know.

I have seen some food stuffs go DOWN from their place st covid highs. You can buy some canned stuff for less than $1 again.

I think we will see red meat go very high.

House prices have slowed and even retracted some before the rate cut.

I suspect the rash of apartments recent ly built expecting almost 50% or more more rent than last year may not get it.

I suspect other than Bitcoin which I expect to continue to go up the only other money maker will be holding rest dental real estate with renters installed and borrowing against it.

The house flipping move has already peaked as the renovating construction workers are very scarce and very expensive making it not profitable. Also houses that have been renovated or sitting on the market without any interest at all. And at least from the friends I know trying to build a new house has just gone crazy in price from contractors and they have so much work they don't have to negotiate.

So I think housing calls are going to kind of stop going up for a while I think we're going to see the prime foods like red meat go up I think we're going to see the processed foods probably hold their price or go down because they really peaked the most after covid and have come down.

Gas is hard to predict because it's very dependent on who is allowing domestic production and who isn't and that's political.

I do think the big surprise increase will come from the price of electricity. We have a lot of AI companies and others moving into low-cost electricity markets and those are going to raise the cost of electricity and even cause some scarcity problems I suspect
