Final Hike Watch Party
Be sure to join everyone over at SlopeTalk as we hang out and watch the FOMC do its thing, particularly during the Powell Press Conference. Where it’s at. I got two turntables and a microphone.
The Fed-Apple Punch
I would like to highlight a 27 hour period which is going to be vitally important: from 2:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, May 2nd through 5:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, May 3rd. This chunk of time commences with the communistic politburo of the FOMC doing what they do, and ends with the prima donna AAPL, which always wants to be very last to report, announcing their earnings. Considering where they are in their cycle, coupled with the shameless government’s intervention, one must wonder if some serious fireworks can finally commence at that time.
J-Pow Keeping it Real
It’s remarkable how candid he’s being recently. I find it refreshing!

Fed Up
It’s honestly pathetic. The entire world waited breathlessly for the government to trot out some bogus inflation number so that everyone could interpret WHAT the Federal Reserve would think and HOW they would interpret it and WHAT t hey would do.
Then, right on the heels of that, on the very same morning, we now all wait breathlessly for the MINUTES to come out from a meeting they had months ago and try to dissect WHAT they are thinking and WHAT they will do. Truly, I resent these bureaucratic pinheads more than I can describe, and it sickens me that the entire world is on its knees at the mercy of this USSR-style financial politburo. Anyhoo. We wait. Again.
