what was that interest rate drop about again lol? jpow continues to be in a tough spot
I don't see a lot of things to cry about? Retail sales up .4% when .3% was expected. Economy might be good enough to not have a rate cut, not seeing this as a big negative. Economy moving along ok doesn't mean we need a rate increase and it's one month of data.

Yields took a leg up after consumer spending figures came in hotter than forecast. Retail sales showed a rise of 0.4% in September, above the estimate of 0.3% from economists polled by Dow Jones. Excluding autos, sales increased 0.5%, also higher than the consensus expectation of 0.1%.

Weekly jobless claims, meanwhile, fell to 241,000, according to separate data released Thursday. Taken together, both data points paint a picture of a resilient economy.

“Real wage growth and underlying demand for goods and services are overshadowing negative sentiment,” said David Russell, global head of market strategy at TradeStation. “The economy continues to accelerate thanks to the U.S. consumer, and may improve further as lower fuel prices kick in. Today’s numbers make a recession look even less likely.

the only thing I gather (assuming all data is true) is that the rate cut was very premature...

unless we see revised data in a week lol

I don't see any data that shows the rate cut was very premature, 1 week of employment numbers, one month sales numbers slightly above what was expected. Fed isn't trying to reduce sales but instead sales prices.

I don't see any alarming data.

Nobody knows what's really going to happen in the market. It's all speculation, estimates, and prior history to develop an educated guess. I've always found it quite funny when market analysts put so much weight into a sub 1% movement in employment, growth, etc. especially movements of 0.1%. LOL

Consumers are likely spending again because many prices have fallen and there are more deals to be had as many companies and manufacturers realize that they got really greedy and have had to pull back prices to order to move their products/inventory.

Prices as a whole continue to go up but at a slower rate. Last I saw inflation is under 3%. There are specific products that have a lower price but as a whole prices will likely continue to go up.

I also disagree with the "greedy manufacturers", they have always tried to get as much as they can for their products, they are paid to sell, maximize profits and raising prices when they can is part of it. Prices go up with demand going up, come down some amount with demand dropping, there isn't some changing mentality based on greed.

About 6%. Still mostly invested in S&P 500 index funds (70%), Berkshire Class B (15%), and then various other mutual funds, bond funds, stocks, and cash. Pretty much the way I've had things for since 2017. I don't plan to change anything.

On this day in 1929 was Black Thursday and the market dropped 11%. On this same day in 2008 was Bloody Friday when we had a worldwide crash with most indexes dropping 10%. Screw October 24th when it comes to the market. Things are looking fine today.

"Job openings slid to 7.44 million in September, down more than 400,000 from the previous month’s downwardly revised level and the lowest since January 2021."

Sounds like people are truly delusional at this point.

Ok no P talk, but curious what the market will do after. If T wins the market will go up/down and how much Thu & Fri? If H wins the market will go up/down and how much Thu & Fri?

I feel like the market has already priced in T winning. If that happens it may go up a little, 1-2% for the Dow & S&P, 3-5% for the Nasdaq. If H wins I predict the Dow & S&P down 3-5% and Nasdaq down 6-10% over the end of the week after.

Markets have priced in presidential race, but with some risk. So there could still be movement once the outcome is certain.

Market usually likes split government best, so if T wins, a D congress (or at least D house or Senate) would probably be good for the market. Same if KH wins, a R in either the house or senate majority will be welcomed by markets.

Generally true, personally I don’t see a reason it won’t hold true this year.
