What is going on with the Federal Reserve ?

These speculations are pointless.....we were due for a correction. Be happy if we don't end up in a depression as a result of decades of gov intervention....

if that deal also includes getting Drumpf to resign - then disaster averted. Maybe.

Too little too late, this market's done....not even Mueller can save us. Trump's doubling down on China hawks so it'll bee too late before he admits "they" are fucking up and capitulates. The fed's are giving him ammo (rightfully so) on tech hacks, so that ain't helping. Oh, and we're holding CFO's hostage too.

Numbers aren't too bad yet on RMBS data although quality has sharply declined, but treasury is backing Ginnie Mae, which consists of over 80 % of non bank lenders passing through there as of last month, non bank lenders mostly issue non-qm loans, which are back with the 1 and 3 % down, some even offer assistance on the 1 % down which is lunacy. The scary part, as bad as the quality of RMBS being issued lately are, is the fixed income market and BDCs. CMBS are starting to look bad and most BDC's are leveraged to the tits, with trumps new law, they are allowed 2:1 ratio. With the deflation cycle were in, and assets falling, BDC's will face mounting pressures. Will be interesting to see how some of them make it out

Powells speach was boring and was like what to expect from a typical bean counter.
I have a policy in my trading plan and that is to rule out investing in positions where the Board is top heavy with accountants or lawyers.
These sorts of people appear to be clueless how to run a company.
Engineers and anyone who is hands on make the best decisions.
Desk bound white shirt types like to project competence, however Powell couldn't even do that simple task.

In 1993, Powell began working as a managing director for Bankers Trust, but he quit in 1995 after the bank got into trouble when several customers suffered large losses due to derivatives.

Trump's trade wars is the cause of all this volatility, the fed is only partly to be blamed.

The way Trump thinks about economic growth and trade is that it has to be a zero sum game, but nothing can be further from the truth. China was responsible for 27% of global growth in the past few years, thats far larger any other country (including the US), you have a burgeoning middle class population in China and these consumers are all potential consumers of American goods and services, its painfully obvious that hammering the fastest growing consumer market in the world is going to be a disaster for the global economy and US companies.

Trump also fails to realize that you can't coerce consumers to buy your products, all the measures taken by the Trump administration thus far has only weakened America's soft power, they can't bully people into buying US goods and services.

Then there is the problem of the huge tariffs that will either cause inflation to skyrocket or corporate profit margins to tank, its going to be a disaster if we don't get a deal by 1 March.

Likewise anyone with half a brain knows The Fed been doing that for decades but until the day comes when we lose our "World's Reserve Currency" status, and strongest military (though yet another thing Drumpf might f'k up) to go with it, the printing continues on.
