you haven't been watching/reading anything over the past 3 years
The federal reserve (Jerome) has been clear (unprecedentedly clear) about the present state and future states of our monetary policy

If this republic survives another hundred years or more, the actions of the federal reserve in this time will probably never be heralded or remembered by future generations. But they should be; the DECISIVE ACTION but also the RESTRAINT that the federal reserve has shown during 2020 has done as much to preserve the union as a Jefferson or a Lincoln

rewrite for clarity:

ok if a company pays a yield of 5%. Then a decade later the company still pays 5%, and hasn't grown, that isn't so great.

If a company pays 3%, and a decade later the company has 2x the market cap but still only pays 3%, you're making a yield on your initial investment of 6%. (of course you get the most return from the stock price increase, but the div is also nice)

so the yield % that you see when you buy the stock is a very small amount of the whole picture. growing yield % can be a good thing, but remember the yield is just a percent of the current stock price. you want the stock price to grow and the payout ($) to grow, in a sustainable way. that comes from the company's earnings. even if the yield % goes down, if the stock price goes way up your actual realized dividend ($) is higher.
if a stock price goes down with the same div ($), your yield (%) increases.

but you don't care about yield % because you're a smart investor: you care about share price increase and how much div (in $) you get paid !

high-quality, well run company will find the best way to pay you back as an investor, whether by increasing their value or paying out dividends. they won't try to make their div yield % as high as possible while ignoring everything else, they will try and make their div ($) payout as high as possible, hopefully in a sustainable way

This should be bearish for metals prices but it looks like they're steadily upward.
Hope everyone has some gold/silver position, it still isn't too late to grab ~10%-20% weighting at these prices. but no higher, buys should be in now around 1350

Trump continues to put pressure on our guy Jerome about lowering rates.
Language that he's using implies that he may take action against J if rates are not cut
