he's so dreamy bros...

he has the best control over interest rates that I've ever seen
even a mass hysteria with a minor virus attached couldn't slow down his economy
we're all going to make it

that was such a jumbled and fucked up question
he had 15 minutes to try and prepare what he wanted to say, and he fucked it all up

Jerome's response to his question was at least 5x more coherent than steve's question
and I like steve, he's mostly reasonable, but he jumbled that question to all fuck

nah
you shouldn't be too concerned about timing stock purchases based only on VIX

first of all, the VIX index tracks the overall forward implied volatility of the S&P 500 for the next one-month and two-month futures contracts (something like that).
Everything has volatility! there is the overall broad-market volatility, and then individual sectors and stocks have their own volatility, and will have different volatility measures for different time periods.

high volatility really means that investors are willing to pay higher premiums on options. Not necessarily fear or complacency, those are just the "sentimental" effects people like to discuss. It's really about higher premiums.
VIX spikes at the beginning of big, fast declines. But in the general sense, it isn't a quantity that will let you know if the market is going up or down.
The "best" time to buy options is when you think the the market is underestimating future volatility: if you think things could drop a lot, but the market is placid (low VIX), it can be a good time to buy options. ;^)

Powell is the best federal reserve chair that this country has ever sen
Powell is also the best central reserve banker that any country has ever seen
If Trump interferes with our monetary policy he will be swiftly dismissed, period.

Powell is by far the best monetary policy chair seen in the modern era (any country)
His stable, clearly-communicated leadership at the Federal Reserve sets a high standard compared to his predecessors.
On the other side of the Atlantic, the ECB policy is downright clownish. It's obvious what they're trying to do, but all it's amounted to in the end is an inescapable hole they dug into.

higher lows
higher highs

everyone who posted all the "Jerome fucked us" or "Jerome doesn't know what he's doing" or "Jerome isn't a good Fed chair" posts yesterday should be taken out and shot in front of their families

This isn't just about having the strongest economy the human species has ever seen
It's about having a strong economy while Europe and China are falling apart

Shining city on a money hill

posts like these take away from the posts you make that are more on-point where you really know what you're talking about

Williamson is not a hard theosophist, she's just a fuzzy spiritualist
her views are far less of a 'smokescreen for the elite' than the other B.S. that the demms are saying out there
she isn't super hot, the whole thing about our girl Marianne is that she seems like the type of lady you could toss in the back of a van and have a little fun with.
she and Tulsi stand leagues above the other empty headed stooges

It's so weird watching the European economy sort of collapse in slow motion.
I'm American but I work for a company HQ'd in Europe (and traded only on Euronext exchange).
My job should be safe even if my company falls apart ;)

It does feel like a huge amount of their exports are cars and planes (and some boats), and a big share of the rest of their economy is just supplying those industries.
