    Of course the bigger story is the actual position. But some of us can multi-task and look at the whole picture at once.

    Talk about Baghdad Bob!
    The GDP numbers were no cause for concern. Consumer spending and business investment were up.

    The market turned after hours on Thursday when Apple, and more significantly, Amazon reported. The Amazon report was particularly bad, and the very crowded megacap tech “safety” trade started to unwind, which we saw follow through, predictably, on Friday.

    We are heading back to the 40 ema. The generals are usually the last to be shot in downturns, this one caused by the Fed’s tightening.

    Comsumer confidence for April was down slightly from March. Not much confidence in business either, 21% said business conditions are "good," 22% say they are "bad." The remaining 57% asked, what is business? When asked about the next 6 months, the numbers are even worse, with a scant 18.1% saying conditions will improve. And only 17.4% think the job market will improve in the next 6 months. 22% think it will get worse, the rest say, "about the same."

    But we all know Sleepy Joe is doing a jam-up, great job, baby!

    Good one!

    Besides that, student loan forgiveness is mostly a big give away to affluent whites, so it is basically racist. White privilege! Figures a racist like Biden would support such a proposal that would make black taxpayers pay for white folks to go to college.

    Re: President Biden

    With predictions of a recession why is the Fed raising interest rates? Shouldn't they be lowering rates to encourage economic activity?

    Oh! it's because we have this nasty inflation crushing the economy right now...wow! good job Joe. Can't fix one mess without exasperating another mess.

    The economy is too strong. That is why the Fed is trying to force a recession. The Fed is trying to cause the type of recession that, due to the tight labor market, will cause less impact to jobs as the typical recession.

    The Fed doesn’t have a tool in its toolkit to address the problem with supply chains, their only tool is to change the cost of capital, thus squashing demand to match supply.

    Surely you understand this.

    Btw, Jerome Powell (the Fed chair Trump installed and Biden decided to re-up) said as much in his press conference today.
