This will come as a big surprise to you but the Feds mandate isn't "pump the stock market with cheap debt so WSB user TedMerTed can get free money".

The Feds only real job is manage inflation and employment from a macroeconomic level. Everything else should be coming from congress.

The vast majority of the "growth" the past decade has been finacialization. Companies have borrowed like never before in history to buy back shares, and take advantage of QE to its max. Very few companies are truly innovating and the ones that are, are doing it so incredibly inefficiently.

Bring back the evolutionary pressure of high rates. Last time they actually started making decent American cars again!

I actually think this post is regarded, but I do wonder where people think the electricity to power the AC to cool their homes and power their shitcoin mining operation comes from..

Are you telling me there was a point between Either this or last December where META was up 40%?? Because again..a simple look at their performance over last 12 months makes this straight up bullshit.

You on some Cathie Woods cope train.

It's ok though. I'll be buying this shit off you for pennies on the dollar at the fire sale.

Nice dodge. I can't wait to see your "gains". I put a note in my calendar.

March calls is a "2023 pivot year" right after Christmas earnings release for Q4 2022?

Hahahaha..ok dude.

How about some calls at the end of the "pivot year".

Better yet buy some stock and then talk about fucking pivots.

Not really. You are on here making posts with no positions, that are presented as long plays, and with weak DD.

Just because you made money (if) on a half day movement on META does NOT make you correct unless you presented it as a play in that timeline.

Gambling and investing are different.

Oh really? (X) DOUBT

What period of the last year where they are down 65% did they go up 40%?

I've read your posts and comments on this subreddit basically shilling META AMZN and other shitty growth stocks. Why not just buy ARK?

How you want to invest is your business, but I would strongly caution others on investing in anything with a PE over 50 in this rate environment. Between QT and the erasure of consumer spending power, this is a very long play. Be prepared to buy and hold for 2 to 3 years for 15%. Call options are going to be straight gambling over the 1 year timeline.

I don't know if this is a warning, a simile or something else.

Anyhow I don't speak fortune cookie

Which is partly true.

In reality demand and supply affect each other.

Duh.

It seems like you are getting confused about the making predictions part. I'm not here to read your about your personal value system.

Yeah I mean they can't even accurately model weather for more than a few days. Why would they be able to accurately model the behavior of millions of people?

My background is in electrical engineering, and in math they call this "sensitivity to initial conditions" which simple means if any of your variables in your model are not instantiated perfectly, the entire system diverges. Modeling an entire economy is the definition of chaos.

At least you aren't a hypocrite.

Intentionally.

It's cringe af for people to keep posting shitbait opinion pieces from Bloomberg and Wapo.

It just turns into an oppprtunity for people to inject politics and other non sequitur's rather than make predictions.

This sub is slowly be invaded by politics like every other subreddit and outside of making predictions based on political news, I'm not here for that.

Why lose when you can just change the rules.

Again if you aren't sure if you are rich, you probably are..

Edit

There is a far bigger range of people who are all wealthy compared to 90% of the population. They just don't feel wealthy compared to each other.

For the purposes of the discussion let's say poor is anyone who can't afford basic nutrition, housing, thermal protection, and transportation.

Obviously these things depend on market and realistically include other costs like healthcare, childcare, etc. Point here is there are levels of poverty, but generally people who can afford all of these things and can build a safety net are not "poor".

Only to rich people.

I'm not sure how that makes my logic circular..

The point here is the Fed doesn't have the tools to fix our economy for poor people.
