We at least can rule out that you are an AI since you very clearly do not qualify for at least half of that acronym.

could some one else post a 5 year stock graph?

The DOGE site is teasing almost $1000 checks for tax payers tangential to this Tarrifs revenue. Also, id imagine tax return season helps some cushion the first bit of this Tarrifs time.

For sure. I really believe countries come to the table soon anyways. Losing the US greedy spending will hurt the entire world.

Have you watched Bessent interview with Tucker recently? If not, you should.

Good point he makes, 88% of equities are owned by the top 10%, 12% are owned by the next 40% and the bottom 50% own nothing. In fact the bottom 50% is more concerned about affording rent, car loans, credit cards-- all which are tied to rates not the stock market.

Lowering rates is the central target they are trying to hit right now.

I'm going into a meeting in 3 minutes but I'd have to look historically. I feel the current rates are good long term rates. Just a lot of people holding even lower rates in the mortgage market from historic lows during covid and have to refinance soon.

A tool like anything else but how low is too low again. I'll watch later after morning meetings.

During the Covid Era?
You mean Q4 of 2008- Q3 2021?

Excuse me, you are talking about Canada, where they have to refinance every 5 years.

Finally a green day! Short term bottom or dead cat bounce? Still feel a fair amount of uncertainty, could just be a technical bounce from oversold.

Yeah, i'm used to Canada's system, every 5, many people purchasing in Ontario and Vancouver, our high population density areas obviously at all time historic low rates. Sub 2% on 7 figure homes for average families.

Just piss poor stress testing systems in Canada allowing people to get mortgages like rates were never going to go up again.




Its all over the place, looks like its reversing again, all over the place.

I don't have access to the lower level data to see what happened with that spike.
