Boggy, I'm not discounting anything; of course there are myriad influences on stock prices. However, I repeat, the two biggest influences on the market since the inauguration are Fed intervention and current/ proposed government spending. If you disagree, that's fine.
As for "transitory" inflation, Powell has been saying that since early in the year and was flat out wrong. Also, many don't share your sanguinity on energy prices, since they are soaring around the world and impact not only transportation/ heating/ cooling/ cooking, but virtually everything that is manufactured. That added cost will ripple through the global economy. |

Mr. Trump, who has repeatedly lied about the results of the 2020 election while accusing the mainstream news media of publishing “fake” stories to discredit him, leaned hard into the notion of truth as his new company’s governing ethos.
“We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American president has been silenced,” Mr. Trump said in his written statement, vowing to publish his first item soon. “This is unacceptable.”
Can't wait for all the "Truth" that will be pouring out of his new social media platform!

Lying Loser 45 attends Game 4 of The World Series.
Wonder how much that costs the taxpayers? It's not like he has a connection to either Houston or Atlanta.
Like an idiot he does the tomahawk chop with Melania.
Good thing they didn't play the actual audio of him being booed! |

Trump's ex-communications director has warned that if the former president wins a 2nd term he would establish an autocracy in the US
Quote: | An ex-White House official warned of a "nightmare scenario" if former President Donald Trump wins a second term, she told CNN, per Newsweek's reporting.
Alyssa Farah, who served as the White House's director of strategic communications and assistant to the president in 2020, told journalist CNN's Jake Tapper that Trump would "absolutely" impose some form of autocracy if re-elected in 2024.
She described her former boss as a "man who has challenged our institutions near to the breaking point," according to a clip from CNN'S "Trumping Democracy: An American Coup."
Farah went on to say that Trump's second term would be "very different," and added that is what "scares" her the most.
"There were things that he wanted to do when he was in power the first time that was well beyond the scope of what the US president should be able to do, but oftentimes it was simply the motivation of hoping to win reelection that kept him from doing things," she said.
When pressed for an example of things the former president might do differently, Farah outlined her expectations to Tapper. "Whether it's weaponizing the justice department against political opponents, whether it's going after the free press, he would certainly be open to using the military for political reasons as well," she said. |

Fed intervention and spending? The apologist for oligopoly seems to have ignored tax and other policies by Trump and Moscow Mitch that drove more wealth to their campaign contributors. Seldom in doubt, rarely correct. |
