Weird analysis that thinks because the bank is paying 5% to borrow from the Fed that there needs to be a 5% diff between the prime rate and what they are paying to borrow from depositors.

Literally no connection between the two.

Disagree. With a 25 basis point rate hike TLT has come off low’s and gone from the low 90s to 105. If anything else in the economy breaks bond traders are going to assume that we’re getting back to lower for longer and you might see TLT at 120 in the next three months.

Oh man I remember that day so well. Tried so hard to get my positions in but couldn't. Robinhood initially was going to offer some sort of compensation for those who tried to take positions but couldn't and I submitted a ticket for it.

They responded with a list of my attempted trades and asked which one I felt I lost potential money on. They were all puts. Every one. I would've lost a lot of money if they went through. The outtage saved me money. So I decided we were even and closed the ticket.

The bot is 100% accurate on this. Even if the Fed cuts rates, they won't go back to zero. It will be a small cut like 0.25% that will have a small impact on bond prices vs. the return you could get in stocks. This is WSB...shoot higher!

I'm starting to think the Market is right. First off, I'm totally convinced the Fed board members are totally clueless about what they're doing. They have have proven to be 100% reactionary. So, to me, their words hold no value.

Absolutely everyone had spent like drunken sailors during the low interest rate years. We're beginning to see the initial problems forming from interest rate changes. Since the Fed has no clue with what's going on, they'll follow the growing panic by dropping rates. The market has this correct.

>You're an idiot if you think the Fed is going to cut rates anytime soon. They've been pretty clear that they don't plan on doing so until at least 2023, and even then it's not a certainty. So you're basically gambling on something that may or may not happen, which is a stupid move.

The geopolitical future of is very much up in the air. My impression of the hearing is that TikTok is a done deal to be sold or shut down. China may retaliate after.

Another Chinese app Pinduoduo exploited a 0day that gave access to steal personal data and control the device.

It’s not looking for BaBa bruv. It’s not looking good.
