FED so far has done an astonishing job indeed. They printed trillions and still dollar index is where it was in 1980s Gold is still below 2011 and silver is 50% down. Stocks up through the roof. Employment quite good actually. 700K job losses is nothing but fake news. People are willingly not working.

Greg,

I was watching Cathie Wood about the coming changes in the market she sees coming

and she was saying in this dissertation in her March 5, 2021 video that she warned many

financial institutions won't survive the coming changes like banks and investment banks

Under- Volatility, Skepticism, Retail vs Institutional Investors.

She's pretty nerdy looking but her conversations about the markets tends to line up

with new technological break throughs as well as the impact of those technologies

that tend to cause disinflation rather than inflation. Ray Kursweil had similar predictions

on the disinflation technology would cause to the current market and future. Now,

the Fed and others in the "market" considering inflation rising but I think it probably

will end up going up really fast "but" for a shorter duration as the markets begin to

reflect the counter of disinflation forces negating some of the inflation we anticipate

currently. You may see inflation spike for 2-3 months and then it will sputter as consumers

will have to marshal their discretionary dollars into primary needs like food, shelter, medical

protection or care due to that spike or costs in their normal lives at the gas station, super

market, etc.

While the bankers have unlimited levels they can spend, the consumer has only so much

discretionary dollars/income they can put toward things they wish to consume so if your

gas goes to say $3.75 per gallon when it is 2.79 - 2.89 than this draws down consumer

dollars away from other things not necessary or primary need basis. This may not effect

the higher middle class and above as they have a lot of discretionary dollars but certainly

the lower middle class and working class will have to pull back in some areas in order to

get through this critical period of economic realties. This type of disinflation versus inflationary

factors will be at play against each other over time as well as banks pulling back funds when

over heating occurs or increasing funds flow in slow downs. That's what banks and governments

do in those conditions normally. To provide this type of ebb and flow will be a great challenge

to any government or bank though moving forward. That is why this Cathie Wood speaks about

financial institutions falling away through this process of balancing and rebalancing movements.

Greg, no mention of AXP here in your private message.

AXP has taken out the previous low of March 4th.

What is your opinion moving forward. I'm stuck holding this bag of s***.
