  1. Ed, don't be silly. Having the government involved in making chips is ridiculous and bad business. It's the opposite of capitalism. It is taking money out of the economy to select where it goes instead of the invisible hand. You sound like a socialist tool here. Government is the worst partner a business could want, a nightmare of strings attached. The money is sure to be misspent like in the Big Dig too. You fool.

  3. I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.

  5. I'm thinking of reviewing the allocations in my $600K portfolio, especially in light of the current halt in interest rate hikes. I've diversified into renewable energy and IT stocks. They look good, but I'm not sure.

  6. Yeah how long can they keep this market propped up with sticks? Jobs are at an all time high? Part time jobs maybe but big cuts have been made to large cap companies so imagine what happens on mid cap companies.

  7. Were paying $3.19 per gallon for gas in central Texas. Groceries are up 20%+ since 2021. Inflation is here and is not going away until our gas and diesel prices drop. The USA is not pumping enough oil to get inflation down. This is by design. Voting in Joe Biden was a mistake.

  8. Powell and rest of dove Fed should be out of work for the damage they have done to this country. They should have never had the QE and MBS buying program. Made everyone poorer and homeless. Meanwhile government continues to pay pump economy with infrastructure bill and student debt forgiveness

  9. These people aren’t stupid, they’re just lying to the American public. And we’ll sit here and just take it day after day and year over year. 250 million people should remember who really holds the power.

  10. Expectations for 2024 is that markets starts to broaden out more, with the rates cut holding steady, i have a couple of questions….can I safely invest $320k in the markets? What should I do differently?

  13. The rate going up did nothing for Product price gouging, and deceptive shrinkflation all part of GREEDFLATION which the Feds have no control of!

    Stripped of power all the Fed “could do” is point out the Those taking Advantage!
    Voting for those who CAN change the rules and return regulations, to STOP outrageous profits under the guise of inflation, and be examined and Fined is the only way to get Greedfation under control!

    Right now it is very hard to not buy from those who participate in the practices as there is No competition! Break up the monopolies! Consumers deserve better.

  25. Republicans worried about national debt crack me up. They lowered taxes for the rich and corporations while not wanting to fund the IRS to collect taxes due

  29. Great video! I really do have a quick question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, How would you recommend we enter the market? I am looking study some traders and copy their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. Whats your take on this approach?

  31. In uncertain times, how can one outperform with the S&P 500? my money goal of $3m seems far-fetched and just saving is not an option, do I seek a license advisor to help grow my funds, or wait for a favorable economy? I have barely 5 years to retirement.

  32. THIS DELUSIONAL GUY! GUM is doble the price of last year! GUM! Joan’s filed for bankruptcy, there are other retail shops that filed for bankruptcy, people getting let go. WHERE ARE THESE MEN LIVING WHILE THE COUNTRY BLOWS UP IN FLAMES?! 😂🔥

  33. NEED FOR WHO? GOVT NEEDS IT AS IT PAYS HUGE INTEREST NOW. HOUSE BUYERS NEED IT AS PRESENT INTEREST RATES PLUS PRESENT HIGH HOUSE PRICES MAKES HOUSES UNAFFORDABLE – SO THERE IS EVERY NEED…

  36. Ed, Ed, Ed. Watch the Sahm rule recession indicator on April 5th. That is likely to be the first signal that we are already in recession. Look at McClellan's X posts– Fed is already behind the curve, just like the last 2 recessions. Fed was way too late to start raising rates, and will again be way too late to cut. They won't be able to save us from recession. Likely declared later this year. Sure, adding $6 trillion in debt in the last 3 years is worth it…NOT!! It will all hit the fan soon.

  46. Sorry Ed but you've betrayed yourself as a NY lefty. People are taking out Loans to pay their monthly grocery bills. Borrowing money at interest to pay for meals. I not only think democrats should be voted out of office at this point, there's an argument they should be expelled from the Country.
