  1. Economy is doing well only if you own stocks or massive amounts of real estate. It’s doing well for 0.1% richest of rich like Musk and Bezos. For an average Joe, things have never been worse. Stagnant wages, layoffs in all industries, rising loneliness and healthcare costs. It’s looking very bleak. American dream is dead as young families can’t afford to buy a house and rents are on a tear.

  2. 📝 Summary of Key Points:

    📌 The trade balance for the third quarter shows a deficit of $89.8 billion, the largest since July.

    🧐 The GDP growth rate is revised upwards to 5.2%, the best quarter since the last quarter of 2021.

    🚀 The core component of the price index decreases to 2.3%, the smallest since the last quarter of 2020.

    🚀 Wholesale inventories have been negative for eight out of ten months, potentially impacting the holiday season due to supply chain issues.

    🚀 The equities market remains healthy, with Dow futures adding a few points.

    🚀 There is a debate in the markets regarding a possible rate cut next year, with Waller's recent comments increasing the probability of a cut.

    💡 Additional Insights and Observations:

  3. These guys are republicans. They hate the economy doing well. It’s a shame really. Financial news used to be boring. Now conservative financial commentators are wing nuts and are really upset when the economy goes well.

  4. I'd be interested to see the performance by dividend income for all of these players vs the S&P 500 too. Can it safeguard and grow $500k cash reserve for next 2 years at no risk?

  5. With all the other lies coming from our government how do we know these statistics are real? Isn’t it politically advantages to see rosy numbers especially with elections coming?

  6. What is happening to this White guy with grey hair? I don't know his name. He acts so strangely on the show these days. He was eating in the middle of the show right now. Some days back, he was almost throwing a tantrum and trying to take a political side while making a senseless and childish argument when the other speaker is not even talking about that subject. Unprofessional !!!

  7. BIDENOMICS IS WORKING. This is DOUBLE anything Trump ever coattailed the Obama economy for. Then of course Trump tanked the economy with tax cuts for the wealthy and botching the pandemic response and LOSING JOBS.

  8. If you don’t think they’re gonna cut rates going into the election cycle, you’re living on a different planet. They’re going to do everything they can to start lowering rates when it comes time to vote.

  9. Why do you guy keep saying this is a lie? Have you guys not gone out and see what is going on with the shopping areas, hospitality, and others. People are spending.

  10. A year ago market projected only one rate hike, max 2, we had 3 in 23 as of today ) bostic mentioned rate cut in Jun and market cheered like crazy. Nobody knows the future )

  11. Sentiment will improve. Once people see stable prices and stable employment, things will pick up nicely. Economy now hinges on employment and productivity. Targeted, responsible, fiscal stimulus will ensure growing economy that doesn't fall into recession nor overheat. People should be more optimistic. Look forward to working. Earning. To growing. Economy will surpass expectations. Because people are underestimating the working class.
