yup. i bought the dips on VOO and QQQ. worked out great! i thought it would dip more so i kept some powder dry. however it did not. If we get another dip i will go all in with extra cash i had left over. I can easily pull some out dividend payers and sell some stocks also to get more VOO and QQQ this go around if we have a correction.

It’s not gonna be good news. Gonna get a good buy in before the market closes tomorrow. Many predict it will be the lowest in months.

He will say no interest rate reduction due to inflation. No rate cuts for the remainder of the year. Inflation is from the tariffs.

And if they don’t? When are you getting back in?

Also, do you think they’re falling 8% tomorrow? That’s appropriately correction territory from here lol

Ive now followed the markets closely enough, still a nube, to know that it can damn near always reverse course in just a small timeframe. , I dont expect a huge hit when Powell speaks. There is nothing new he will say, I dont see the market being too surprised.

Here's part of it...
quote:

Fed Chair Powell opened his remarks at Jackson Hole by signaling the Fed is prepared to adjust course if needed.

“[t]he shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance,” he said, in language that markets are reading as teeing up a potential rate cut.

Powell noted that while labor markets remain in balance, it is “a curious kind of balance that results from a marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers.”

“This unusual situation suggests that downside risks to employment are rising,” Powell added.

“And if those risks materialize, they can do so quickly in the form of sharply higher layoffs and rising unemployment.”

In response to his remarks, traders are boosting wagers on a Fed rate cut in September.

The central bank is also dropping its 2020 flexible average inflation targeting framework.

"As downside risks to the jobs outlook rise, Powell feels that it may be appropriate to adjust the Fed’s policy stance," Vital Knowledge’s Adam Crisafulli said in a flash note, reacting to Powell’s speech.

"While Powell is more dovish than when he last spoke in July, this is hardly an extremely dovish speech on an absolute basis. He is still nervous about inflation," Crisafulli added.

It's not that hard guys, Jpow can see the odds too, They dont let it get to 95% and then suprise the market. He can literally move the odds by adding certain words to things he says to acheive a desired magnitude move at anytime.
