…….I don’t like the GOP’s odds.
you'd have nothing to celebrate.
I'm willing to bet on the GOP taking over the House. At this point the Dems would need a miraculous hail-mary to keep it...

At least for his persona on this board. You have to take that into account.
Why go to all the trouble of manipulating votes when you can collude with media to manipulate voters, am I right?

Ask the Daley Clan in Chicago. With mail in Voting and Dominion Computers it's now much easier as Trump found out to his dismay
Pat Buchanan (then a senior Nixon advisor) was asked why they didn't make a bigger deal of the fixing of votes in Chicago after the election if they knew it was happening - and he said that they couldn't, really, because they had fixed Kentucky.
That shit does not go on any more. There is oversight.
The 2020 election was the most secure in history.

showing that DHS and this White House were working directly with social media execs to suppress information about COVID, Ukraine, the Afghanistan withdrawal, Hunter Biden's laptop, and Russiagate?
If they don’t say it, he doesn’t say it.

..back when Weis was the "coach".
I couldn't go due to a conflict so I gave the tix to my brother and he took his son to The Meadowlands.
We lost for the first time since Roger Staubach was the Navy QB.
Thx conor.
I unfortunately, probably, scarred my nephew for life, when it comes to Navy games.
and as a fan of divided government I am sorely disappointed. D's will end up with 219.

The country has always done better running itself than with political interference.

The markets are ALWAYS relieved when there shall be no more spending bills.
As to the CPI... today was merely a snapshot.

CPI news and possible influence on future Fed rate decisions, or the overall inflation issue...it's a nice chat piece but doesn't deal with what's actually happening here and now.
Divided government means nothing happens, especially with a lame duck President.
Go ahead, predict some sort of big legislation that will pass in the next two years.
Fed's decision making wrt rate increases to fight a unique Inflation challenge...not a regularly occurring mid-term election...and certainly not one that isn't over yet.
Further to this point...a successful "Soft Landing" resolution to Inflation next year could have a major impact on the 2024 election...stay tuned.
Edit: NASDAQ now up 6.2% and DOW up over 1,000 pts...does this happen after every mid-term when no one knows which party will gain control of the House or Senate?
Apple is up 6%...all good news, but of course we're talking about the Stock Market which has many reasons to be volatile, so caution is in order...hopefully, we hear more good news from the Fed.

complete w/o you, 678...
take on the CPI news...go back and look at my CNBC link for more on this issue...
btw, during my MBA program I did a study on the influence of high "Beta" stocks in explaining market movements...let's not dive into the weeds on this...unless you've got substantive material that paints a different story than what was reported by CNBC.
The herd mentality Is what moves the S&P 100.The DJIA consists of 30 "industrials" that are largely traded by large houses and don't reflect our economy for the most part.
As for Beta factors, I brought Paychex (PAYX) public and it has a beta factor that is excessive. (1.5-2 at times).
I trade in foreign currencies at the moment. Equities I tend to stay away from as a whole, unless one of my hedge fund buddies sends me a bauble.
The CPI is a long term indicator, so I wouldn't put too much stock into short term movements.
An MBA has nothing to offer as an advantage in the global markets.
Treasury yields plunged after the CPI report, with the 10-year Treasury yield falling more than 18 basis points to 3.946% as traders bet the Federal Reserve would slow its aggressive tightening campaign that’s weighed on markets all year. The yield on the 2-year Treasury dropped more than 23 basis points to 4.395% (1 basis point equals 0.01%). The U.S. Dollar
, another recent pressure point for stocks, tumbled to its worst day since 2015 vs. a basket of other currencies.
“It certainly shows how much the markets been keyed about, worried about and wants to run on CPI if you get any sort of help here,” said John Briggs of NatWest. “It just brings up the idea of peak inflation, peak Fed...The Fed will slow and peak rather than continue to aggressively hike at 75 basis point as at a time.”
----------------------
The effect on the Dollar should get your attention, if nothing else...in any event, we've just gotten some potentially good news on the Inflation front.

anticipated...thus a "Softer Landing"...It's okay to acknowledge this...try it...it won't hurt.
