Should help CEY when USA market opens.
Hard to tell as although a miss, as usual we need to for ensuing breakdown and other labour market bits and wage data breakdown.
wait is the missing word!
Seems to put into doubt the reliability of Powell's predictions and strategy, he's out of touch with reality!
I don't why you’ve such a downer on him, he’s made me a packet since he became FED chair ??. Volatility is not surprising with this new variant .
The new varient of Covid is likely to be useful, to get them out of this.

After all Covid worked for getting more time bot US and London for Basel 3 new regulations.
Although the USA elected a Democrat government and Biden for president the appointment of Powell seems to confirm that the Republicans and big business are still really in charge, pulling the strings!
In the 21st century considering the environmental and ongoing pandemic challenges , not to mention a selfish foreign policy.Powell is certainly the wrong the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time, not the type of person that's needed to help combat climate change and create a better and fairer world based on equal opportunity for everyone, not just those at the top!
America claims to have classless society, not the case, those in power just choose not to recognise that claim is just a myth ,the reality is quite different and getting worse!
One of the overriding factors that has contributed to the sorry state of our planet is the purposely induced market instability brought about just to drive the indices up and down for a quick profit with scant regard for the wider reaching consequences.
I understand everyone is free to make there own investment decisions and they must decide if they feel morally comfortable about the wider reaching implication and outcome and how those profits or losses were achieved.
Just like some for their own reasons choose to believe and invest in accompany with the right ethos for a long term return, which hopefully will help contribute to a more stable future for all.
So what good had gold done the planet? Millions and millions have died over it since the dawn of time, nations slaughtered for it- I could go on....
OK Steve ,lets turn it round.
BTC what has that done apart from making people like Max Kaizer and his, like multi millionairs.
Blockchain can improve security but not totally.
There is always someone that gets through it.
They get rewarded if caught by internet security companies with excellent remuneration and all the extra rewards.
Cryptos are for trading,like yourself,for good rewards if very creful.
Good luck to those people, but now the Algos have taken over.
Like the huge drop in the last few days.
Proffessioal crooks are makin the moves in apparent co- ordinancion.
Just like all the market.
Trading is now much more dangrous than years ago. Even then it happened,but the same as presently.
Good luck.
Come on Mr Bond- I have never claimed to be a morale investor, I was simply responding to Mr Tibbles statement.
I do like the fact that crypto is sticking it to the banks though and shaking the investment world up a bit- but I invest just to make money like all my investments. As I have said soooo many times and repeat yet again, crypto has always been and remains my smallest % investment of my portfolio as the highest risk/reward- next in line is PMs and so on up the chain.
I don't often trade crypto, just hold and take out a few times over the years (wish I'd just kept it all in, would have been shed load more, but still done extremely well). The big drop happens like overnight, it's nature of the beast, which is why so high risk, but can jump just as fast or faster as we have seen. But PMs are almost as bad- the wall in Oct2020 here, the Hochs recent one on politics- I don't deem as high risk so invest more in PMs than in crypto- but the way some people speak they hint that's it's low risk- if CEY were to drop divis people would be stuck with this low SP- divis are not guaranteed. Some are still stuck unfortunately from the ~220 recent high here. I use the PMs are my trading stocks, far far far more than I ever trade cryptos.
I do agree we you on the markets in general- but it's the system we are in and I cannot change it so work within it to make money.
Good luck to you too.
All the best.
