Sir this is a casino.

What if you have no savings?

Unity owns Weta. It will be such a shame if it drags down one of the best special and visual effect houses.

The government caused this situation. The banks are required by law to buy safe things like bonds. The government destroyed the value of their bonds by jacking up interest rates. So the government is going to fix it by infinite money glitch. What could go wrong?

However, I don't think the government can have really high interest rates. The government has to pay that rate on all of it's debt. I think at current rates all of the taxes collected would go to finance the debt. How do we buy more bombs?

Especially if this triggers a big recession and all the poor's can no longer contribute to the bomb fund.

you opinion is based on an assumption that money is finite. so to sell bounds, the bond interest must be high enough to cover the inflation and be attractive to the cash that's available.

when in actuality, it is a bit more complicated. for one... the Fed can always decide to screw the inflation and start QE again, turn on the printer and flooding market with 100 trillion dollars over night (by buying the bond), and set the overnight rate back to zero. and bank would be able to once again borrow short term money for next to nothing, and stay solvent, and none of the situation you describe would come true. The US can keep doing this for as long as dollar is accepted world wide, as the inflation / devaluation of Dollar will be aborted by the entire world, but US will reap all the benefits as long as we got military might that can uproot any government dare to say otherwise.

Be happy they are using Google first before posting, that's progress

When interest rates increase bond values decrease.

Money is a zero sum game. It's impossible for everyone to lose money.

Yeah, the vol crush with SPY not rallying was very suspect.

Gold was dumping hard as well, bonds were sold-off. Risk on type behaviour but this time SPY didn't care for it. Looks like another rotation, this time into IWM.

So SVB will get a second bailout under a different name

It’s ok, this is a safe space for you. No one is going to hurt you

Like I said poor's like u suck so thanks for proving my point.

Stop again. Go google “how do banks make money”. You need to learn about what the spread is and it has nothing to do with butter or your moms legs

This is WSB keep your fragile political views out of this sub nerd

are we just in "return to normal"? because holy fuck this is taking a lot longer than i thought it would.

Ah yes… anytime a stock goes down for a while it’s a “bottoming process”

>This is an extremely difficult situation that the Fed is facing. They need to be careful not to set rates too high, which could hurt those who have borrowed money, but at the same time they need to provide enough of a return net of inflation to encourage investors to hold government bonds. It's a delicate balancing act and one that could have serious consequences if it's not handled correctly.

So I can take out a loan while purchasing a CD at the same rate

LMAO, even if this sub collectively buys SPY, we're not moving the needle

Yo, serious question. What are you high on?

Oil is not even close to the Bush year highs and you trumpist clutching their pearls about Biden. Jesus poor people suck
