(12/13/23) CPI came in right on the money, and now attention turns to the Fed meeting today, and tomorrow's comments from Chairman Jerome Powell. What does the Fed want: Inflation vs deflation vs disinflation; yields need to come down; meanwhile markets continue to climb setting new highs, but not new record-highs. The Elf on the Shelf explained; embodiment of The American Dream; cost now more than ever, unless you create it; what the American Dream is NOT; the value in learning a trade; defining your personal American Dream; how to beat the high cost of the American Dream (The Millionaire Next Door); baby cribs, diamond rings, & funeral costs.
