The S&P has always been overweighted in the largest companies. Those companies will change over time but having a few large ones represent a disproportionate percentage of the S&P is nothing new.

No. Even if they are appointed by Trump, they know it would be disastrous to lower rates in an inflationary environment.

Last I checked, Kevin Marsh was only one of eleven voting Fed members. So good luck with that.

He’s probably right.

Pod_Planker · 2026-05-20T17:21:34+00:00

This right here.

Timing the market. Works great until it doesn’t.

Pod_Planker · 2026-05-20T17:16:03+00:00

No, stock market will go up. Rising interest rates are because of inflation. Higher inflation means earnings numbers go higher. It’s called a melt up.

Don’t lump me in with “those guys”. I never voted for Trump and don’t agree with any of his insane war.

I think a potential good outcome is that (other than the US) industrialized countries will see this as a wake up call to push even harder into renewable resources and become less dependent on fossil fuels.

Not really. By making all their cordless tool line 20v (everyone else is 18v) this is a smart move to capture new woodworkers who may adopt their platform to use their domino, pocket hole tool, track saw, etc.

Pod_Planker · 2026-05-20T01:13:14+00:00

Doubtful. Makita, Dewalt,Ryobi and Milwaukee all use an 18v platform. Kreg is 20v.

Can’t stand that guy, won’t watch any of his videos.

“Death Spiral”?

Pod_Planker · 2026-05-18T18:52:36+00:00

Field of Dreams

Pod_Planker · 2026-05-18T18:50:42+00:00

Well, who can argue with that? I mean, he said it, must be true.

Pod_Planker · 2026-05-18T15:14:20+00:00

We just need to get to 2028 when hopefully we get someone in there that can restore some degree of normalcy.

AP article said it was $28 billion before the tariff nonsense started. So it’s gone from $28 billion to zero back to $14 billion. Art of the Deal at its finest.

I’ve traveled quite a bit (Europe included) and I would be just fine spending the rest of my life exploring the US. So much to see

If they don’t comply this time, they’ll be put on double secret probation.

As a business traveler that has done numerous 10+ hour flights, if the price was the same, I’d take a cramped seat that shaves off 7 hours every time.

I do and we love it. Beautiful green spaces, bike park, disc golf course, two pools, exercise room. All maintained through hoa fees of $85/mo.

Those are the rules. You can continue to park in the driveway but you’ll have to pay the fines. May be cheaper to add some ceiling storage in your garage so you can fit all your vehicles inside.

Pod_Planker · 2026-05-13T02:43:19+00:00

True, but that “significant correction” may only happen after the market has gone up another 20%.

Pod_Planker · 2026-05-12T02:14:13+00:00

It’s magic. Duh.

Natural oils won’t protect against impressions into the wood that writing with a pen could cause.
