    I dont care what anyone else thinks.....my view....The FED is RIFE with BIAS, politics, self-interest, and worse.

    Ex-Fed Governor Kugler Resigned After Violating Trading Rules

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ex-fed-governor-kugler-faced-143943538.html

    "......Kugler’s latest financial disclosures, which included previously undisclosed trading in multiple individual stocks in 2024 — some of which occurred during the Fed’s blackout period — in violation of the agency’s ethics rules."

    When she resigned......."the Fed said her absence was due to a “personal matter.”".......REALLY?

    This is the legacy of the POWELL FED........there were revelations of unusual trading activity in 2020 by several senior officials.

    Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren and Dallas Fed chief Robert Kaplan retired early after the revelations, with Rosengren citing ill health.

    RIGHT.....ill health.....in the form of getting caught.

    MY COMMENT

    The POLITICAL and GOVERNMENT ELITES.....in action. These people are all though our government system....and...they never pay much of a price for their actions.

    There have been quite a few of these little stories surface over the past few months. Of course, it is nothing new. It is a story as old as time itself. Policymakers and the like all spout they want office to "help" and to make some difference and they do.....it is just usually themselves and their cronies. :D

    Speaking of NVDA. As mentioned above, their earnings report this week. A timely story that may be tossed about….Thiel’s fund fully exits NVDA according to its 3Q filings.

    I wouldn’t be too surprised to see this topic used to stoke some noise.

    Are you seeing this with anyone you know LORI?

    Thanksgiving becomes British obsession as younger generations embrace American holiday
    Gen Z and millennials drive 440% surge in Thanksgiving searches, turkey sales jump 38%

    https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/...-younger-generations-embrace-american-holiday

    This little article also mentions Halloween.....which I know you mentioned.

    Looks like the GEN Z and Millennials.....are willing to adopt some of the culture of the USA. Perhaps you are a very adapter of USA style investing in England....and over time will see more and more people join you.

    As to my post on NVDA/Thiel…I just found it interesting since with the PLTR connection and that his fund bailed out of NVDA.

    Nothing more than just that.
