Verizon to lay off almost 5,000 employees in nearly $2 billion cost-cutting move, per FORTUNE.

Shortly after they acquire Frontier for $20billion

JPMorgan, $JPM, still expects a 50bp Federal Reserve interest rate cut next week

That is sort of the last resort to cook their earnings. Once they have done buybacks and cut staff they have to prove they can earn without mounting debt.

I'm on the fence as to what will happen with a 25bpm vs a 50 bpm. I want to sell covered calls on everything I own but not sure which way the Fed move will be interrupted by markets.

Some y'all gonna vote for this to continue. Some multiple times. Geniuses.

Let's see if democrats can provoke Putin ahead the election. May be their best chance

Even Biden's handlers wouldn't be stupid enough to bring on a war with Russia only weeks before an election.

I mean, they've already done it once. Pay attention to the rhetoric and ask one's self "why? Why now? Are they insane? Yes"

Figures don't lie

Employers increasingly shed jobs, reflecting economic uncertainty | Supply Chain Dive

Quote:

---

U.S.-based employers announced nearly 76,000 job cuts in August, marking a 193% increase from the nearly 26,000 cuts announced a month before, according to a Sept. 5 report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.

Excluding the more than 115,000 job cuts announced in August 2020, last month represented the highest August total since 2009, when more than 76,000 layoffs were recorded.

"August's surge in job cuts reflects growing economic uncertainty and shifting market dynamics," said Andrew Challenger, SVP of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc., in a statement.


--

Overall, U.S. employers announced about 80,000 hiring plans, decreasing 41% from about 136,000 recorded through August 2023. The year-to-date total marks the lowest since Challenger began tracking the data in 2005, with the previous lowest total being recorded in August 2008, when about 80,400 hiring plans were announced.

The obvious is you thinking a rate cut signals a good thing in this scenario. It doesn't. You also didn't mention job losses and data pointing to a massive increase in layoffs and unemployment.

By the way, you're just some rando…

a rate cut is a great thing, what do you not get about that? Lowering the cost of Capital spurs economic growth. Unemployment is near a record low (don't know what you are talking about). Layoffs happen all the time, it is just of fact of capitalism. I had to lay off 15K people in 2001, so I kinda understand how it works. you may need to get out your econ101 textbook , if you weren't and education major.

A 0.5% (50 basis points) 1st rate cut is significant, typically implemented during severe economic downturns or financial crises.

Historical Context:

2001: Dot-com bubble burst led to a 0.5% rate cut to avoid recession, which still happened later.
2008: Large cuts aimed to address the housing crash, but a deep global recession followed.

Risks:

Economic Distress: Signals severe issues, reducing confidence.
Limited Tools: Less room for further cuts if the situation worsens.
Overheating/Inflation: Can cause asset bubbles or inflation if overdone.

Conclusion:
While it aims to stimulate the economy, large cuts often signal underlying problems and need careful calibration to avoid further risks like inflation or reduced consumer confidence.

Use some common sense, a rate cut at all time highs indicates Global Uncertainty, Financial Instability and Concerns on longterm growth. It's not so the stock market can go higher, this is an emergency rate cut about to take place.

Would we be getting a large rate cut if the election weren't 7 weeks away. I'm more concerned that gas went up 65 cents per gallon overnight. That being blamed on the pipeline fire?

I was a C sute executive in my 30s for a $15B global public company.(EMS. Electronic Manufacturing Services). We bought many factories and operated them for the likes of Nokia, Siemens , Alcatel, GE Health Care, Nortel ect. Everything blew up to hell and were no longer profitable, if fact, the opposite. We worked for our shareholders. We make the decision with the rest of the executive team. Then we executed. By far the worst time in my professional career.

No. The Fed is hoping to juice Wall Street before the election.

The the economy weaking and jobs being shed, I think there is real fear in the Establishment that voters are smart enough to vote with their brains and not 100% buy the propaganda that inflation is low and the economy is amazing.

- The inflation numbers are cooked
- The unemployment numbers are cooked
- The job growth numbers are cooked

The problem is with have the most highly educated electorate full of morons in world history. The average person does not understand basic economics.

2-4 million unvetted illegals entering the country every year with no end in sight.

Escalating a proxy war with Russia via US long range missiles.

A BIPARTISAN committee reported a few weeks ago that the US is closer to nuclear war than anytime in its history.

And you want to reward the vice president of this administration with a promotion to Commander in Chief ?

That's a special thought process .

---

It is not a proxy war. Russia invaded. It is a real war. No one went out of their way to attack Russia by way of some chess game plot.

Second, the US is not engaged. We have supplied older weapon systems and ammo. The so called proxy war ends whenever Russia leaves the Nation they invaded. Neither Ukraine nor the US are controlling this narrative. Putin is.

B. The US defense industry is incapable of properly supplying the military in the event of a major war.
C. The American public is completely unaware of seriousness of the current situation.

Google the report; it's there for you to exam.

The market has already factored in its expectations of a 50 point drop.

Anything less is going to make for a challenging session on Wall Street.

And the Fed will put inflation back into overdrive further punishing the deplorable dregs while the Democrat elites continue to get wealthier. They're not even hiding the ball anymore.

Escalating a proxy war with Russia via US long range missiles.

A BIPARTISAN committee reported a few weeks ago that the US is closer to nuclear war than anytime in its history.

And you want to reward the vice president of this administration with a promotion to Commander in Chief ?

That's a special thought process .

It is not a proxy war. Russia invaded. It is a real war. No one went out of their way to attack Russia by way of some chess game plot.

Second, the US is not engaged. We have supplied older weapon systems and ammo. The so called proxy war ends whenever Russia leaves the Nation they invaded. Neither Ukraine nor the US are controlling this narrative. Putin is.

The BIPARTISAN report stated :

A. The US is closer to nuclear war than at any time in its history
B. The US defense industry is incapable of properly supplying the military in the event of a major war.
C. The American public is completely unaware of seriousness of the current situation.

Google the report; it's there for you to exam.

I agree with those comments. I just don't think Ukraine is a US proxy war.

Would we be getting a large rate cut if the election weren't 7 weeks away. I'm more concerned that gas went up 65 cents per gallon overnight. That being blamed on the pipeline fire?

No. The Fed is hoping to juice Wall Street before the election.

The the economy weaking and jobs being shed, I think there is real fear in the Establishment that voters are smart enough to vote with their brains and not 100% buy the propaganda that inflation is low and the economy is amazing.

- The inflation numbers are cooked
- The unemployment numbers are cooked
- The job growth numbers are cooked

The problem is with have the most highly educated electorate full of morons in world history. The average person does not understand basic economics.

stock market at all time high. Unemployment at 4/1%, rates and inflation coming down. hum. Trump had nothing to do with any of that. Much better numbers than he ever had, regardless of his inccessant lying tell people that he had the best economy in the history of the world, blah, blah , blah. I'm not saying it was all Biden created, but numbers don't lie, like Trump.
