A new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh was voted in yesterday. Jerome Powell was the previous one and he and Trump often bumped heads. One of the main things the Fed does is control interest rates. Trump has wanted interest rates cut for a very long time and Powell refused to just do what the President wanted, but instead do what he felt the economy needed based on numbers and facts. The idea is that when interest rates are lowered people will spend more rather than save and interest rates on mortgages and other things are lowered. Many see Warsh as a Trump loyalist. Do you think we would see the Fed cut interest rates because of it?

All memberships canceled now, another credit card paid off in full, and automated IRA accounts that I had forgot all about.

I finally did it! I opened up a Schwab brokerage account last year but finally purchased some stocks outside of my 401k account.

How's everyone feeling about the stock market? Is the news worrying you and making you change your plan or are you full steam ahead?

It’s been a while since I have posted, I wish every one well. I have been investing in ETF’s and have several individual stocks. Because of the war and the volatility of the stock market, how is everyone being affected by their investment. Have anyone sold some of their individual stocks and how is this done and once you have sold where does the money go? I just want to keep my ETFs and maybe two of my individual stocks.
