Had this gem come across my feed today. https://youtu.be/4W727sKDyyM Worth the watch

Just wanted to leave a quick post thanking you all for the mindset of "this is the situation, what are you going to do about it". More than ever before the world is flooded with victim mentality. Even family members who I deem to be really smart, and younger folks who should be ambitious, keep using words like "End of an empire" or express disdainful sentiments about "the rich". I hope we keep on emphasizing the "what are you going to do about it" and "lets see how we can make this work" mentality. This community has been the only source of that for me other than my own internal voice, and it's helped keep me going. Much love any many thanks!

@Simon Caron Just wanted to put a post on here that I personally appreciate the repetition that comes up in the livestreams a lot, so wanted to drop a quick thank you. I listen to the livestreams on walks etc after they've posted. I find my self re-listening to them a couple of times so the concepts sink in. It sounded like some folks were raising issues with this so I wanted to object to that a bit. I think it's a great teaching method and hope you keep doing what you're doing!

The CTT trade appears to be playing out, with the TACO trade emerging as the obvious next move following Trump's relentless Sunday night social media posts preaching "Hell." With the Dow set to open nearly 1,000 points higher, it's clear that the credible threat strategy is working. Expect more of these late-night outbursts and over-the-top statements. I believe there’s a deliberate message delivery system designed for elites to decode. My conspiracy-oriented mind sees Trump’s messaging as intentionally delivered in either an “obnoxious” or “serious” tone—often making it hard to distinguish between the two. However, once you become aware of this possible system, it becomes easier to identify and anticipate the TACO trades. The real skill lies in reviewing everything with serious intent and a “credible threat” lens, then determining what the statements are truly meant to convey.

Probably the biggest question (and problem) people will face will be the interest rate they get on their home loan. Predicting the future is a little easier with CTT. Here is an article talking about a recent increase in mortgage rates. The federal reserves "inflation fight" has many people communicating a "no need for lowering rates at this time" message. The 10yr U S. Treasuries can also predict these risks and concerns. Now using CTT, most likely we will see inflation in the broader economy if the conflicts continue or escalate. Most likely this will raise the neutral rate as a result. Michelle Bowman also gave a speech recently talking about easing the banking capital requirements, i can only imagine with the right communication and less banking restriction, this could make the housing market more available to qualified buyers. Essentially removing some of the restrictions that may have prevented them from issuing loans. More loans to offer, more competitive rates to offer as well. Listen for the narrative, not the strategy. Do not think about how the fed is trying to bring inflation down. Do not think about unemployment. Do not think about how the fed is going to adjust rates in the future. Although those things are important. You must think about what the narrative is saying. At the time of this writing I am finding just about every single news article reporting on a fed not lowering rates. Rates are rising as a result of the expectations. Last month the expectations were "tarrif removal would lower inflation pressure" , mortgage rates came down based on that belief. Remember that the federal reserve hasn't moved, just the people's expectations. Do not look at what the federal reserves next move will be, instead look to what the people believe the federal reserves next move will be. https://www-foxbusiness-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.foxbusiness.com/economy/mortgage-rates-march-12-2026.amp?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQGsAEggAID#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=17733981799058&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxbusiness.com%2Feconomy%2Fmortgage-rates-march-12-2026
