Comments: Coke: That is his father. The entire family are super rich and successful. I believe his sister also had a successful gig. His twin cousins (which I know personally), sold two start ups to Bill Gate, and now worth close to 1B, so they are now enjoying life as investors and philantropy. They are both Harvard graduate, which Trump is trying to shut down!!! I am serious, this man has come to fuck the fundation of USA. I do not know why. Is it too much hate against successful people, or as some people may say, he is doing it as a service to Russia. I do not know. But for sure, his intention is not to cut deficit.

Comments: Anyways, hopefully Jerome Powell and Trump can get it right. I know everything sound like happening for the first time, but again this is not the first time, Even Democrats were against Jerome Powell's policy during Biden Admin. Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jeff Merkley on Friday came out against to keeping Jerome Powell at the helm of the Federal Reserve due to what they see as his insufficient response to the climate crisis. The opposition further complicates the imminent decision by President Joe Biden on whether to renominate Powell four another four years term to lead one of the world’s most powerful institutions. Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that Powell is a “dangerous man” to lead the Fed because of his track record on Wall Street regulation.
Comments: Saeed, weakend dollar is a good thing for US companies doing business abroad. It helps the earning. Not good for going on vacation .
Also, US dollar is where it was in September prior to Election. It went up with Trump's presidential election. Again, two things he is after; Lower Oil price and Lower interest rate to pay the debt. And lastly, do not panic you have been there and done that... in 2022 Nasdaq lost 33% and S&P around 21% losing $18 Trillion : In the first 6 months of 2022, the S&P 500 fell 21%, the worst 6-month start to a year since 1970. On September 13, 2022, the S&P 500 declined by 4.32% in its largest single-day drop since June 2020. The S&P 500 had the worst results since 2008, with a decline of 19% for the year.

Comments: The U.S. dollar has plummeted in 2025, reaching its weakest level in three years. Since Inauguration Day, it has lost nearly 10% of its value, with over half of that decline occurring this month alone. Concurrently, the stock market has suffered a staggering loss of approximately $11 trillion in value since January. This is before today crash. How much was the deficit? Inflation is on the rise and economists warn of further increases due to ongoing trade tensions. The probability of a recession has escalated dramatically, with experts estimating a 90% chance if current policies persist. In summary, the U.S. economy is in real trouble: a weakening dollar, substantial market losses, rising inflation, and recession on the horizon. Total economy fuck. Never in history, a sitting president has fucked the economy from a healthy position to rock bottom in less than 100 days by self infliction.
Comments: Where do they find these thugs? علی اینانلو گزینه مدیرعاملی پرسپولیس؛ سرکوبگری که هرگز مدیر اقتصادی نبود ![]() رسانههای ایران میگویند «علی اینانلو» عضو هیات مدیره پرسپولیس، جانشین «رضا درویش» مدیرعامل مستعفی این باشگاه خواهد بود. خبرگزاری ایرنا وابسته به دولت جمهوری اسلامی، علی اینانلو را «یکی از مدیران باسابقه شرکتهای تابعه بانک شهر» معرفی کرد؛ اما خبر این رسانه، بر اساس توییتهایی بود که برخی «کاربران ارزشی» در فضای توییتر در حمایت از علی اینانلو منتشر کرده بودند. بررسیهای «ایران وایر» نشان میدهد که علی اینانلو هرگز یکی از مدیران بانک شهر یا عضوی از هیات مدیره شرکتهای تابعه این بانک نبوده است. منابع خبری ایران وایر در باشگاههای سایپا و پرسپولیس اما علی اینانلو را «یک بسیجی فعال» و از نیروهای حاضر در سرکوبهای اعتراضات سالهای اخیر بهخصوص در جریان اعتراضات ۱۴۰۱ معرفی میکنند.
Comments: Right on about Khosroshahi... I have met the family in Iran through Daroogar transactions..
Comments: Saied. As I always said I cannot predict the way you guys freely do... NVDA today got a target price of $185. That was Based on technical, including the China Tariffs. You just follow the data and geopolitics. You are right though. It is not about Tariffs. At the end you will probably see zero-zero tariffs. It is about removal of Trade Barriers and adjusting Trade deficits. Tariffs is just a tool to address the latter two. The problem still stands..CHINA and how much much we are getting screwed. The question really is will Trump and his approach succeed. That is the million dollar question. And No.. I have no prediction ability. What I do know for sure is that there will be a deal and may not necessarily be the ideal deal Trump is after. But US will be a better situation than now.
Comments: Farzad: Let me first give you my verdict on tariffs and deficit and you can mark it for future " in no way, tariffs can pay for deficit". Tariffs directly and indirectly will hurt US economy so much that deficit interest will be very negligible. If continued, it will add to the deficit significantly. That Khosrow shahi family is wekk known, his grand dad was the founder of Daroogar, a successful and profitable company in Shah era. IRI took over the company post revolution and they had to flee Iran. One of my closest friend/ex colleague was a close relative to him. A very nice, educated and smart family.

Comments: And Saeed... I also agree that pretty much all anti Trumps will become pro IRI.. :-):-) Just like all Anti Trumps became pro Dick Cheney. Mark my word. Here is what is happening in the market. Since Trump took office, Powell has kept the Fed in a holding pattern, suggesting the agency needs time to see how tariffs and Trump's immigration policies will affect the economy before continuing the rate-cutting campaign that it began last year. However, the size and speed of Trump's tariffs have caught even the Fed off guard, according to Powell: The level of the tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated. The same is likely to be true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation and slower growth. Both survey- and market-based measures of near-term inflation expectations have moved up significantly, with survey participants pointing to tariffs. Survey measures of longer-term inflation expectations, for the most part, appear to remain well anchored; market-based breakevens continue to run close to 2%. Powell added that the agency might find itself in "the challenging scenario in which our dual-mandate goals are in tension." What does this mean? Well, the Fed's dual mandate is to achieve maximum employment and stable prices. When prices rise too much, the Fed raises interest rates to slow the economy, bringing prices under control and avoiding runaway inflation. However, Powell's continued resistance to lowering rates and growing concerns about doing so could further incentivize the Trump administration to make deals with the country's largest trading partners. While Trump's initial tariff pause sent stocks soaring on April 9, the market has lost ground since then as an agreement with China still seems far away. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently told Yahoo! Finance that he thinks the administration could have "substantial clarity" about trade agreements with most of the United States' large trading partners other than China before the tariff pause ends. And the important part: Make sure that when you are buying stocks, you have long-term intentions. There are certainly bargains to be had in today's market, and Powell did say that long-term inflation expectations are still under control. It might be best to look for stocks less connected to China right now because those could be the most volatile. But in the long term, China and the U.S. are likely to reach an agreement.
Comments: Saeed, keep accumulating, and buy bottom. We have not even hit the bear market yet, and as you said we have been there done that.. . Fundementals did not change, all is about being able to pay the defecit and uncertainty with Tariffs. Right now 1/3 of the tax we pay goes to pay for the interests on the 40T defecit. 2T of our money is just going "poof"... Hence the push for interest rate reduction and Oil price reduction. Lots of Blue chips on bargain out there... I do agree that him and Powel need to align.
Comments: We have been complaining about IRI and how stupid they have acted in various issues. But compare to this admin, IRI seem head and shoulder smarter and wiser. This admin seem to be a group of monkeys ruling humans.
Comments: Uber’s CEO says learning these two subjects in college is an ‘absolute necessity’ for any Gen Z grad eyeing up management roles“One of my secrets is—really, I do give Brown credit for this—this balanced education that I kind of stumbled on,” Dara Khosrowshahi said recently during a panel at the Ivy League college—his alma mater. “Learning all of the… really important basics of engineering, but then marrying that with liberal arts, that really taught me to communicate in a compelling way, which is an absolute necessity when you’re in a leadership position.”
Comments: market is on a downward trend, the worst I have ever witnessed, may be on par with 2008. This is quite unbelievable. Economy was handed to the new admin in its best possible shape in every aspect. And almost all tech companies contributed to Trump election, hoping for better days with lower regulation and tax cuts. But now this? Nobody knows what is the bottom? and how one can get out? Approval rating for his after 100 days is falling fast. Now he blames it all on fed chair for not lowering the rate. Meanwhile, it seems all the world is getting united to fuck USA. And people in admin is over estimating USA power. We are only 4% of world population while 25% of world economy. So global trade was working like a charm for this country. Now, this retarded admin is using 18 century tactics to tackle 21 century issues.

Comments: Saied that is the same thing over again... I would not go with "his approval rating is low", "polls show he is going to lose", "he is self destructive", and.... so on... That is not going to work. It was proven thousand times. Everyone thought they had it in the bag when he said haitians eating cats and dogs but then again... the opposit happened.. The MAGA base is intact and has not moved and if anything gained in the past 9 years. I do agree about a strong 3rd party... But this new party must have an agenda, a strong agenda which resonates with ordinary people like in Iowa, must have a doctrine, and must have the right players...perhaps new faces. By now evevryone is exposed... people know who has the Neocon agenda (war and only war), who has woke agenda, who is a MAGA, and who is an establishment dinasour. You also have to take into consideration that the Boomers are sunsetting and you have Millenials, Gen X, Gen Z, and gen alpha to deal with. The right wing Republicans (in form of neoconservatives) like the likes of Dick Chenney, Victoria Nuland, Robert Kagan and Bill Kristol are pretty much gone. But you are right they find their way in and that's what happened in 2020 with Liz Cheney, ending up getting Medal of Freedom in 2024. There are couple of right wing Neocons in Trump's cabinet too. Mike Waltz and Marco Rubio. But they are used mostly as deterence just like John Bolton had the role as Trump's NSA. Bolton's hawkish ideas went nowhere and he was eventually dismissed. Anyways, I agree with a 3rd party seniario.. But at the same time keep in mind that the non-establishment party in charge now is also niether of those or maybe is a combination of both. That is how you end up with Hillary, Obama, and Biden endorsers like RFK, Elon, and Tulsi supporting the current admin. And that is how we saw the likes of Right Wing Cheney type republicans like Romney, Kagan, Kristol, and Cheney himself, endorsing the previous Democrat admin. We are seeing a crisscross shift as witnessed in 50's.. All facinating and interesting historical stuff...
Comments: Farzad: I would not put too much thought on Democratic party and how they should change. I believe, result of Trump presidency will be self defeating. I predict economy will get much worse, inflation will be higher, unemployment will be much worse, and housing will also cool off. This is the best case scenario. The worst case can be a disaster. His approval rating is already down. It will go down much more. I also believe, he will lose the house in mi term for sure and possibly Senate. In 2028, democrats will not have major problem getting the power back. But emergence of a third party is needed. Group of centrists must get together and form a 3rd party; republicans without their right wings, and democrats without their left wings.
