    And S&P Global cut the rating in 2011.

    Return since then?

    Average annual return of 12.2% on the 500.

    You get off this shit dreaming of the markets dropping and everyone having to sit around and eat chili to survive.

    Your hatred of success is very telling. It’s an old act.

    one way to visualize what will likely start happening at 6pm on sunday; after the aug 1 2023 downgrade from fitch, 90 days later america was worth like 10% less than it was at market close on july 31.

    sell every single rip for the next 3 months.

    I admit, I’m not so knowledgeable in this area, but I always remind myself that the federal financial parts are large and move slow. So, over time, the corrections will happen and those moving parts will stabilize and improve.

    That image might be optimistic. And that’s not a commentary on Trump, but he hasn’t helped. These ratings are far more optimistic than reality. This is one of those be happy you are over 50 moments, which are rare.

    one of trumps retard kids is going to start an 'alternate ratings agency' and rate the US credit rating quadruple A and somehow they are going to be named the 'official ratings agency of the greatest nation on earth the united states' and also somehow offer a shitcoin on pumpfun called AAAA.

    Qatar and Saudi Arabia are our new China. They’ll buy our debt like they are buying everything else regardless of rating. Praise be to Allah

    Bessent speaks of our new overlords

    During an appearance on Sunday morning’s Meet The Press, Bessent said that the real evidence of America’s economic reputation is evidenced by the recent investment deals signed by President Trump.

    “If we go back to your initial question on the Moody’s downgrade, who cares? Qatar doesn’t. Saudi doesn’t. UAE doesn’t. They’re all pushing money in.”

    I’ll be surprised if it moves the needle much in the short term, but that’s just a guess. How the world views that in a macro sense is beyond my depth.

    I mean Japan or China is one thing, but half our debt is from our stupid wars to fight “terrorists “ financed by the guys that are now loaning us money to pay for it. Praise be to Allah

    the wildcards here are QE and of course trump doing a presser to say he just had an incredibly productive talk with china etc etc.


    short of that, historically speaking we can expect a 2% move.. using the qqq options tree from friday close, the 508 put pays out 50 to 1 at the end of the day if that happens.

    Symbol: QQQ250519P00508000

    Strike: 508

    Side: put

    Cost: 0.11

    Projected Value: 6

    Profit: 5.89

    ROI: 5614.29%

    Volume: 2472

    how much of the total us debt does the federal reserve own?

    AI Overview

    The Federal Reserve holds approximately $4.7 trillion of the US national debt, which is about 20% of the debt held by the public. According to Reuters, the Federal Reserve system holds $4.7 trillion in US debt. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget reports that the Federal Reserve holds about $5.0 trillion, not including debt held under repurchase agreements.
