I do believe that Powell has been too late. He was too late to recognise inflation and now he is also too late to cut rates. Trump is erratic but he is not insane. I don’t think he can fire Powell but he will continue to pressure him to cut rates. I have started to deploy some of my cash to buy the dip but I would also be looking at an opportunity to lock in the profits. I believe the worst is over and the US and China stocks will rise especially if talks are successful but the volatility will still be there which makes it good for swing trading. So for now, I would be trading a portion of my portfolio while keeping a portion for long term investment. @SPOT_ON @Success88

He’ll probably replace him with a yes man like Bessent. My bet is the market would react, negatively, very negatively to the news.Powell has handled inflation and covid decently well. Managed through Trumps first term and was re-elected by Biden even though Powell is a registered republican.My prediction is it will be seen as massive loss in federal banking stability and result in a crash in DXY. DXY could go to 90 in first 24h and S&P to 4500 as foreign investors start trumping treasuries to get ahead of Turkey like chaos.Further, we could also see increased selling of bonds and yields hitting 5%. We could see a double whammy of 08 like financial panic with tariffs induced geopolitical damage.

A $1,000 Stock Too Expensive? How Much Does Price Affect Your Decision?
From an investment logic perspective, a single $1,000 stock and ten $100 stocks yield the same return percentage if you invest the same amount of money. But in practice, high-priced stocks do have a psychological impact on everyday investors.Now that $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ at $10, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ at $100, and $Netflix(NFLX)$ at $1,000 — which one would you choose?Generally, retail investors tend to avoid high-priced stocks like Netflix. But in reality, Netflix has been incredibly stable in recent years, consistently beating earnings expectations quarter after quarter. Even in this year’s overall market downturn, Netflix still holds a
Can Trump Fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell?
Trump believes he can, because the legal provisions are vague. There is no legal precedent regarding whether a president has the authority to dismiss a Fed chair before the end of their term.Powell made it clear six years ago that if his position were challenged, he would take legal action — a stance he has reiterated in recent public statements. This is why Trump is reportedly seeking the opinion of Supreme Court justices.However, the Supreme Court is almost certain to reject such a request. The reason is simple: the Federal Reserve must maintain independence from the federal government and the U.S. Treasury.Treasury Secretary Bessent understands this well. He believes the move is extremely risky and offers little to no benefit. This week, he stated that the Fed's independence in monetary
