But certain institutions (like Japanese and HK pension funds) have requirements that a certain amount of their holdings be AAA bonds. (Not legal requirement, their own mandate). These funds may decide to drop US bonds to decrease exposure to AA graded bonds, which may cause a sell off from these funds. But if the grading is lower as well it reflects risk, which naturally means you'd want more reward which then equals a higher cost of capital filtering into the system (since the yield is the reward). But inflation is biting, and the job market is still churning whilst GDP has dropped, so it's likely the base rate would go up before Bessent gets shoehorned in. Which then means a higher cost of capital to tame inflation and cool the job market. An inflationary environment, with a devalued dollar, a downgraded credit rating which may instigate further sell offs and tariffs increasing on August 1st as it stands. Bonds are one piece of the puzzle but believing that credit works different for the US is exactly the type of thinking that lost people their homes and jobs on 2008 when credit collapsed.

The stock market is in a huge bubble, with the P/E of the S&P at almost 30 while it ignores the inevitable coming crash. By Christmas, The rise of authoritarianism will tank stocks inflation will be high and continuing to climb from trade wars and tariffs, and the falling USD. It is already moving up. Unemployment will be high and continuing to rise due to government layoffs, cancelations of government contracts and awards, and the reduced bilateral trade from tariffs. It is already moving up. The USD, already down 10 % will continue its decline as the free world turns against the US and its currency. Foreclosures, car repos and business failures will all be on the rise, due to inflation, trade wars and job losses. 25 % of buy now pay later purchases are currently for groceries The share of households becoming seriously delinquent on their auto loans and credit cards has already hit 14 yr highs. Credit card balances topped $1.2 trillion, rising 7.3% from the fourth quarter of last year. That is almost $4000 per person of any age. With the pause on student loan repayments ended, many are in dire straights. “The money that has to go to student loan payments now is money that can’t go to paying off credit card debt or building an emergency fund or working toward other financial goals that build a stable foundation,” Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree Student loan delinquencies jumped to 7.74% from 1% following the ending of a pandemic-era pause of reporting past-due loans on credit reports, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s first-quarter Household Debt and Credit Report. Companies not failing will see profits decline or turn to losses. Tourists to and within US , previously a big contributor to GDP will be way down, due to anger at and fear of the US coupled with people not having discretionary income to vacation. Airlines are cancelling fights and entire routes Scientific research will grind to a halt, preventing future innovation in health care and all other industries due to cancellation of research grants, preventing innovation over the next 10 to 20 years Higher education will be dire financial straits, with some colleges and universities going belly up as foreign students flee or are kicked out and research grants disappear. Foreign students pay higher tuition that the Universities need, and spend foreign money in the US. They are not “ taking spots” from our kids, they are creating spots that keep our economy afloat. While unemployment will be high, those put of work will not take the low wage openings of the recently deported since they cannot survive on minimum wage and that work is dangerous and exhausting This year’s college grads are not be able to find work especially in the previously booming programing field and in all the defunded areas of STEM. Our young best and brightest, now saddled with student loans, are joining the ranks of the unemployed. Homelessness, property crime and food insecurity will rise, because basic essentials will have become too expensive and job losses will take their toll Homeowner’s insurance is going up in price due to catastrophic storms from worsening climate change. These issues will cause interest rates to rise, further exacerbating all the above problems The US will get closer to defaulting on debt with foreigners selling off US debt which will cause the AA rating to decline to A or worse.( Defaulting on debt is Trump’s go to move) Home prices will fall but higher rates will depress sales as more property comes onto the market. Rents will fall as valuations fall. Recent buyers will be upside down. Homeowners insurance will rise due to climate change worsened “ natural” disasters. This will drive up condo HOAs Oil prices will rise due to war with Iran, but will not go up as much as it should because of declines in demand worldwide. This will help fuel inflation. We just went to war with Iran. This will likely be worse than the great depression.

I'm in Philly, a major AA hub, so almost all flying is AA/Oneworld. Lounge access changes the dynamics of time in the airport. Getting to status for free preferred seats is worth it. Premium lounge access is pretty awesome if you spend/fly enough. And my wife and I just travelled NY->NZ->Fiji->Philly on points (some of it premium economy on Qantas which was lovely). So, yeah, it's worth it for us.

Bonds have done weird things in the last couple of years, yes, but that's not a good amount of time to analyze to draw conclusions. You want to look at many-decade periods: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bogleheads/comments/11cpvxl/past_performance_is_not_indicative_of_future/ Before you make any decisions about when to move out of a position, you first need to decide what your asset allocation is, and why it is that way. Ideally you'd approach this with a philosophy in mind, and write out an [investment policy statement](https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Investment_policy_statement) to organize your thoughts, communicate with your significant other if you have one, and hold yourself accountable. Once you have that, the process of figuring out when to make any adjustments to bring your portfolio into alignment with the intended AA is one of balancing risk against tax planning, which is personal. Or if everything is in tax-advantaged accounts, you can just do it immediately.

Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum of the Dubai Royal Family Appointed to Board Of Directors Merger Adds Billions of Dollars in Gold-Based Assets to Above Food's Balance Sheet, Positioning the Company as a Global Leader in the Issuance of Stablecoins and Asset Tokenisation with Considerable Recurring Revenues Regina, Saskatchewan--(Newsfile Corp. - July 7, 2025) - Above Food Ingredients Inc. (NASDAQ:ABVE) ("Above Food") is pleased to announce that it has executed a definitive business combination agreement ("Merger Agreement") with Palm Global Technologies Ltd. ("Palm Global") effective July [7], 2025. Under this agreement, Above Food and Palm Global will combine (the "Merger") through a statutory plan of arrangement in Above Food's domestic jurisdiction. The proposed transaction has received unanimous approval from the boards of directors of both Above Food and Palm Global. The reverse takeover merger is poised to transform Above Food, adding Palm Global's 30% stake in the Palm Promax Investments ("PPI") joint venture onto its balance sheet. This includes Palm Global's share of PPI's $350 billion valuation of U.S. situated gold-based assets. Under the terms of the Merger, Above Food will acquire Palm Global, with the latter's shareholders receiving a total of 1.1 billion shares in Above Food in exchange for their existing holding. Through this Merger, Above Food is positioned to become a market leader in the tokenization of real-world assets and the issuance of stablecoins, underpinned by its unequalled access to over $1.5 trillion of diverse AA- and AAA-rated sovereign-owned assets via its joint venture partner, Promax United. Amid the recent global focus toward establishing stablecoin standards, underscored by the passage of the GENIUS (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation in U.S. Stablecoins) Act in the U.S. Senate, alongside corresponding legislation such as MiCA (Markets in Cryptocurrency Act) in the EU, draft regulations in the UK, and the Stablecoins Ordinance Regime in Hong Kong, PPI is positioned to emerge as a global leader in both the issuance of stablecoins and the establishment of central bank digital currency frameworks for developing nations, with over 15 sovereign partners already committed to the initiative. Transaction Benefits to Above Food Transformative and immediate uplift in Above Food's balance sheet through Palm Global's 30% ownership of PPI and its $350 billion valuation of gold-based assets; Direct access to over $1.5 trillion of sovereign-owned assets to tokenize, leading to significant recurring long-tail income streams; Equity partner and technology provider in venture set to become a market leading issuer of stablecoins and multinational central bank digital currencies, facilitating the generation of considerable revenues; Accelerated growth in agricultural and food product revenue and margins through immediate entry into new markets and strategic trading partnerships; and Joint ventures and partnerships with ruling sovereign families and world renown global institutions.

Here is some AI slop 🧸 20 Years of Bear Growls, Whimpers, and Mild Inconveniences (Where Wall Street cried W01f and the market casually kept climbing) 2005 – Housing bubble’s about to pop! Spoiler: Took two more years, and meanwhile, home flippers were printing money. 2006 – China’s boom is unsustainable! Yet somehow, GDP kept GDP-ing, and pandas remained unbothered. 2007 – Subprime reckoning incoming! Okay, this one was legit. But it still took until late 2008 to detonate. 2009 – That was just a dead cat bounce! Turns out, it was a phoenix. S&P 500 rose ~23% that year. 2010 – European debt crisis will drag us all down! Greece shouted, the euro trembled, and U.S. markets… rallied 12%. 2011 – U.S. credit downgrade = game over! Aaa became AA+, and the Dow still closed up for the year. 2012 – Fiscal cliff! We're doomed! Congress bickered, markets shrugged, year ended up nearly +13%. 2013 – QE infinity will cause hyperinflation! Fed kept printing. Inflation stayed in its cozy corner. Stocks surged 30%. 2014 – Russia annexed Crimea! Global market fallout incoming! Geopolitical tension? Sure. Market collapse? Not so much. 2015 – China devalues yuan = financial armageddon! Markets wobbled... then steadied, like a toddler after a juice box. 2016 – Brexit will crush global markets! The pound slipped. The FTSE did a victory lap. 2017 – All-time highs are dangerous! Record highs were hit… again… and again… and again. 2018 – Trade war with China = recession incoming! Markets dipped, then rebounded like nothing happened. 2019 – Yield curve inversion = recession GUARANTEED! Technically inverted. Technically no recession. 2020 – Pandemic panic! This was real. But markets staged a rally for the ages. 2021 – Too much stimulus! Bubble's gonna burst! Instead: meme stocks, NFTs, and S&P up nearly 27%. 2022 – Inflation spike = crash incoming! Markets corrected, but the crash? Still pending... 2023 – Tech layoffs mean tech is dead! Tech stocks casually outperformed again. 2024 – AI bubble will pop! You’re reading this… from an AI… who's still gainfully employed.

U.S. will send tariffs letters in coming days, deals not needed, Trump says https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/u-s-will-send-tariffs-letters-in-coming-days-deals-not-needed-trump-says/ar-AA1HDJbY Why it matters: The pause on Trump's sweeping global tariffs expires in about 10 days, with one deal and one temporary truce in hand, and the rest of the world in varying states of limbo. What [he is] saying: "We made deals, but I'd rather just send them a letter, a very fair letter, saying 'congratulations, we're going to allow you to trade in the United States of America, you're going to pay a 25% tariff, or 20%, or 40 or 50%.' I would rather do that," Trump said on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures." Asked about extending the pause, Trump said "I don't think I'll need to. I could, there's no big deal." "What I wanted to do is, and what I will do just — sometime prior to the 9th — is we'll send a letter to all these countries," he added. How it works: "I'm going to send letters. That's the end of the trade deal," Trump said, giving U.S. ally Japan as an example. "Dear Mr. Japan, here's the story. You're going to pay a 25% tariff on your cars," he said. Trump said letters would go out "pretty soon" and that "we don't have to meet. We understand, we have all the numbers."

Inflation "bakes in" some amount of currency losing value, however the dollar is not long-term losing value relative to other global currencies. Government "reliability" is a made-up measure, so I'm not sure what you're going off of. The US Government still has AA+ rated debt, like many sovereign nations. No, inflation is not the only way for stock growth. Corporations still exist and still have ample opportunity to return value to shareholders in excess of inflation. Your argument is nonsense.

I can see that. Was thinking AA, but T is a good call.

Was scared of banks because of the unpredictabilty of longer term bond rates...if they shoot up on inflation fears banks coukd be looking a big losses there. Best suggestion I have seen so far is ALCOA (AA). Lots of long term debt and increased economic activith from lower short term rates should spike aluminim demand.

I'm surprised they haven't run into regulatory issues sooner. Article from a few mo ago: "Mark Millich, 26 years old and insecure about his thinning hair, was curious about the ads he saw promising to reverse his hair loss. He completed a 14-question intake on Hims.com and received a bottle of finasteride pills days later. He never spoke to a doctor. Soon after taking the medicine, Millich said he felt strange symptoms. He woke up one day anxious, dizzy and slurring his words. Later his libido plunged, and his genitals shrank and changed shape. His doctor said the symptoms were caused by the drug. His wife, Marie Linne von Berg, said the symptoms upended their lives." And: "When a Journal reporter tested Hims’s service, he submitted his intake at 11:18 a.m. A follow-up text said his finasteride prescription was written at 11:19 a.m." https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/they-wanted-a-quick-fix-for-hair-loss-instead-these-young-men-got-sick/ar-AA1APJn9 ("They Wanted a Quick Fix for Hair Loss.

>There's design-on-paper and then execution-in-practice. *In practice* the US flew the B2s without any air cover or any preemptive strikes this weekend. You're just regurgitating the standard ChatGPT answer to "how does the US bomb a country" but that doesn't make your assessment correct. The entire purpose of strategic stealth bombers is to infiltrate denied airspace without prior engagement of AA systems. Just watch the timing of the initial invasion of Iraq during the Gulf War - the lights got turned off on Baghdad by F-117s that were ALREADY ABOVE THE CITY before the TLAMs arrived. The US doctrine wrt stealth bombers is not what you've described, nor is what you described accurate to what we observed this weekend.

WorldLeader

> They aren't going to be deployed without air superiority being secured first Love coming to Reddit and reading misinformation. The B2 was conceived in the 1980s to nuke Moscow with a decapitation strike in an extremely contested AA environment. The whole purpose of the B2 is unsupported, deep penetration missions into heavily denied airspace.

The problem is that the "flying car" need to be safer then safe, you cant have them randomly crash into people's house, so it will be a extremely long and costly process to ensure/prove it safe, and I do not think AA will have the capital for that.

Zacknad075

If the goal actually is what we're being told (the destruction of Iran's ability to build a nuke, and ability supply terror groups- aka their military industry and missile stockpiles) then honestly, yeah it should be a quick war. Their AA and airforce is completely obliterated, and Israel has done most of the work already. Just do some fly overs with bunker busters to get the buried enrichment plants, and finish popping the squishy and explosive stockpiles. Iran is left alive and pissed but declawed, Trump gets a flashy feather in his cap, the Houthis/Hamas/Hezbollah start shriveling up since their main source of funding and munitions is gone, and the prospect of Iranian nukes is pushed back by a decade if not more. The moment someone tries to put boots on the ground, then your right, all bets are off, and it's bound to be a shit show. But I don't see the president getting away with that- not after he gloated so much about getting us out of Afghanistan, it would be political suicide. Sure there has been a bunch of protests against him, but its been by people who have sworn to never vote for him anyway, this is an issue his core voter base actually cares about. I think there's gonna be a lot of panic, the market will drop, then shoot back up when this clears. I'm getting ready to buy the dip! (and to cry myself to sleep with losses if boots do touch down)

"Back in 2023, the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP) warned that the cost of basic necessities was rising much faster than official inflation. Their True Living Cost (TLC) Index showed that while the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reported 4.1% inflation, the cost of essentials jumped 9.4%—more than double." "These increases hit you directly, because the TLC doesn’t track luxuries or niche items, but the things you actually need to live: housing, food, transportation, health care, basic technology, personal care, clothing, child care." "In 2025, things have shifted, but your financial challenge remains: maintaining your standard of living with income that buys less. * The economy contracted by 0.3% in Q1 (the first decline since 2022). * Official inflation dipped to 2.3% in April, but new tariffs on imported goods may push prices up again later in the year. * Wages remain stagnant, and unemployment stands at 4.2%, though broader measures like LISEP's “functional unemployment rate” suggest real job insecurity affects over 20% of workers." "What does that mean for you? Even if the headlines say "inflation is under control," you're still feeling the squeeze." "It means you need to manage your finances based on reality—not averages. Because when measured correctly, the true cost of living has risen nearly 100% since 2001, according to LISEP. And although the economy grew by 2.8% in 2024, forecasts for 2025 suggest the U.S. could slow to as little as 0.6% growth. So you’re not imagining things: your dollar goes less far, even in a “cooling inflation” environment."

The question is really how much you care about accuracy to your target AA versus saving yourself work. If I was trapped into this situation, I would write a Python program that looked at an easily available data source (perhaps Morningstar) to get the style percentages for each fund and then sum them into buckets, eventually getting the totals. But that's because I am an experienced programmer and so that would be a fun exercise rather than a lot of frustration learning a new skill. There probably are paid tools that will do this too. I think Morningstar has one. I'm assuming you'll be buying new simpler funds instead when you rebalance, because if you have to figure out the reverse operation ("I need to increase large cap by 4% and small cap by 6%, but reduce mid cap by 1%. Fund A is 90% large, 7% mid, and 3% small. Fund B is...") that's a much harder problem to solve. That means that over time the complex funds will drift to small percentages of the portfolio and eventually perhaps reach a threshold where you no longer care about this.

The drunker you get the more the fat ugly chick at the bar looks good. Add in a bit of cocaine and you can drink longer/stay drunk longer. And fuck the fat chick longer. At this point it’s gonna be one hell of a hangover/recession before everyone wakes up and says oh man I should’ve gone to AA a long time ago, and girl ya gotta get out of my house, party’s over. I still feel finding undervalued well run companies to be the best way to invest and build wealth, but boy do I regret selling all my shares in pltr cause I was a nervous Nancy when it came gambling on those wack ass valuations. And while I’m still holding my small position in rcat I wish I’d bought more two months ago. Gambling on those valuations is stomach turning to me.

They are just moving assets into the Theater at the moment but they are doing so very aggressively and yes if they were gona attack now transponders would probably be turned off but Iran also already lost almost their entire Air force and most of their AA weapons. They couldn’t do anything to our jets even if they know where they are

>Make some guesses as to why. Ffs, did I gave the impression I was rooting for it ? And of course, I understand the underlying reasons behind, which is to reduce the audit workforce therefore making it easier for thr wealthy elite to dodge taxes. However I like sticking to fact, for whatever weird reasons. Facts are that they didn't fired 10k employees, they fired 6,7k (and yes those are being contested in court), the rest (the majority) willingly accepted DOGE offer. Under Biden, IRS employees went from 80k to 100k. Also the collapse of tax revenues didn't happen : > Tax revenue the IRS collected in April jumped 9.5 percent to $850 billion total [source](https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/taxes/irs-tax-filing-season-defies-gloomy-projections-despite-doge-upheaval/ar-AA1GBewp?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds) Will it drop or not grow as it was meant under the last administration it could. Will rich people be able to avoid paying their due taxes more easily, sure. But to say that every lay off were malignant would be disingenuous. Canada who also hired about 20% more CRA employees since Covid has announced important lay-offs, resorting to more AI for fraud investigation, tax filing and customer services. That's what you get when half of the population is asking for budget cuts. I don't like Trump, but I'm not willing to resort to intellectual shortcuts.

Iran's air force is incredible out-dated, like early Cold War era. This was never a threat to Israeli aircraft. They would be instantly shot down. The major threats to Israeli aircraft were its radar network + surface to air missiles (the Russian S300 being the biggest threat). In 2024, an Israeli mission took out some of the radar for the S300, claiming Iran was now vulnerable to aerial attacks. It turned out they weren't lying, and they were able to fly in dozens of stealth fighters in the past few 48 hours with ease. Still, the paths were narrow. Today they claim to have completely eliminated took out remaining air defense assets, which is why you'll see chaotic fire from 'dumb' AA guns like it's WWII. This means the jets will fly unrestrained over even the capital, like it is Lebanon or Gaza.

Link77s

I think they are using Iraq as a base. There is footage of Israeli fighters casually refueling somewhere out there with claims it was over Iran. I wouldn't be surprised as it seems like there is not the strongest AA weaponry over there at this point.

ModeForJoe

Imagine China sends some of their AA kit to Iran to "test" it's performance up against F35s... and the damn things actually work and shoot down some fighters! We have no idea how well China's kit works against ours, so the motivation to test is certainly there. If they do try it and it works, Taiwan is in even deeper jeapordy. Puts on TSMC AND Lockheed if that happens ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

Dankshoulderpads710

They can’t shut down the strait - Israel just wiped all their AA systems (again) and they are down a bunch of senior commanders. Them trying would probably be resolved in a week by US/UK/Israeli air forces /navies.

>Again in Syria, Israel used standoff weapons to avoid AA altogether. Remember when Israel's helicopters flew to the Western Syria mountains, conducted an hourslong [commando raid](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/13/world/middleeast/israel-raid-syria-hezbollah.html?unlocked_article_code=1.OU8.VPXI.fV8EEAvEyB6p&smid=nytcore-android-share), took off and flew all the way back home? Israel flew multiple drones over the site and bombed Syrian troops.

I'm *very* curious what your source is on this, because every previous aerial attack on Iranian targets has been: 1. Israel F-35s fly over hostile airspace defended by AA missiles 1. You're talking about Syria, where Israel was using F-35's with Rampage an AIR LORA standoff missiles, Popeye, Ice Breaker & wind demon standoff missiles and SPICE glide bombs. Not dumb bombs. 2. F-35s either ignore said AA missiles on the way in & out, striking whatever they were aiming for, or take out the AA as well 1. Again in Syria, Israel used standoff weapons to avoid AA altogether. at Isfahan (hitting a radar and missile battery!), and all over Iran last October (where a nuclear research site, AA and missile production sites were all destroyed!)  But this didn't happen. Israel used ALBM's fired from Western Iraq. We have satellite images of what got hit. From the Satellite images, it looks pretty marginal. Radar is loud, you can hear Iranian OTH on the long range radio, its super intense in the middle east, literally jams out several commercial and military bands, that's going strong, no decline. We know that Iran delivered ballistic missiles and SAM's to Russia for Ukraine and that they are consuming vast stocks of rocket fuel from China, so it doesn't look like production suffered at all. I don't know where you're getting the figure of 800 from. The [Libya campaign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_military_intervention_in_Libya), though taking months, used just 260 aircraft and was aimed at defanging the entire country's military. The Iran strikes would be to destroy remaining air assets/air defense and destroy all nuclear facilities. If you think Qaddafi era Libya (7 million people, in the middle of a civil war, 11 Billion GDP PPP) and Iran are comparable(92 million people, unified state, 1.8 trillion GDP PPP), well I can't really say anything then.

>Contrary to what the Israelis claim, Iranian air defenses seem to be at full strength. I'm *very* curious what your source is on this, because every previous aerial attack on Iranian targets has been: 1. Israel F-35s fly over hostile airspace defended by AA missiles 2. F-35s either ignore said AA missiles on the way in & out, striking whatever they were aiming for, or take out the AA as well That's it. That's what happened in Syria for the past 12 years, what happened in 2024 in Damascus (the Syrian capital!), at Isfahan (hitting a radar and missile battery!), and all over Iran last October (where a nuclear research site, AA and missile production sites were all destroyed!) Not once was an Israeli jet shot down, except for an F-16 in 2018, and that was *Syrian* air defense. >We'd need more than just carrier aviation to handle Iran. Maybe 800 ground based fighters, a lot of destroyers packing cruise missiles. This would be a major war. We'd have to strip air and ballistic missile defenses from everywhere. This would take months. I don't know where you're getting the figure of 800 from. The [Libya campaign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_military_intervention_in_Libya), though taking months, used just 260 aircraft and was aimed at defanging the entire country's military.

Not if they thought Trump was bluffing and trying to get a better deal. >Then all they need to do is test a nuke or 5. And we'd pack it all up and go home as chaos grips the region. If Iran tested a nuke, the best-case scenario is all Gulf States and Israel and all US bases in the area immediately attacking Iran with all air assets they have, for as long as it takes to destroy Iran's military and government. This is why *if* Iran ever announces they have nukes, it will be just that: an announcement (that they will most likely walk back after the US+allies make it very clear the Iranian state is about to be destroyed if they don't). Any test would cause a huge regional reaction and you either don't realize this or glossed over it. >I don't think Trump wants to go down this road, just like every president before him. But AIPAC and their moles in congress and fox are really twisting his arm hard. It's not about what leaders *want*, it's about what they feel is the last bad option or what is necessary or not. There's a pretty high chance that Bush legitimately thought Iraq was building WMD it was willing to use, and that invading was something the US *had to do*. Woodrow Wilson campaigned on the fact that "he kept us out of war", but after the election, he decided the US could no longer stand by and let democracy fall to an empire in Europe. >He's at 38% approval and is unpredictable. Who knows, he might jump the gun and launch a campaign unprepared thinking it will be as easy as the Israelis keep saying it will be. Seeing as he has a [history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March%E2%80%93May_2025_United_States_attacks_in_Yemen) of doing this, it's a distinct possibility.

yeah, pretty much this. I fly out of DFW many times a year. AA has a significant number of BA aircraft, matter of fact the big boys that take me to Japan are all 787s. If I had to say "if it's Boeing I ain't going" then I'd probably lose my job, LOL. I like the 737max much more than the a321, that's for sure. And it's not like Airbus doesn't have their own share of problems.

relevant__comment

Sheesh I was literally just weighing my options on booking a ticket that had either an a321neo or 787 servicing the route. The 787 is a highly technical plane. We’ll see what comes of the investigation. AA just started rolling out their new business class on these too. Horrible timing seeing as they’re all going to be grounded soon.

For long term buy and holds: - Fidelity - Vanguard - Chase I say this bc they have the highest AUM and if they fail, we probably have bigger problems to deal with. If you want to trade: AAA - - IBKR - Tasty - Tradestation AA - - Schwab - Fidelity - E*Trade - Webull (I don’t know if you can sell naked on Webull, idts) A - - RH (great if you only use mobile, but you literally can’t even short shares + there’s so many horror stories) I’ve never used public/etoro/moomoo M1 has some cool visual / auto rebalance features and it’s very popular with dividend investors although you can’t immediately buy or sell anything. If you’re brand new I personally recommend fidelity, ibkr or Schwab. They have the best balance of everything. Or you can be hip and get a cool UI with RH.

You hear this a lot in AA.

Illustrious-Watch-74

One could argue that if 2 companies have similar structural inefficiencies in the business units they contain…merging them lets you combine the similar parts of each into a larger whole which theoretically achieves efficiency through scale. Then, as step 2 you can spin out the (combined) inefficient business units into an independent company thats better equipped to survive on its own. So it’s AB + AB = AABB (with some trimming of fat) Then you split AABB into AA and BB. All that said…more often than not the above voodoo math is being forced by execs, bankers, and consultants who all get their fees and bonuses just for doing the deal. And they’ll point to a success story as the template, whether it directly applies or not.

TheCuriousBread

The feds will HAVE to cut rates this year. Why? 9 trillion dollars of Fed treasuries are maturing this year on top of the 1.2 trillion in deficit, that means the government is gonna have to borrow over 10 trillion dollars this year admist a credibility crisis with the US being downgraded to AA+. If they don't lower interest rate, the US will go bankrupt.

News at 11: the government printing $3T results in "jobs" Did you read the jobs reports from the Biden admin or watch the news? Almost every single job "created" under his administration was illegal aliens working gig economy jobs or government jobs created as a result of money printing. That's not real job creation https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/revised-data-exposes-overstated-job-creation-claims-by-harris-biden-admin-revealing-818000-nonexistent-jobs/ar-AA1pc1Ez

330 neo is 3db quieter on average but cruises .03 Mach slower than the 787 so do you want it to be marginally quieter or do you want to get to your destination faster? Legroom is a function of airline preference and cabin sup contractor-not airframe oem. Sit in economy of AA 320 neo and then united 737 max and tell me who has more legroom (hint: neither they have the same pitch, United seat width is marginally higher) No doubt the 737 max has been terrible for Boeing, but the 737 family on whole is still at ~.2 incidents per million take offs, which is actually lower than airbus .26 incidents per million take offs.

[Qatar has already cancelled the Boeing deal](https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/qatar-airways-quietly-walks-away-from-boeing-737-max-10-deal/ar-AA1FDcb6). That “deal” was just a marketing gimmick for Trump to present himself as a great deal maker before it was eventually cancelled without much fanfare.
