I think the major banks' balance sheets are stronger and not weighed by toxic assets this time. Of course, we don't know what's lurking beneath, but it would appear that it is the small poorly managed banks that are most at risk. I don't think there will be systemic contagion this time, but Fed needs to rein in a little to prevent panic.
Are Banks on the Edge of Another 2008-Style Precipice?
The FED is walking a tight rope between keeping up momentum to fight inflation Vs over tightening, which could lead to recession. The indicators that they use as guidance are lagging. The most prudent way forward is to have small increments in rates and analyse the effect of the initial aggressive tightening. Powell faces pressure from the senate comm., who in turn must deal with populist politics. It points to a 25bp hike next. There is always the option to scale up again if needed.
"it's like steering an oil tanker", is what they say. What did Powell expect, by wanting "more evidence"? Now has to make a sharper turn with 50bps. Shld've cut sooner 25bp & control the narrative, so that mkt/businesses don't get ahead of themselves thinking inflation fight is over. Fed was late in leaving rates low for so long, now late the other way.

You don't put people in jail because they don't buy something.". Just a fine will do lots to stop frivolous takeover bids in the future. I personally don't think that Musk was really serious about it and sold my shares once it crossed $50. Nice bit of business, that.

I can't help thinking there's more turbulence ahead when inflation issue is raised again. I decided not to jump in right now. If price runs up, too bad but at least I own some already.

I don't u/stand. Is it FED mandate to break eqt mkt, not let it grow too fast? Or does price stability relate to consumer prices? Even mkt down 20%, inflation's wild b/c of yrs of easy Money supply.
