So again, Garyka dot com And if you'd like to
email me, all you gotta do is be nice. All
you gotta do is be nice. And yesterday I asked
to help me out about if you're looking at a
(01:42):
house and all of a sudden you walk in and
the air freshener is all over the place and it
reeks of air freshener. Do you think that's a red flag?
Every person that emailed me said it's not the greatest thing,
and some people with definitive on red flags. And I
can our the point, especially when I said to the realtor,
(02:02):
don't you smell that? I don't smell anything anyway, ladies
and gentlemen, today was FED Day. Do you know what
FED day is? That's the Central Bank Movement Day? And
I must tell you I hate even talking about it.
But what do we say about this show? Everything that
affects you, and unfortunately these morlocks affect you. And by
(02:27):
the way, if you don't know what a morlock is,
go look it up. I just like using the term. J.
Powell lowered interest rates today he lowered the Fed Funds rate.
And let me read what he said. We don't cut
(02:51):
mortgage rates, but our policies tend to affect mortgage rates.
Lower borrowing rates will raise demand. J Powell lowered rates
today on the short end, so your money markt's going
to pay you less. They lower the Fed Funds rate.
(03:13):
Go look it up. What it means. It just you know,
they give you the definition. It's what banks charge each
other and all that crap. And yeah, it does move
some rates every now and then. But listen to me carefully.
Listen to me carefully. Listen to me carefully, because you
will definitively not get the straight. Tonight we're going to
(03:36):
give you the straight. Ladies and gentlemen. J. Powell lowered
rates today. Your mortgage rates went up today. Interest rates
(04:00):
went up today as J. Powell lowered rates today. We
did a tutorial for you yesterday on interest rates. We
will not do that again today. But what happened today
is J. Powell lowered the Fed Funds rate, the Fed
(04:21):
Funds rate from four and a quarter down to four,
but the ten year yield went from four point two
six to four point oh seven six. Huh, how does
that happen. Well, we warned you, We said to you
(04:42):
for weeks. There is a chance, maybe even a good chance,
if J. Powell lowers rates, interest rates are going to
go higher. Huh, it's simple. Unfortunately J. Powell, who I
(05:08):
would not let run a lemonade stand And by the way,
nothing personal, this is purely business. He should not be
in his position if it is deemed that J. Powell
is no longer doing what they're supposed to do. And
(05:31):
guess what they are supposed to do first and foremost,
and that is make sure inflation is in check, because
inflation is the worst kind of tax on you, the consumer.
If the markets believe J. Powell is no longer addressing it,
(05:57):
bondholders will sell, which will have interest rates go higher
to accommodate for the fact that the man who was
supposed to be on the lookout at all times is
no longer looking out. And in case you don't know,
(06:20):
and again we say this with no joy. He does
not know what he's doing. He has no clue what's
in front of him. Every answer throughout the years was
printing more money, which caused all the distortions. By the way,
it started with Ben Bernanke and eight. Now, the little
(06:41):
interest rate move up today is not a biggie, but
if it continues to move up, potentially could be a biggie.
The markets were all over the freaking map today. Before
the Fed, I think was up three hundred, then was
up four eighty, was only up twenty We're talking the
(07:01):
Dow then was back up three point fifty, and then
with like one second to go, the Dow was up
two ten with one second to go and closed up
two sixty. Somehow got a fifty point bump at the close.
It was up to sixty strength today in the Dow
American Express Caterpillar, with their twenty one percent drop in
(07:25):
earnings Between the two, it'd say it's about one hundred
and twenty some odd Dow points. I will tell you
this much. I will describe it for you. Both American
Express and Caterpillar broke out to yearly highs today. Very
nice looking breakouts today on those two Dow stocks a
big help today. They're interesting enough with the Dow up
(07:48):
two sixty. And by the way, I want to repeat
again how crazy it is because he he makes the move,
he says things, and then he does a presser and
markets were moving all over the app all over the map.
And I can tell you this at two fifty five today,
(08:10):
At two fifty five today, the Dow hit forty five
six' eight seven AM i? Right, yeah three twenty, three three.
Forty it was actually down eighty. Points after early in
the day The dow was up five ten and then
(08:33):
we rallied back up and then did what we. Did
but THE s AND p was down six and The
nasdaq down seventy two in The nasdaq one, hundred down.
Fifty you know. What another wild swing was The russell two,
thousand which benefits from lower, rates and initially jammed to
the upside The russell two thousand and then sold. Off
(08:54):
why because higher rates hurts them small. Caps and guess
what happened the higher rates at the end of the.
Day that's the. Story the ten year yield reversed and
reversed pretty damn. Strong and that's the. Story so interest
(09:15):
rates went up as The fed lowered their. Rates we
warned you about, that BUT i just want to make
sure you know it's as of this, second it's no,
biggie but it is something to. Watch and here's. Why
if the market believes The fed is lost. Control it's
(09:39):
going to. SWOON J powell caused massive inflation with the
money printing in zero percent. Rates he created massive distortions
in housing with three percent. Mortgages and just so you,
know those three percent mortgage were because he took out
to nine trillion bucks and brought up the bottom, market
(10:00):
lowering those mortgage, rates rigging the whole freakin' bond, market
and then lost control because inflation got out of. Control
and that's when all hell was breaking. Loose only when
he stopped printing and then played catch up did things
get a little bit. Better so my message to all
(10:22):
those that say d pell concluding The president THAT. J
powell has to lower, rates be careful what you wish
for up next much. More this is the one Only Investor's. Edge,

all hell is not breaking. Loose if the financials are
(20:25):
in good. Shape how do we know? This we've studied
every bull and bear. Market, hey up, next, this that
and the other. Thing, oh the history OF. J. Powell
this is the one only investor's edge you're listening.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
To america is talking falling investors. Edge he's gotta Be
the crowd is just on his. Feet, here said a
boy With gary Called. Bob he'm highly. Recommended you're gonna
feel better if you talk to.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Him so let me finish up why we loathe the central.
(21:50):
Bank so it is not the central bank that took
us the thirty seven trillion of. Debt and by the,
way we're now on a fare track with our. Debt
just so you, know no longer are we going to
go up a trillion a. YEAR i think we're gonna
go up two to three trillion a. Year BUT i
(22:10):
blame them for their lack of oversight and. Verbiage lack
Of you would think the head of The Central bank
at any point in, time arguably the most important financial
man on, earth would get up in front of The
(22:30):
house and, say what the hell you all you doing over?
Here you're running up. Deficits you're screwing the. Taxpayer and
by the, way by the, way it Was Milton friedman
that says a dollar of government spending is a. Tax
(22:51):
so not one central banker went up there and, profusely
profusely took our government to task on The debton. Deficits
not only that they enabled The debton deficits with easy.
Money you, See President trump wants easy money because he's
(23:16):
running two trillion dollar. Deficits he did not tell the
truth to, you the. Taxpayer he said he was going
to lower. Deficits, again he did not tell the. Truth
he Said doge was going to do. This he did
not tell the. Truth and they're going to be running
Two AND i have news for. You if the economy really,
slows we may run. Three that's number. One number Two Ben,
(23:41):
bernanke who was very much a cause of the eight
disaster that almost brought the house. Down why would he
be a cause because he was too easy? Money number.
One number two for a whole year he was saying
housing prices don't go down when not worried another. Adult
(24:03):
and number, three one of the jobs of The Central
bank is to oversee the financial companies and make sure
they're doing the right. Thing and if we find out
that these mortgage these banking companies were doing mortgage backed
securities with massive, leverage it was a guarantee to go.
(24:25):
Bust it was a guarantee matter of. Time and of
course he was also part of getting eight hundred billion
of our tax dollars to save the asses of these
crooks that were running these. Places that nobody got, indicted
nobody went to. Jail in, fact they've all made billions.
(24:47):
Sins that's The Central. Bank and then he started printing.
Money and you can go look at his quote, about,
oh but it's not going to be a, lot and
it'll be very short. Term and of course nine trillion
dollars later of conjured up money out of thin.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Air he, Lied.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And of course our next central banker Would Janet. Yellen
not only WOULD i not let her run a lemonade,
STAND i wouldn't let her turn on a. FAUCET i
can't believe some of the crap that's come out of her.
Mouth and she was running The Central, bank and she
was A treasury. Secretary she told us inflation was, transitory
(25:35):
and she also called for global, taxes Another, marxist but
she sure was taken quarter million dollars for each speech
to talk To, Goldman sachs or somebody. Else so they
lied about printing of. Money and of, course fast forward
(26:01):
to the, inflation and fast forward we're thirty seven trillion
to debt and one point two trillion went to interest this.
Year and not a single soul IN dc gives a
frig why because they know when it all blows, up
they'll either be retired or. Dead what do they? Care
(26:24):
and then both parties just like they are doing right,
now blaming each. Other and who are the? Victims you AND?
I how's the affordability for houses right? Now do you
know why they're? UNAFFORDABLE? J? Powell what because you got
(26:50):
a housing bubble because of zero percent interest rates in
printing to nine trillion. Dollars but guess what's happening. Now
Fantasy land is going bye. Bye inventories picked. Up houses
In vegas are crumbling in, Price miami dropping like a.
(27:14):
ROCK i will tell YOU i saw a few here In.
ORLANDO i saw one that just went up for sale
six weeks ago for one point seventy. Five they dropped
at two hundred thousand. Today do you know Why? Fantasyland
you know how we got The? FANTASYLAND J? Powell how
(27:38):
bad is it gonna? GET i don't. KNOW i do
not see it Being ina type. Scenario and by the,
way we predicted that back. Then if you, do, RECALL
i don't see that. Scenario But, fantasyland AS i have
said to, YOU i see homes that are being offered
right now at three million that three years ago at point,
(28:00):
five and THEY i got news for. You some of
them have got lucky and got. It BUT i can
tell you here In Central, florida whoever bought in the
last six, Months, oh they're gonna pay the piper more than.
Likely that's all FROM. J. Powell SO i always, ask
(28:26):
what the hell do we need these people For what
have they done to benefit? Us what are they doing
for the? Country how is it helping? You AND i
can't come up with a single solitary answer to that.
Question i'm waiting for somebody to give me an. Answer fire,
(28:46):

let the free markets. Work you know what happened, Today
the free, market at least today gave J powell the middle.
Finger oh you lowering? Rates, well rates are going. UP
(29:13):
i am rooting for rates to go. Down i'm not
rooting against. THEM i just loathe. Them they'reabout as overrated

Overrated he's that. BAD i can't believe they kept The
(29:33):
New York giants coach for this, year THOUGH i really
appreciate the game they just played Against, dallas though they.
Lost and that's a little bit of a history of
The Central bank going to two thousand and. EIGHT i

you again is THAT i don't know whether it's the,
culture the, kids, whatever just less and less alcohol is being.
Consumed and some of the worst stocks in the market
are the alcohol. Stocks and it's very much imperative that
(34:54):
you recognize this and understand it Because i'm getting asked, about,
oh do you think they're a? Value AND i can
tell you flat out in the, markets it all a
lot of things depend on of the trend of how it's.
Going and just so you, Know i've walked into some
