From @pboockvar "The pace of existing home sales (measuring closings) in June continued to hover around the slowest rate since 1995 at 3.93mm annualized, 70k less than expected and vs 4.04mm in May." @DiMartinoBooth
There's an obvious difference between calling out the foibles of how the Fed operates and rejecting calls to make the Fed a political organization. In what planet does anything, no matter how broken, operate better when it becomes a political operation?
I wish I understood what you said(?) Actually, you're a PhD & presumably have the capacity to grasp the difference btw policy errors being committed because Powell has allowed politics to cloud his judgment & Constitutionality of trying to fire an indemnified official for cause.
Mr. Powell: 'I don't inflate, I just conflate- the transitioning part...'
Conflation can be vexing! While shameful, committing policy errors as politics has clouded one's judgment does NOT equate to screeching from the hilltops that Powell should resign based on bogus allegations #SCOTUS would slap down What I did say: Powell should be doing HIS JOB
this you? youtu.be/rmHu3O7_3uY
Beware misinformation! Longtime followers like @MauiBoyMacro know I’d NEVER be dim enough to suggest ANY FED OFFICIAL bow to political bullying, defying its INTENDED role as an apolitical entity I wrote a book arguing Fed be reduced to single inflation mandate (Act of Congress)
Pretty disappointing, though not surprising,to see @DiMartinoBooth also try and bully Powell's resignation.
Yeah; I remember @DiMartinoBooth calling it “take your mother-in-law to Europe season” for small businesses owners
The Dual mandate is a cancer. So is the 2% inflation target.
Pretty much.
complete idiocracy starting my nassim taleb arc fck it

America's Largest Home Builder, DR Horton, just reported 24% decline in net income. Less revenue, less income and revised guidance incoming at 8:30 Eastern
Oh wow, I think @SecScottBessent has just read the book “FEDup” from @DiMartinoBooth and is going to ask her to join @DOGE to look at the institution bottom-up (while he looks at it top-down) to completely review all they do in there and finally make it work for the US citizen.
Bessent: We Need To Reconsider The Entire Institution Of The Federal Reserve Full interview - realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/07/… "All these PhDs over there—I don’t know what they do. This is like universal basic income for academic economists."
FAIR POINTS interspersed w/non sequiturs. Mission creep should be scrutinized incl never again allowing lines between @federalreserve & @USTreasury to be blurred. Congress should also revisit dual mandate & remove employment, leaving solely safeguarding the value of the US dollar
Today in a CNBC interview, I called for a review of the Federal Reserve. It is my belief that the central bank should conduct an exhaustive internal review of its non-monetary policy operations. Significant mission creep and institutional growth have taken the Fed into areas that…

Something I remember distinctly during the GFC was the correlation between LTV's climbing over 80% and defaults. Defaults would climb at an exponential rate the higher the LVT, and going pretty much parabolic at 100%+ LTVs. Whether people could afford the payment or not, they…
THIS IS NO ECCLES-GATE, FOLKS! THERE IS NO SMOKING GUN! #SCOTUS indemnified Fed officials & their independence. Bessent talks BACK firing Powell as he’s smart enough to know there’s no CAUSE that stands on legal grounds (Why play a game knowing ‘W’ is NOT the outcome GOING IN?)
Hey Danielle, haven’t seen you in media for a few days. Are you doing any interviews in next couple of days? Would love to hear your commentary on personnel situation in the Fed, especially the chair.
Some truth here.
Powell's job is to fall on his sword and for the Fed to be reformed. This is clearly what is happening. Someone has to be the bad guy in this story or it doesn't work. Have you NOT figured out Trump's method yet? Bessent is still running cover for Powell, allowing him to do…
June Redfin results are out, and things have taken quite a turn under the hood... Will Wednesday be NAR’s last stand for the COVID cycle? @DiMartinoBooth @RudyHavenstein @VladTheInflator @KennyCap_Phd @MrAwsumb @Johncomiskey77 👇 open.substack.com/pub/m3melody/p…
I like @DiMartinoBooth phrase regarding buying office properties and some retail in the current environment….
Speedy recovery and continued prayers for the closure Steelcroft bringing to TX families.
Unfortunately this is the experience of so many as these towns don’t have the resources needed in times like this. Much worse if local govt is inept. This is why we do what we do. My team is still out there even though I had to come back for a bit.
