_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Federal Reserve raised the federal fund rate by 75 basis points which is the highest rate hike in nearly three decades. The committee decided to go with the more aggressive rate hike due to the last CPI report that came out for the month of may. In the report, inflation came in higher than expectations at 8.6%
In this meeting we also got the summary of economic projections (also known as the SEP). This report tells us where members of the committee believe the economy is heading in the future.
Overall the meeting went pretty good. The Fed appears to be prepared to be more aggressive towards inflation to abide by their mandate of maximum employment and inflation at 2%.

Economists from major WallStreet Firms are betting for a 75bp rate hike in tomorrow's FOMC meeting on Wednesday. This is because the CME FedWatchTool data is showing that there is a 93% probability we see a 75bp rate hike on Monday.
The Federal Reserve is looking to make the aggressive hike of 75bp to of course combat inflation and so that they don't lose their credibility by not handling inflation as they should.

The Not So Good CPI Report | May Inflation Numbers
Details about the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the month of May

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Today the consumer price index was released for the month of May. Inflation came in at 1% month over month with the expectation of coming in at 0.7%
Less food and energy items (Core Inflation) came in at 0.6% with the expectations of coming in at 0.5%
Inflation increased 8.6% over the year for all items.
Many people were hoping that we saw a peak in last month's CPI report for April but with this data we see no evidence of a peak. This is going to cause the Federal Reserve to take a more aggressive approach against inflation in their next meeting on June 15th. Coming off this information, the market had a good sell off as people didn't like what the CPI report consisted of. We can also expect that the Fed will be going through with a 50 basis point rate right in their next meeting.
Overall the report was not good.
Please stop by the channel on June 15th after the FOMC meeting. I will be making a video covering the main points of that meeting. In the meeting they will be discussing their actions while considering this report so be sure to stop by!

Biden's Plan To Forgive Federal Student Loan Debt | What You Should Be Doing Instead
The Biden administration is planning to forgive federal student loan debt for borrowers in the near future. Here’s the details.

_________________________________________________________
The Biden administration is looking to forgive $230 billion dollars worth of federal student loans, settling the balance for roughly a third of borrowers.
Many people are affected by the student loan crisis we have here in America. If you are someone who has student loans it is your own financial responsibility to get them out of your life for YOU. If you are someone who has student loans, you have probably been hearing all this talk about the idea of forgiving student loans and you may be wondering what you should be doing. Should you pay them off? Should you just wait to see if the government forgives them? In this video I discuss what this proposed plan to forgive federal student loans will more than likely consist of and other details. I also explain what you should be doing if you have student loan debt given these circumstances.
If you are considering college or if you have a child going off to college soon, I quickly discuss ways you can go to college debt free to avoid student loans. You do not need to get student loans and go into debt to get a college education, nor should you.
The documentary “Borrowed Future” by the Ramsay Solutions team is a great documentary that discusses the student loan crisis we have here in America. I highly recommend giving it a watch if you are considering college or have student loan debt.

Managing money can be a difficult and stressful task. That’s why whether you make 10k a year or 1 million dollars a year, you need a budget. Budgeting is one of the most important financial tools that you will ever use during your financial journey. Without a budget, you put yourself at risk of things like debt, overspending, emergencies, lack of financial control, stress, and many more things.
In this video, I explain the entire budgeting process whether you get paid salary, hourly, or by commission. The budget is a tool that everyone needs to be using if they bring in an income. The budget will change the way you live your life and the way you manage your finances forever. The budget will provide you a plan and you will be able to see if your spending habits are align with your goals. Overall the budget is going to give you the intentionality that you need to be where you want to be financially one day. It’s going to keep you organized and disciplined. If you are not using a budget or not using it correctly, START TODAY! It is going to make managing your finances so much less stressful and you’re going to feel in control of your finances instead of it controlling you.
I have also made two different budgeting spreadsheet templates that are completely free for you to use yourself!

LUNA Crashed 100% | What You Need To Know
#LUNA #TerraUSD #Crypto
Within just a few days, the cryptocurrency TerraLUNA crashed 100% from over $100 to fractions of a penny. This crash resulted in many people losing a ton of money and even effected the entire crypto market temporarily. You might find yourself wondering how in the world did this happen?
To understand what happened we first have to acknowledge that LUNA is the sister coin to the stablecoin TerraUSD also known as UST. Unlike other stablecoins that are backed by real assets such as the dollar, some stablecoins reply on complex algorithms to maintain its peg to the dollar by a system of minting and burning.
TerraUSD is one of these algorithmic stablecouns that maintains its peg to the US dollar by using linked cryptocurrency LUNA.
The reason why LUNA and UST came crashing down is because Citadel and BlackRock offered to sell a large amount of BTC at a discounted price to Do Kwon, the founder of Terra. He took the bait as they wanted him to do which gave citadel and blackrock a large portion of Terra’s liquidity.
In an article by Coindesk, they talk about this thing called the “Anchor Protocol” which acts as a high yield savings account for UST. In the article they say that about 75% of all UST was held on anchor. Citadel and BlackRock knew that Anchor was a big ponzie scheme and if they dumped their position of UST, it would cause more withdraws than Anchor would be able to repay.
This caused a massive sell off of UST which ended up ballooning the supply of LUNA and plummeted the price. This caused the balancing mechanism between TerraUSD and LUNA to break and stop functioning.
Since Terra is an algorithmic stable coin, it's going to be very difficult for the project to make a comeback. However, people on WallStreetBets are already hopping on the LUNA train to try and ride the thing back up in hopes for huge gains. It should be noted that this play is very very risky so if you’re speculating do your research, have a plan, and never invest more money than you’re willing to lose!

A Recession Is Among Us | How to Be Prepared
The stock market has been a bloodbath since the beginning of the year. We just witnessed the worst start to the stock market since 1939 with the nasdaq composite being down over 20% YTD and the S&P 500 index being down about 15% YTD. Since the the covid shutdown, we had a massive bull run despite the pandemic. This was a result of the Federal Reserve printing a massive amount of money by buying assets such as treasury bonds and mortgage backed securities. This has left inflation soaring 8.5% for the year in march. With the Federal Reserve ending their tapering process and going straight to tightening monetary policy.
With all of the circumstances there has been a lot of fear over the possibility of a recession. On April 1st of this year, we actually saw the yield for the 10 year treasury bond drop below the 2 year treasury bond. This is known as the “Inverted Yield Curve”. Historically the inverted yield curve has been a reliable indicator to predict upcoming recessions.
Also, during the FOMC meeting on May 4th, Jerome Powell was asked if he believed we would see a soft landing and Powell seemed very confident that we wouldn’t see a recession. He expressed that the economy is actually in a good position and can handle the tighter monetary policy. Looking at the data, almost every time the federal reserve begins a rate hike cycle, we see a recession.
Federal Fund Rate and Recessions

The truth is if we are going to see a recession, we are likely seeing the worst right now. The best way to prepare for a recession or bear markets is to continue dollar cost averaging in good large cap stocks, index funds, mutual funds. The market is always going to see corrections and bear markets so as long as you are well diversified and good funds you will see your portfolio appreciate all the time.
In the meantime, cover your eyes and ears and ride the wild rollercoaster until all of this comes to an end.

FOMC Meeting RECAP 5/4/22 | Finally some good news!
#FOMC #FederalReserve #RateHike
Federal Reserve Explained in 10 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCQamaDZfJA
Today the Federal Open Market Committee had their May 4th FOMC meeting. In the beginning of the meeting the Fed informed us that they will be raising the federal fund rate by 50 basis points as expected.
Early on in the meeting Jerome Powell discussed the Feds plan to significantly decrease the size of their balance sheet. On the Federal Reserve website they posted a plan for the balance sheet runoff stating "Beginning on June 1, For Treasury securities, the cap will initially be set at $30 billion per month and after three months will increase to $60 billion per month and For agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities, the cap will initially be set at $17.5 billion per month and after three months will increase to $35 billion per month."
Feds plan for their balance sheet:
https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20220504b.htm
The Federal Reserve is looking to transition from quantitative easing to quantitative tightening.
The Fed chair Jerome Powell believes that the Federal Reserve will be successful with having a soft landing. He sates that housing spending and business investments are fairly strong, the labor market is strong, and that the economy is in a position where it can handle the tighter monetary policy."
Jerome Powell is confident that the Federal Reserve will use their tools to restore price stability without causing a recession.
Jerome Powells made the hawkish statement "The Federal Reserve is looking to increase rates expeditiously" which left pretty much every stock ripping in that moment.
Overall this is the meeting that the market needed. The Fed came out and pretty much said everything that the market was expecting which is a great thing. The market appeared to love what was said in the meeting.

Weekly Stock Market Update 4/29/22 | Recession soon? & Elon Buys Out Twitter
#StockMarket #Recession #Economy
Nothing in this video is financial advice. This video is for entertainment purposes only!
The market is on its way to being the worst month since October of 2008 when we faced the financial crisis. With the Federal Reserve looking to tighten monetary policy even further, things aren’t looking too great for the market. Also in Q1, we seen a reduction in GDP which was the first time since early 2020 when the covid shutdown occurred. This means we are officially halfway to a recession. A recession can be defined as a reduction in GDP for two consecutive quarters.
This week the market was on a roller coaster as 160 companies in the S&P reported their quarterly earnings for Q1 this week. Overall the earnings weren’t as bad as you may expect. To see all of the companies that had their earnings this week, click on the link:
BTC and Ethereum continue to struggle to hold on to those key levels of $40,000 for BTC and $3,000 for Ethereum.
The Apes had another down week as AMC and GME got smacked down 6-8%.
This week we had breaking news that the Twitter board has officially accepted Elon Musk’s offer to buyout the social media platform for $54.20 per share. The valuation of the entire deal was about $44 billion. Elon has plans to restore the free speech on Twitter and to take the company private. In the process of buying twitter, on April 26th, Elon sold about $8.4 Billion worth of his Tesla shares to make the purchase. Many Tesla investors were concerned about this happening once he first talked about buying twitter and I am sure there was a good handful of people who though that this whole twitter thing was a big distraction for Elon. These reasons has caused additional selling pressure for Tesla’s stock. The good news is Elon Musk has came out and said that he will not be selling off any more of his shares as of right now.
To end the video I quickly remind everyone about the FOMC meeting that will be taking place next week on May 3rd and 4th. In that meeting, we are expecting to see a 50 basis point rate hike and other important information regarding the economy. If a 50 basis point rate hike comes to fruition, expect some fear and panic to flood the markets. This is a very important FOMC meeting coming up so make sure you don’t miss out on it. If you don’t want to sit for the whole meeting and listen to J.Pow talk for a few hours, Just stop by the channel because I will be making a separate video of all the details that the meeting consisted of so you don’t miss a thing.

How to Read Candle Sticks (Stock Market for Beginners)
#Trading #Stocks #Investing
When you first get into the stock market, you might feel intimidated when you look at a chart for the first time. The screens are often overwhelming with all types of charts, lines, indictors and so on. In this video I just wanted to quickly explain how to read the candle sticks. The candle sticks may seem a little confusing or intimidating but they’re actually fairly easy to read. Candle sticks offer more information than a typical line chart. Knowing how to read these sticks is something you’re going to need to know if you plan on trading within the stock market.
I’m going to have many videos just like this one but until then, stop by the channel for more videos about finances and the economy!

Weekly Stock Market Update 4/15/22 | Inflation Reports and Elon Musk vs Twitter
Weekly stock market update for the week ending on 4/15/22.
#Stocks #Inflation #ElonMusk
Nothing in this video is financial advice! Only entertainment purposes only.
Friday the market was closed due to Good Friday so we only had 4 trading days this week.
On Tuesday, the CPI report came in with inflation being up 1.2 percent for march. Which was 0.3 percent higher than expectations. However, CPI less food and energy (CPI calculated without food and energy) was only up 0.3% with it being up 0.5% in February. This indicates that core inflation is actually going down. Hopefully it follows that trend.
Link to CPI Report: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi....
Also on Wednesday, we had the PPI report which is the producer price index. The PPI was up 1.4% as it was expected to come in at 1.1%. The price for final demand less food, energy, and trade services moved up 0.9% when it was expected to come in at 0.5%. So it pretty much was DOUBLE expectations (Not Good).
Link to PPI Report: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ppi....
and lastly we have Elon Musk vs Twitter. Towards the end of last month, Elon Musk became twitters largest shareholder with a 9.2% stake in the company. Elon Musk has been fighting for free speech for social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and twitter. He believes twitter needs a reform and needs to be taken private. On April 14th, Elon Musk made an offer to buy twitter at $54.20 per share which would have a total valuation of $43 billion dollars. On April 15th, Twitter denied Elons offer and even adopted the poison pill stockholder plan. This would make it to where Elon Musk cannot own more than 15% of the company without giving the shareholders of twitter the ability to buy shares at a discounted price. This would dilute Elon's position in the company and make it even more difficult to increase his ownership in the company. I personally believe that twitters decision to use the poison pill is just another negotiating tactic and I am expecting for them to do further negotiation until they come to a conclusion.
I will be doing a stock market update video just like this one every week on Friday. I want to take everything that happened in the market during the week and cover it all in one video. I want to look through the indexes and ETF's, see how the sector's performed each week, which stocks performed well and which didn't, and to cover any important news that as came out during the week.

Gas and Oil to the Moon
As we all know, gas prices are significantly higher than what they were just a few weeks ago. Since the onset of the Coronavirus, the entire economy has been on a rollercoaster and we have faced a global shutdown that lead to a huge supply chain problem, which then lead to all time high inflation since 1982. We also know that the Keystone XL pipeline project was officially abandoned in June of 2021 by President Biden due to the environmental damage it would cost, we have been anticipating rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, and of course there is currently a war going on between Russia and Ukraine. All of these variables are now having us ask if we are facing a recession. We know that the recent price surge of gas and oil may have to do with some of these events but with all of this stuff going on it can be difficult to put a finger on why the price of gas and oil are increasing. In this video I dig into each of these topics to get a true understanding of why the price of gas and oil are rocketing.
During these hard times, remember that there is people facing the loss of life in Ukraine. Please give your thoughts and prayers to those who are fighting for their lives over there.

BEST Methods To Get Out of Debt
Debt is something that 80% of Americans deal with and it holds them back from their financial goals. Borrowing has became the norm in the country and it shouldn’t be that way. If you decide to not clean up the debt in your life, you’re going to be left with a huge mess with very little options later in life.
In this video, I do my best to stress why you need to get out of debt and I also explain the two methods that people use to get out of debt, such as the debt avalanche and the debt snowball method. These two methods work very similarly to each other but they both come with their own pros in cons. If you are in debt and want to escape, pick one of these two methods and get going!
Getting out of debt is going to buy you a lifetime of options and financial stability so do whatever it takes to get it out of your life and keep it out of your life! You work way to hard to not be able to enjoy the fruits in life so please do not let consumer debt take that away from you. Get on a budget, get on a plan, and start tackling your debts!

The Federal Reserve system is one of the largest institutions in the entire world and has a huge impact on the macroeconomics all around us. Many people who are keeping up with this economy probably hear about the Federal Reserve pretty often but they might not fully understand what the Fed even is or what they do. I wanted to take the time to quickly explain what the Federal Reserve is, what they do, and how they have an impact on all of us. I also took the time to recap on what the Federal Reserve has done since the onset of the Coronavirus. We all have been living in strange times the past couple years with this economy and the Federal Reserve plays a big role when it comes to the condition of the economy. The Federal Reserve conducts the monetary policy for the nation which means they control how much money is in an economy and how new money is supplied. The Fed also maintains things like inflation and unemployment which obviously has an affect on all of us. The Fed also plays a significant role on investors as their decisions has big impacts on the economy. It is important to understand what the Federal Reserve is and the tools they use to keep the economy stable so we know how they affect us.
I do my best to breakdown what the Federal Reserve is in 10 minutes by discussing why the Central Bank was created, how it is structured, and their processes. I cover things like the Federal Fund Rate, Quantitative Easing, Tapering, and tightening and loosening of monetary policy.
