Everyone reading 1984 but few will change their mind about 2020.

My 90s Stanford undergrad experience didnt feel socialist, but there was never a mention of Rand, Libertarianism, or what inflation is.

Expected, sell the news, was able to buy the mini dip after the announcement Re-allocated from a few years ago, went from 0 to 25% gold, 25% VTSMX, 50% long treasury. Large emergency fund. If they decide to run the deficits with short issues only I'm toast. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A091RC1...

Buy the rumor sell the news. Long rates will rise until (if!) the Fed steps in.
