Uh, I want to come over to you, Kevin. You're making a move in the retail space, but it's specialty retail. Um, it's Home Depot.So, is this a play on the idea that we're going to get these rate cuts, we're going to see more liquidity in the housing market, or are you seeing something else there. Uh, no. I think it's just as pure as a lower rate environment because if you think about the retail consumer, we've been waiting since the pandemic for massive upgrades, appliances, wall coverings, floor coverings.B ...

Thanks to Tarrifs, i still lean this way.0.25 cuts across the next 3 meetings.We do however now see the volatility, 12% chance of a 50bps cut in September.With December on FedWatch pricing in a 350-375 target, which is what 3 rate cuts would have us at, for a 67.3%I am on the 25bps for October, as well as 3 Fed Rate cuts to happen in 2025.Easy (@EasyEatsBodega):As the effort continues to become the #1 Predictoooor on this app.I am looking at this line a lot, becuase I think 3 Rate Cuts are more or less a su ...

Unless the world falls apart and it falling apart is going to be putting uh numbers that are way beyond that 15 $20,000 margin of error that we're talking about because the quali ...
