3 Qstns for Today's Fed Meeting

Dec 10, 2025 15:40 | by Ashraf Laidi

The 1st question is how many dissenters will there be to today's widely anticipated rate cut. The 2nd question is whether the Dot Plot will forecast 3 or 4 rate cuts. If it forecasts 3 or less, then it can trigger a modest selloff in indices and gold with a boost for USD. Will I sell EURUSD? No. Will I Short Nasdaq100? Not at all. I am in fact waiting for a pullback to get in. The 3rd question is whether Powell delivers hawkish surprises at his conference, such as expressing concern about inflation, or sounding sceptical about more than 2 rate cuts.  Do Not be surprised if Trump announces today (or tomorrow) his nomination for next Fed Chairman, who is due to replace Powell in May 2026. A choice in Kevin Hassett would be a powerful boost for EURUSD, AUDUSD, gold and indices. Last Friday, I told the WhatsApp Bdcst Group about a stock that is less than $30. The stock is AAOI and today is at $30 from $26.  This is for my investments and is not via leverage.  

5 Stocks Worked for me Best in 2025

Dec 5, 2025 14:42 | by Ashraf Laidi

More than 12 stocks yielded me more than 200% in 2025, but the most oustanding for me this year were QBTS, ALAB, NBIS, TSMC and BBIO. I mentioned all of these to our WhatsApp Bdcst Group upon purchase. The worst stocks I own this year are NVO and MSTR . In October of last year, a lady asked me what to do with $6,000. I'll tell you which stocks I gave her, helping raise her balance to $22,000 by this autumn. All data available upon request.  I only trade stocks 1-1 NO LEVERAGE, NO MARGIN.
