(12/8/22) Will the Fed provide clarification of future plans at next week's meeting? There's still downside risk to markets; could Santa Claus skip Broad & Wall this year? Markets need to hold upward trend; Bonds' miserable year...until now. The Double-dog Dare: Evaluating investment opportunities; the problem with private investments is liquidity. Is the risk worth the return? The problem with Private REIT's: Things are great until they aren't; what happens when investment funds "gate" distributions: You can't get your money out. Blackstone investors want their money back, thanks to falling real estate prices & contagion. Blackstone is another domino in a string with FTX and UK pension funds as the Fed pulls liquidity from markets. Could Blackston trigger a Fed pivot?
