Fed Decision – No Move

“In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3?1/2 to 3?3/4 percent. In considering the extent and timing of additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee is strongly comitted to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.”

  • January 29, 2026.
  • As part of its policy decision, the Federal Open Market Committee voted to direct the Open Market Desk at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, until instructed otherwise, to execute transactions in the System Open Market Account in accordance with the following domestic policy directive:

    “Effective January 29, 2026, the Federal Open Market Committee directs the Desk to:

    • Undertake open market operations as necessary to maintain the federal funds rate in a target range of 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 percent.
    • Conduct standing overnight repurchase agreement operations at a rate of 3.75 percent.
    • Conduct standing overnight reverse repurchase agreement operations at an offering rate of 3.5 percent and with a per-counterparty limit of $160 billion per day.
    • Increase the System Open Market Account holdings of securities through purchases of Treasury bills and, if needed, other Treasury securities with remaining maturities of 3 years or less to maintain an ample level of reserves.
    • Roll over at auction all principal payments from the Federal Reserve’s holdings of Treasury securities. Reinvest all principal payments from the Federal Reserve’s holdings of agency securities into Treasury bills.”

Which, scream gold and silver ain’t happening for a long time – so, how about them Yankeres, huh?

  1. George : and there’s the turn, Hey? A reversal … can Team Tech maintain green? TBD. FedHead is a nothing-burger so on to Mag-7 earnings. Who spent what on AI and has _anyone_ seen positive ROI? Doubt it but, we wonders Precious … Egor __/)______

  2. Dam…the blower motor went out on the cpap..I hooked up my spare and have been using it over twenty thousand hours of use..Resmed air sense 10
    well I didn’t want to toss it..good unit..so I bought a new blowerfan..took it all apart…followed the instructions while putting it back together.. its working like it should with one issue..I ended up with an extra case screw…I have looked everywhere trying to figure out where that extra screw goes.now should I tear the thing apart again or..just forget it

    • I decided . since it’s working like a new unit..I will wait with the extra screw…lol lol. if I ever have to swap out a circuit board or blower again I’ll search for where it belongs..

      • it has to be the screw in the main board..there’s only about 12 screws .two on the main board three on the blower housing four on the bottom and three on the end plate..

  3. it was Good to read Ure words again George. others, not so much. they have so little faith in anything other than we are all screwed due the illusion of their own powerlessness.

    its makes kinda sad to some men such as these who are getting older, watching the distance between now and the grave getting shorter, worry more so about the fate of the world than the destiny of their essence. having no personal working relationship with Divinity.

    will they run around screaming its the jews! its the liberals! its the chinese! its Trump! its the Rothchild Bankers! its Black Rock! its the WEF! its the Gawd damn Fags! lawdy! lawdy! its the Hippies! its the commie pinko’s!

    Until they breath their last breath?

    i spose it is their right to do so. it is their right to do so. and every day this boom of a generation people stepping over to the other side.

    what if they figured it out and they happen to be right? and they die and waisted their entire life being wrong about everything else. leaving a big pile of money on the table that their children will squander on stupid shit made in china.

    i dont have much time or patience for that nonsense any more these days. my focus is on other stuff.

    you know my step father was a race car driver. he had accumulated a giant shop full of tools. all snap on and high quality tools. 2 Race cars in the garage and a couple harleys and a really nice 1969 SS Chevelle. he had coin collection that he started when he as 5 years old back in 1954.

    when he died he left everything to my brother except a lever action 3030, that was his fathers, father who took it to Alaska durring the gold rush days. i still have it.

    a month after he was burried, my brother sold every single item. all the tools, the race cars, the Chevelle, the harleys and spent all the money on stupid shit. because my brother had no real authentic relationship with his Father. they had differnt values. they were together but lacked connection. my father spent all his time in the shop and my brother spent all his time out of the shop and my brother grew up resentful of racing because that is all his father cared about.

    and when i come on here i see doom doom we are all screwed!

    i dont have much time or patience for that nonsense any more these days. my focus is on other stuff.

    for me, I believe that the future is in the hands of God. He knows better than I what the future holds for me. I am not at the mercy of fate or buffeted about by life. I am being led in a very definite way and nothing, not a single person on this blue speck momentarily floating in a sunbeam can hold back the Hand of God on my life. not even me.

    i spend more time building an ark on the other side of life through faith than i think about china, trump, the Gawd damn Fags! or the commie pinkos.

    they get around a half of 1 percent of my attention a month if they are lucky.

    Hope you a healthy and prosperous 2026.

    off to grab 18 gears.

    until we meet again,

    I Win with God within.

    • I’ll share my “ark for the other side” plan, young’un.

      It’s simple. I’m learning to do more beholding in the here and now. I don’t have to go anywhere — just open my eyes, watch, and be amazed.

      I’ve been thinking about a Peoplenomics piece on it, but few would take the time to read it carefully and really think it through. It sprang from my recent math work on the adjacency of sequential moving averages in markets, and that new Magic Ovals chart.

      Basically, it’s about how the immediate past sows the immediate future. The big past sows the big future, and so it rolls.

      Because of that, I look at just about anything that catches my eye lately and I’m flat-ass amazed. Everything has a backstory, and it comes through the present in a kind of mix, while the future is being constantly whispered by that mix.

      Once you see it, it’s hard to unsee: how the past seeded the present, and how we’re seeding the future right now. If it were just one or two things, maybe a human mind could manage it. But the utterly complex world — with all its dimensions of time past and forward — operates across wildly different scales. Rocks, trees, people, quarks — all moving on different clocks.

      Yet it’s orchestrated. You can see it, hear it, feel it.

      I suspect that’s your God within.

      Just like you go to a lake for a quiet look and a smoke to behold it all, I sit in a chair and observe many worlds, or go for a walk in this one — coming back awed. And it’s hard not to understand that our beholding time may be the most important part of building the future ark in the next domain.

      A humble but very respectful visitor returning Home. What could be a better beginning?

      • that is a wonderful dimensional view.

        i agree and jack did have his bean stalk.

        when i look at all this chaos brew in the news? i laigh to myself and say in a few short days The Might of Atlantas was nothing more than a whisper on the wind.

        we knew more back then George than we do now.

        one of the first laws ever etched in cune form was the Death Pentalty for using scocery against another without thier knowlege and consent.

        it was one of the first laws in sumeria ever written for a reason.

        will Donald Trump save us on us on his flying seadoo against the wrath of Emprorer Ming this time?

        we shall see.

        thank you for the thoughts and words George. i have a choice to make. so i will be quiet and think a while.

        • another fork presented itself. something is working overtime to keep me stateside. just blew my mind. someone i helped over in wyoming called me out of the blue. made me an offer and i immediatly replied, yes yes yes, of course i am most interested!

          they said, when i asked myself who would be the best fit for this position, i sat down with pen and paper, drifted off for a moment in a day dream. then i looked down and i had written your name on it without realising it. and i thought that is odd. then i thought oh Andy is the best fit for this! so i prayed about it and decided to call you.

          i havent talked to them in almost 2 years.

          i laughed and how awesome! Yes! Yes! i am interested.

          i have been delayed for almost a year going to MSC and now i’m begining to understand why.

          Divine Timing.

          thanks again George,

          I Win with God Within!

        • Yeah, Andy. When you really begin to see how [the ONtology, God, Great Zpirit – or fill in your own name for it] works, you will come to appreciate – as you just noted- how our past behaviors “ripple forward” in time. This is the perspection that is driving my research both in Peoplenomics “magic ovals” work, and it’s also – longer-term – when the new websitee time-engineering.com will go. Becvause mastery of the present doesn’dt even begin to puet you in line for one of the Dude’s understudy gigs. That alone is a great prerequiste, but itd’s not the whole thing. I have been silently watching your own “:probabilities drift” because as “potential futures” change, the vxery physical survival of people changes. You see, MSC would have put you on the Sea. Sea level. And yet, though imperfect, fgreat seers and receivers (I won’t call them prophets – they are the fine-tuned receivers of noise formingd future] have warned a great deal lately about about how there will come a terriblwe gdlobe impacteing earthquake. Now, in my (steill and always evolving) beholding work, I just couldn’t see a path where the Dude (events forward) would be allowed to be in harms way (sea level) pending great developments. So dwthe “weighting of fsuture changfed” at that point. And what happened – in the quintillion events people don’t notice every day – is thaty a critical futurew projection shifted. To wherre Andy will be “shown” the path to hbigh ground. And while at the same time, there will be a re-weighting (heavier) in the direction of massive quake, tsunamis and such. Now, if you will, imagine a “Million Andy’s” out there. They sense – but most often don’t “hear” the “forging of future” because they are full of (bullshit) noise that impairs cognitdion. However, the genius of Clif qHigh’s worek was that (coming at it from anot her direction) he discovered that the internet would prsovide “signal” See, even if you don’t specifically go to MSC, under change in the subsgtrate is done – the future re-cast. Is it pareidolia (false pattern recognition) OR is there a triple letter score (missing math of the masses) in play? A rfew further thoughts in the Friday ATR section, but you mayt find it useful – one traveler/beholder to another.

    • Spent a couple of hours this morning going over evidence at the lawyer’s office. Found enough for another targeted information request. Not powerless, nor chasing ghosts in the bushes. I now know a lot more about how the players and their minions go about blacklisting and terrorizing their victims while keeping the law industry hands off. Haven’t barred the doors yet, but I remember No Country for Old Men.

  4. Damn good stuff, Andy n GU. Mostly similar here. This beautiful morning brought only bright sun under a golden cloud above the passage into the river from the sea. Top of the flood tide with the moon fuller each day so the route is deep enough to safely enter. We are blessed to watch the changes in case ever wanting to enter. I’m sure we need to be floating and moating and know that Andy is right. Being almost eighty definitely modifies perspective. I only imagine the world the Dude would approve of for us. All the rest is not part of that now. Just happy to be here now.

    Stiks
