    I've been getting some push back from parents about interfering with their child's overall happiness, social life, and not allowing them to choose what they want to do. The IVC / UCLA pathway is not for most high school students. I believe that this pathway is ideal for the Creative students who...

    The Fed will not cut rates in the Apr/May meeting and June meeting. The Fed raised rates too late to fight inflation. They will again start to cut rates too late. They will not cut because the inflation is headed towards 2%, but will be forced to cut. Welcome to Bidenomics, a broken economy with...

    @irvinehomeowner, In all honesty I hope that I am wrong. Billionaire hedge managers like Ray Dalio and Jeffrey Gundlach were also wrong on their forecasts since 2020 and I am not smarter than these guys. Just saying what I am seeing from my economic research.
