  • Roger Altman, Evercore founder and senior chairman, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the latest market trends, why he believes the market is enjoying a 'goldilocks' macro environment, state of the economy, impact of tariffs on Chinese imports, whether a soft-landing is still achievable, the Fed's interest rate outlook, and more.

    After experimenting with stocks since late 2021, I've shifted to 100% S&P 500. Still regretting not doing so from the start. Now i am Considering a return to individual stocks in 2024, but uncertain about safely investing close to 300k in the market.

    Let's be clear, current inflation was caused by the Fed and Congress's RESPONSE to the pandemic. Both Republican and Democrats in Congress voted for stimulus packages that more than necessary and the Fed waited to long to begin tightening conditions once the stimulus packages were approved by Congress.

      Yes, the excuse is there is a new floor. People are still purchasing vehicles that were 28k in 2018 for 41k today. If sales fall enough prices will but if people are willing to pay the prices will stay. Same reason home prices are still high, people are still paying the high prices. If vehicle sales fall of a cliff we'll get our lower prices.

    I don't think 102% Tariff on EV's from China is out of line.
    They will flood the US with $18K priced compact EV sedans and small SUV's or Crossovers. That is the price point where the WORKING POOR can really start to adopt the new technology instead of buying some Cheap Korean or Mexican-American compact SUV or car at $23-24K price.
    What is probably not spoken of is that China would also try to monopolize the facilities for the service and the manufacture of parts by Chinese firms too. Even here in America.
    So it would be a further shift away from the traditional American Manufactured automobile and the US based Dealership and US based service centers.
    China would try to own as much as possible of the after market stuff, after the sale as it were, where the real money is to be made. Cars are barely break even, except in the higher tier SUV and Trucks in the domestic market. It's the parts and service where the Dealership earns most of it's profit.

      @humanbeing5300 9 дней назад

      That money contributed to inflation somewhat because it increased demand when supply was constricted due to pandemic supply chains but the original root cause of inflation was the supply chain and the cash infusion probably made it a bit worse. A good percentage of the population spent that money on day 1 on necessities and not luxuries so it wasn’t as big a factor as the supply constriction. There is also a corporate greed aspect about raising prices in the face of record profits. Corporations do not “have” to raise prices, they choose to.

      Disagree that the reaction to the pandemic in hindsight was not necessary...the reaction to the pandemic from a medical point of view and from an economical point of view seems warranted. Economically speaking, one could also argue the reason we didn't fall into a recession or even a depression is because we did print a bunch of money when we did. I'm not saying we won't fall into a recession eventually, obviously the fed is trying to slow down the economy, but if you recall, Sweden was very moderate in their covid response and they have been in recession since 2023 and we aren't. Lets be Americans first and not Republicans or Democrats first. This Liberal Bad Conservative Good or vice versa mentality is played out and unhelpful. Not everything from one side is right on everything which is why we need a balanced approach. While maybe we won't agree on this issue, let's agree to elect people that are moderate and willing to negotiate.
