February seems early, considering there are more people that will be indicted and maybe two other criminal investigations ongoing. But who knows. I normal felony for any Joe Blow off the street could take two years in the court system before arriving at a conclusion.

Maria Butina asking Trump about US/Russian relations. At the same time Trump was working on Trump Tower in Moscow and lying to the American public about it. No need for sanctions he says.

Remember to the dismay of our IC, Trump wanted to ease up on Russia immediately after taking office, even after he was told what they did to our elections. After that Trump, Kushner, Flynn and Kislyak  discussed setting up a back channel with the Kremlin, unbeknownst to our own intelligence communities.

The stock market was "fake" when Obama was president, just like UE numbers. As soon as Trump became POTUS then it was his stock market and his UE numbers. Huge success! But as it's been stated already he came into office with those trajectories already in motion. His tax cuts, which have increased our deficits and will add trillions in debt, made Wall Street rally for the short term, but that was about it. Time to deflate, and why I wanted nothing to do with this market and said so months ago. Wildest swings I remember seeing...when you have a drunk lunatic at the helm, expect rough seas.

The Fed rates play a small role, but so do tariffs, China, job numbers, the streets' faith in this administration stick to his promises, Trump's criminal investigation etc. The interest rates really haven't gone up that much IMO. Assuming the median price for a home of 250k nationwide, you're talking about approximately 75 bucks more per month. Hardly significant in terms of payments. Affordability is an issue in some cities, and pairing that with higher interest rates would compound the issue of affordability, but the interest rate itself is not what's slowing the market down IMO.
