I was early, but I do now think they will pause cuts starting with their next meeting on January 29th (just 9 days after the inauguration).Folks in the press are already calling this month’s rate cut a “hawkish cut,” meaning that Fed Chair Jerome Powell will take time in his press conference tomorrow to downplay the speed at which the Fed will cut rates in 2025.

I went to the BP conference in New Orleans a few years ago.

When it becomes exploitative as it has with China, it's bad and defensive actions are required.

I did not go to the best ever conference, but I heard from people who went the sentiment there was the same.

In my defense, it was so long ago, it's hard to remember. ;)

That is not a defense, but people learn better through experience and that is being taken advantage of.  

However you do have a new government that seems committed to cutting costs, cutting defense spending, and getting us out of wartime efforts. 

Constance Kang go to real conferences, REIA’s, meetups, spend time on BP and network with other investors.Get started at some point and you’ll learn a ton.

Since the sponsor presumably did not comply with the Regulation the sponsor has no reasonable defense, and the investor should receive a judgement entitling the, to recovery of their investment plus interest.

You're much better off spending that money on a conference like STR Wealth Con or something similar.
