Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices?

@deludedaudiophile Not sure I agree the prices come down, but for sure we get a lot more for the money?

You want a sale? Pickup some QQQ with former FAANG now MAANA subsubsistance bread.

Demand stops them. It’s always about demand and supply. Yes, prices do come down. The housing market has been riding up and up, but right now it has peaked and has actually come off.  Why? Demand is down. 

Hifi prices are already outrageous and will only go up. Many manufacturers have already increased their prices and more to follow, even in the upcoming recession.

Housing may or may not have peaked, it may or may not be dropping...housing may be taking a breather due to lack of supply fatigue. If someone is fortunate to have no debt and own their home, then you have an inflation hedge. Relative buying power for your housing remains in tact.

Regarding the rest of economic handwringing, if you have a properly balanced portfolio of assets and actively rebalance periodically then the churn isn't unwelcome. I love the comment about the market dropping yesterday without the same level of zeal for the day prior. The stock market performance for the week isn't a big deal. Audiophiles have predicted 50 of the last 5 recessions.
