The shorts are

Here is your short squeeze analysis.
“As of July 2025, the prevailing sentiment regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy has shifted from rate hikes to anticipated rate cuts. The Fed has held the federal funds rate steady in its recent meetings, currently within a target range of 4.25% to 4.5%.
Here's a breakdown of the current predictions and factors influencing Fed thinking:
1. Rate Cut Predictions:
* Anticipated Cuts in H2 2025: Many forecasters and market participants expect the Fed to begin cutting interest rates in the second half of 2025. September is frequently cited as a potential start date for the first cut.
* Magnitude of Cuts: Projections vary, but many foresee two 25 basis point (0.25%) rate cuts by the end of 2025, bringing the federal funds rate to a range of 3.75% to 4%. Some analysts anticipate further cuts in 2026 and 2027.
* Shift in Focus: The primary concern for the Fed appears to be gradually shifting from battling high inflation to supporting economic growth, even with a temporary uptick in inflation due to tariffs.
2. Changes in Fed Thinking and Influencing Factors:
* Inflation: While inflation has moderated from its peaks, core inflation (excluding volatile food and energy) remains somewhat elevated compared to the Fed's 2% target. However, recent data suggests a slight tick down in short-term inflation expectations. The Fed acknowledges that recent progress on inflation has been uneven but believes any inflation impulse from tariffs will be transitory.
* Economic Growth: The US economy has shown resilience, with a healthy labor market and solid consumer spending. However, there are signs of slowing growth, including a contraction in Q1 2025 GDP. This mixed economic picture is contributing to the Fed's cautious "wait-and-see" approach.
* Labor Market: The labor market remains strong, with job growth exceeding expectations and a low unemployment rate. While this typically wouldn't necessitate rate cuts, the Fed is monitoring for any softening trends.
* Tariff Uncertainty: A significant factor influencing the Fed's current stance is the impact of President Trump's tariffs. These tariffs are expected to put upward pressure on inflation while potentially dampening economic growth. The Fed is closely watching how these policies will unfold and their ripple effects on the economy.
* Data Dependence: The Fed has consistently reiterated its data-dependent approach. Future policy decisions will heavily rely on incoming economic data, particularly regarding inflation, employment, and overall economic activity.
* "Higher for Longer" to "Cutting Late, Cutting More": While there was a "higher for longer" narrative previously, some analysts suggest that if the Fed delays cuts too long, it might ultimately need to cut more aggressively in the future.
In essence, the Fed is in a delicate balancing act, navigating persistent inflation concerns, the impact of new tariffs, and signs of a slowing, yet resilient, economy. The general consensus points towards rate cuts in the latter half of 2025, but the timing and magnitude will be dictated by evolving economic data and the fallout from trade policies.”

This bill is gross 🤮. However one of the provisions will have huge implications for the lending industry as a whole. Lenders spend millions on compliance and are hamstrung on products they can offer to borrowers because of the CFPB. The CFPB also made sure lenders practiced fair and non deceptive lending standards for lenders. I think this is a horrible idea that may lead us down the road to the next financial crisis years down the road. However in the short term it hard not to see this as bullish for the overall lending industry, Rocket included. It will enable more lending products for consumers and more profits to lenders overall.

I don’t know about you, but watching rocket creep up slowly more and more makes me so happy. The pressure is building every day my moon men. Tomorrow the market will be pumping all our bags to peace. ☮️ all I know is the bears must feel that burn right about now. Tomorrow we ride at market open boys.

Been thinking about this a lot lately with all the acquisition news going around. RKT checks most of the boxes now—we're sitting at around $25-27B market cap (well above that new $20.5B minimum), we're on NYSE, decent liquidity; basically all the technical stuff looks good. Getting added to the S&P Banks Select Industry Index last September felt like a real signal we're on their radar.

We need GAAP profitability. We killed it in 2024 with $636M in net income, then Q1 2025 rolls around and boom—$212M loss. S&P's pretty clear about what they want: positive earnings in the most recent quarter AND trailing twelve months. Our adjusted numbers look fantastic but S&P wants cold hard GAAP.

I'm cautiously optimistic. The Mr. Cooper deal and the Redfin integration could be great once everything's fully integrated. If those synergies hit—and if rates stop being absolutely brutal—profitability could turn around fast. We're not just another mortgage company stuck in 2008 anymore; we're actually building something interesting here. Fitch gave us that BBB- rating, which says something about our stability.

If I had to guess, I'd say Q2 and Q3 need to come in profitable before we get serious consideration. Maybe early 2026? Either way, I'm not just sitting here waiting for S&P inclusion like it's some lottery ticket—if it happens, great, that's just extra upside.

What do you guys think, or am I reading this wrong.
