The David Lin Report 2025-11-20 2026-01-31

Inflation did not slide below the Fed's 2% target going into 2026. CPI rose 2.4% year-over-year in January 2026, and December 2025 CPI was 2.7%—both well above the 2% threshold. (https://www.bls.gov/cpi/)

The David Lin Report 2025-10-29 2026-01-29

The prediction claimed 'continued consolidation' (a bearish claim of sideways/downward movement with caution about froth), but gold instead rallied 33.5% to reach a period high of $5586.2, representing a 40.3% gain from the prediction date price of $3983.7, which directly contradicts the consolidation thesis.

The David Lin Report 2025-05-09 2025-09-21

The Fed held rates steady throughout summer 2025 (June–August) and only cut at the September 16-17, 2025 FOMC meeting (effective September 18), which is at the very end of summer/start of fall — not 'summer' in the conventional June–August sense. The prediction of a summer rate cut was not literally fulfilled. (https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomcminutes20250917.htm)
