According to a Google AI search, yes: All functions, even speaking engagements, continue since the Fed is independently funded. One point to consider, though, is that their ability to assess the current state of the economy is hampered due to the gov’t agencies that gather & report economic data being shut down.

I still think there’s a decent chance that private equity & private credit could be the first shoe to drop (cracks in the financial system), but whether that turns out to be the case, the only way I would consider going long KKR is if it can snap back above its 200-day MA’s that it just lost. As of now, here’s where I think the stock is headed (daily chart):

SNAP buy signal to come on a solid break above the intersecting downtrend line & 200-MA’s

I shared CMG as a long setup back on Sept 17th with a buy signal to come on a breakout above the bullish falling wedge (that chart & the updated chart below). The stock basically broke out right after that & is already about half-way to my first target in what I call “no-man’s land” (smack between support & resistance) so not really an objective entry at this time. Maybe on a pullback as the stock looks good up to these two price targets and the 200-MA’s, assuming the stock market can hold up for a bit longer.
