The Fed held rates steady at 3.5%-3.75% at its January 27-28, 2026 meeting, not cutting by 25 basis points as predicted. The FOMC voted to maintain the target range unchanged, pausing after three consecutive cuts in the fall of 2025. (https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20260128a.htm)

The David Lin Report 2025-08-25 2026-03-31

The prediction that inflation would be higher in H2 2025 and early 2026 proved wrong. CPI fell from ~3.01% in September 2025 to 2.74% in November, 2.7% in December, and further to 2.4% in January and February 2026 — a clear downward trend, not an increase.

The David Lin Report 2025-04-26 2025-05-26

The prediction claimed equities would 'tank again in a big way,' but the period low of $5433.24 represents only a 1.7% decline from the prediction date price of $5528.75, which does not constitute a significant crash, while the period high reached 5% gains, contradicting the bearish forecast.
