Latest Fed Rate Hike

Post by Taco »

No one cares about interest rate hikes and that will never change. However, the latest rate hike a few days ago by the Fed is a problem. The Fed has raised rates 3 times in the last 6 months.

What’s the deal here?

The Fed is “taking away the punchbowl” from the markets. Sure, stocks might hold up relatively well today or tomorrow, but the reality is that the $14 trillion market rig of the last seven years is ending

Wasn't it you that was saying rates were too low and it was a sign of collapse, now you're saying they're going up and it's a sign of collapse- at least be consistent, wtf.
