How many recessions should we have in a 10 year period, after just coming out of one? A recession say, every three years? I guess hoping for a correction once every two-3 years or so was wishful thinking then!
Fed policy is mostly concerned about the US economy not stock markets. Those who don't understand this will be forever struggling to understand where markets may go and why. I like to look at the underlying motivations of all the big players, ask what they are most likely to do in most scenarios, and take that into account in any investment decision.
He's ranting that the fed hasn't brought down the fed funds rate quick enough? Quick enough? He should be estatic that the fed funds rate is at historical lows at 2%!!!!
That fed policy is long long long gone. If the fed policy was mostly concerned about the economy they would have had rates well above 6-7% the last 3-4 years but the good old fed wanted to make wallstreet happy and give them everything and anything, that's why we have a fed funds rate at 2% today. If the fed played their role they would have plenty of powder to play the recession game but now with rates at 2% and the world at 0 to negative rates and a crisis on hand where are they going to go after they cut rates straight to zero? Negative is where they are going. It's coming.
Biggest point drop of 2019 happened today and another fun fact while we're at it: 4th biggest point drop in wallstreet history!!!!
Could possibly be, but with the vix in the 20s volatility is going to be fun. I would start to dip buy if the vix catapulted above 30! Still bearish but there will be huge moves to the upside!
