Isnt the Fed Buying up stocks now or did i woosh something here?

Unemployment shouldn’t even be a government mandate let alone the feds.

They are, because they now have 3 mandates. And market performance is one of those mandates. Which is ridiculous to say the least.

The fed should only be concerned with money supply. It would be difficult to back to a gold standard. Cheap money drives out better money. If we tried it would be replaced by cryptocurrency or some other cheap money.

There is no safe lynch pin to pull.

government involvement has never "FIXed" anything think Regan said it best "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."

Tbh I'm still stuck on squaring control over value and having no incentive for bias.

It’s called moral hazard and one way to insulate against it is to have wealth stored in blind trusts.

Bias is inescapable

still scrambling to find the "Next Best Thing"

It doesn’t matter because even fans of the Fed have to be cautious now that Kashkari has said moral hazard isn’t an issue

I think this is going to be an interesting year 😂

Ok so they do have financial incentive for bias. That was the part of your argument that had me concerned.

Or explanation

No they have biases because they are people. They have no financial incentive other than a healthy economy.

That is inconceivable to me. Maybe I'm just slow.

But respectfully (to them) they are not the most competent people at understanding Macroeconomics. People who are at the top of macroeconomics are making huge amounts of money in finance.

Because all of their wealth is held in blind trusts. So if they favored one industry or sector over another they might inadvertently screw themselves.

But blindly enrich someone else. Got it.

Yeah, they could make someone rich. But they really don’t have that sort of attitude imo. The way Roberts sees himself protecting the institution of SCOTUS (I am not a lawyer I just gather this from all the lawyers I see talk) The Fed chairman and board want to protect the institution of the Fed. Plus it would be hard to get away with. If they favored someone competitors would probably be interested in uncovering corruption.

Unless it always eventually swings the direction of everyone with a stake and they accept it for overall gain.

Everyone with a stake is you and I and your grandma

I'm not sure it scales well but ok.

Everyone who doesn’t have a guaranteed state funded retirement will be getting their retirement from the market. Whether it’s equity or bonds etc. and social security is not a reliable retirement plan. money held by institutions is your money man.

Also state funded retirement is a scam on the tax payer. Please don’t screenshot.

Lol

One for you, ten for me and they are all worth half now...and on and on.

I already screenshotted and forwarded to the appropriate authorities. Don't answer your door.

😂 I just think it would be unpopular for me to say. I am not breaking any ethical codes of conduct.

Sedition. Heresy.

Or some such

Also there is massive deflation we don’t recognize. Mostly technological deflation. So I am just saying the issue could be more complex than the Fed is bad lol

Sedition probably looks good on my resume

Lol

My resume will be useless in a few years, hopefully, when I can move to Spain. Good talk.

@Zuluzeit Is your job being automated?

They can't automate my job unless there is some amazing ai involved. I'm pretty close to not needing it, though.

I have something that uber-wealthy people can never have: Enough.

@Zuluzeit That is called settling and becoming complacent. Being mediocre.

I suppose what you call it depends on what you want. Settling? Absolutely, for what I want. Mediocre? From your assertions, I reckon our measures for that are very, very different.

...and complacency is the whole idea. 100%
