I always managed my own investments.
But the FED can mess up the economy with monetary policy, which it appears it is trying to do. If we were having inflation problems I would understand raising the rates, but we’re not. What a strong dollar and higher rates does is harm business investments and exporting, among other things.
That’s what I don’t get: why, with tariffs, do we not have inflation? Somebody tried to explain it away with the reasoning that he wasn’t applying tariffs to consumer goods. What about the “trickle down” effect? How can increased wages and increased tariffs not result in increased costs? Does the supply-sider support nullify those things? P.S. I bet your investments are still relatively OK.
