Who is going to be watching the ticker all day?

The day the Fed has to soft land this ship with the President sniping from the twitterverse.

Nothing good comes from the president publicly persuading the Fed to do anything.

You’re an absolute moron if you think the Fed is trying to “tank” the economy.

Okay and I bet you think anyone who believes in the Deep State is an absolute moron too? Open your eyes. These idiots are in bed with the globalists trying to radically change our country.

What evidence do you have that supports your assertion that the Fed is trying to tank the economy?

1. No US president in history has/has had the economic expertise/understanding to give sound guidance to the FED regarding QE

Not only this, but it's also not in the President's purview to influence the fed, either.

Please identify the Fed's international shareholders and how many shares in the Fed they own. Thanks.

Isn't Greenspan right now all but saying what the Fed is doing will tank the market?

Number of shares of each institution is hidden from everyone just as the Fed's books are.

Nah, everyone who knows anything about the Fed knows there is no reason for a "number of shares" list because each member owns ONE share. The amount each member bank pays for its one share is based on its amount of capital.

Member banks do not share in any of the Fed's profits, which by law must be returned to the U.S. Treasury annually, and have no votes for who will be on the Fed's Board of Governors. The BoG is nominated by the President of the United States and must be confirmed by the U.S. senate.

By buying a share in the Federal Reserve Banks the member banks gain access to the Fed's discount window, wire transfer service, government bond transfer recordkeeping services, currency supply services and its check "clearing" operations.

And the Fed's annual audits by the Governmental Accounting Office, the federal Office of Inspector General and by an outside independent accounting firm (which rotates among the "Big 4" accounting firms, in 2017 the accounting firm used was KPMG*) are made public along with its audited Annual Report ( 2017 Annual Report), including its balance sheet and income statement, proving once again you're clueless in your paranoia.

*Here is an excerpt from the Fed's 2017 Annual Report regarding KPMG's duties:

quote:

---

The Federal Reserve Board engaged KPMG LLP (KPMG) to audit the 2017 combined and individual financial statements of the Reserve Banks.11

In 2017, KPMG also conducted audits of the internal controls associated with financial reporting for each of the Reserve Banks. Fees for KPMG's services totaled $6.8 million. To ensure auditor independence, the Board requires that KPMG be independent in all matters relating to the audits.

Specifically, KPMG may not perform services for the Reserve Banks or others that would place it in a position of auditing its own work, making management decisions on behalf of the Reserve Banks, or in any other way impairing its audit independence. In 2017, the Reserve Banks did not engage KPMG for significant non-audit services.

What just happened?

He wasn’t as dovish as the market was hoping for. Although he was rather dovish compared to statements previous to November. They’ve moved the dot plot from 3 hikes next year to 2.
