what most of us not retarded knew over a year and a half ago, it's pretty simple monetary theory.
Batman, I'm usually with you, but one point for Strannix on this one. I think we all knew 10 years of QE and ZIRP were gonna be a problem... they increased the monetary base almost 100% in 2 years. They have over 400 PhD economists on staff. This isn't some shocker.

RIP Mark Haines.
He was great at questioning blowhard CEO's.
He drew upon his background as an attorney and would thoroughly deconstruct their rosy business scenarios one question at a time.
And never forget that his show introduced us to the Money Honey

It's easier to digest when you know they're doing it on purpose, it's hard to fathom that Yellen and her ilk could be so inconceivabley stupid.
The "We miscalculated or misjudged bullshite"
The global elites and wall street prefer inflation to a correction, they have so much money it doesn't matter, they want us poorer, and Joe Blow worried about his 401K

Bump

Nice bump. Yep, they misjudged bigly.
I honestly felt a 1% hike last month or the month before was what should have been done.
Powell literally said they were too slow to react and they weren’t going to make that mistake again. And yet here we are.

I think they are trying to slowly ease the money from the system in the hope of not crashing us worse than the Housing Bubble did.
There's simply no way to remove TRILLIONS of QE from the market quickly, efficiently and without pain; it ends up being a matter of how much pain you want and for how long.
Some would rather the Band-Aid be ripped off, others would rather it slower after a couple of shots of bourbon. The Fed has opted for the latter to keep the market running on pure hopium (everyone is starting to clutch pearls over the possibility of a full point next week, so if it is only .75 the market will rally again... as if everyone forgot that just before the CPI came out investors and talking heads were talking about the possibility of a .5 instead of .75).

Everyone involved with the techbro billionaire bailout absolutely shite the bed

The issue wasn't raising rates... it was they started way too late, then raised way too fast. Many saw bad coming, but it is worse than I thought it would be (two banks).

I agree about raising too late, but too fast? I feel like they should have raised them even faster. Maybe I’m wrong though

Stop giving away money. Stop trying to combat inflation. They should simply stop causing it.

Higher reserve ratio.

Rates have never been raised this much this fast in recent history.
They have been higher in the past, but that either came from a higher base or took longer to get there.

But they haven’t pumped this much money into the economy or this fast either. Desperate times call for desperate measures in my opinion.

At today’s meeting, the FOMC raised its five policy rates by 25 basis points, bringing the upper end of the range to 4.75%, as widely expected. The Fed has now hiked by 450 basis points in 10 months, far more than anyone imagined a year ago. It has also run $500 billion off its balance sheet in six months of QT.

You guys focusing on rate hikes can't see the forest for the trees.QT and running MBS off their books is more important.

CPI is down from 9.1% annually when he made his post to 6.0% now. He made his post at peak CPI.
