In recent months, the Federal Reserve made avoidable mistakes that fueled inflation. That’s the view of a range of economists and policymakers, including some voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee. In the spring, some FOMC members called for an end to the extraordinary levels of monetary and fiscal stimulus provided in the depths of the pandemic. The central bank must now raise interest rates at a fast pace to combat rising prices, potentially dampening economic growth in the U.S. The Federal Reserve was contacted for comment but is in a media blackout before the expected rate announcement later today.

Democratic Capitalism, that is the problem. Look at the unit price index and private banks this is where the creation of money takes place.
James 5: 1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you.
2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.
3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.
4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.
6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.
is this really a good time to buy stocks? I know everyone says the market is ripe enough for buying but will stocks tank further this year? How long until a full stock recovery? How are other people in this market raking in over $250k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.
‘’Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets … any sound investment will eventually pay off."
Idle money gets killed due to inflation. I'm in a privileged position to be able to save almost 65% of our net household income, placed it on safer investment . The key for us was not spending beyond our means. In this era you have to hold on to every dollar and make it count.
powell …. lied
Why so many investor bots in this comment section….
We read news in the media that doom and gloom is coming and we just accept it, doom and gloom doesn’t always have to be coming, I’ve read numerous success stories of people that are pulling off tremendous gains of up to $250K within weeks in this crazy market and I just want to learn how to achieve such figures.
Heard someone say the best season for a financial breakthrough is now, especially with inflation running at a four-decade high. I have approximately $750k stagnant in my portfolio that needs growth. What is the best way to take advantage of this downturn?
With the way the market is moving, we'll mostly hold for longer than 2030 to realize profit gain, I think a video on "How to profit from the present market" will be more effective, I mean I've heard of people making upto 250K within few months and I'd like to know how.
the people vote for the government that gives out extended welfare and prints money, and then complains about the government, why vote for them in the first place
Providing stimulus money to regular citizens really helped save a lot of people and prevent a worse outcome across the board. By the way, if our stimulus money was such a problem, then why are some other countries having worse inflation and economic fall out than the USA? The reason is because overall, we did a pretty good job of managing the crisis. Things would have been even better had Trump fully supported mask-wearing and vaccinations.
The fin-Markets have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stocks and bonds. My $400,000 portfolio is down by approximately 25%, any recommendations to scale up my returns before will be highly appreciated.
The feds are failing us as the price of necessities continue rising
YOU TELL ME IF THIS IS NOT HIPOCRITISM AT A HIGH LEVEL…………… THANKS TO CNBC NEWS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED THE WORST BADGE OF CORRUPT DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS EVER SEEN AND THE INEPT DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS WHY WE ALL ARE NOW ON THIS INFLATION. OUR INFLATION IS ONE OF THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT THE INEPT BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS BROUGHT TO ALL OF US AND HE IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. DEMOCRATIC VOTERS – WHAT ELSE YOU WANT TO HAPPEN TO OUR BELOVED COUNTRY FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CANNOT SUPPORT A DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AND ME??? PLEASE SNAP OUT OF SUPPORTING THEIR STUPIDITY…
Increase interest rate is not going to stop this inflation. It only allows more spending for the 5% and the government. The opposite should happen which is help our economy, not hurting it. And lower the costs of good.
I wonder if people that experienced the 2008 crash had it easier because this market conditions are driving me to insanity, my portfolio has lost over $32500 this oct. alone my profits are tanking and I'm don't see my retirement turning out well when I can't even grow my stagnant reserv.
I find it interesting that in this report they never talk about corporate greed. There have been many other stories in the news about how major corporations have raised the the cost of the their goods not because it's costing all that much more to make them, but to piggy-back on the inflation bandwagon and scoop up huge profits. There's not much the fed can do about that. That would take action by congress, something that the current bunch of idiots on capitol hill are not capable of doing. A couple other thoughts… don't raise interest rates and wonder why the housing market then tanks. Back in the 1980's when interest rates on home loans were 14% or more, we had recessions. Once the fed wised up and dropped interest rates, home sales took off in the babyboom generation and then sales of all other goods followed and times were good. Finally, get back to diversity of ownership of businesses. There are just a few enormous global corporations that control the price of many, many goods. Make no mistake, they control inflation, not the fed. Again, though, this would take strong action by good leaders, something we currently have little of in the American congress.
If people ever figure out that currencies (dollars, pesos, euros) etc are not real, they will truly understand this game and stop playing it. The is no such thing as "inflation" unless slavery is taking place. The only things that are real are natural resources, labor and time. Why is it so hard for people to understand how the Illuminati has maintained control all this time?
I am aware that continuing to invest during periods of volatility can be a smart way to build wealth. I’ve heard testimonies of people accruing over $250k in this red period. What measures can I take to achieve this?

The American PONZI scheme of fooling the world cannot go forwards because the world has realized the American privilege of running the PONZI scheme that exploits the rest of world.
I am trying to avoid making any new buys at this point in other not to get sucked into a bear market trap. It's tough making money in stocks when institutional investors are the driving force behind the selling.. although I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist
Nobel prize of Economic is not Working in Economist mind now .
Money is not of use anymore .
Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy. The fin-Market;s have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stock;s and bonds. My portfoliio of $250k is down to $192k any recommendation;s to scale up my return;s during this crash will be highly appreciated.
