NOTE: Too many assume the FED:
- is in full control of the economy, markets
- can totally control deflation & inflation, jobs, housing etc
- can & will adjust quickly and/or change course
- will not again make a serious error in INTEREST RATE/INFLATION adjustmebts.
I believe the FED has already erred as they did in being too late to raise rates. That error is less damaging than the CURRENT ONE: DELAY IN CUTTING RATES
- Recent revision in JOBS DATA appear to be a FED CYA strategy

I think this Fed's performance is impressive in supporting the economy dealing with the historic COVID-19, the trade war, inflation, and the presidential politics.  Don't fight the Fed if you want to make profit in the markets ......................

You've got to be kidding, if they would have put rates back at 3% by 2010 I'd bet we wouldn't have seen inflation this bad as their low rates just put the consumers into debt even more.  Take a look at credit card delinquency and levels, record highs as people have attempted to keep their high lifestyles alive!!!  They need to go back to never talking and the briefcase indicator.  All of this talk all of the time has just increased volatility.

Powell was not the Fed president in 2010.  It was Bernanke who was the Fed president from 2006-2014 ..........................

I am talking about all of the Fed!!  They, including Powell left rates far to low to long that created the bubble and inflation we have today.  As the great Rick Santellie has also said the Fed has been manipulating the market for years, look at their balance sheets.  I was around for the briefcase indicator, it was much better for the market.  The fed needs to let markets work naturally.
