The Fed Will Do Quantitative Easing All Over Again

I don't think that the President has a lot of fans at the Federal Reserve but I don't know that those guys are smart enough to know how to target him. I actually think that had the Federal Reserve not raised interest rates it would be worse right now because the only reason the US Dollar hasn't imploded is because the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates and because people believe they're gonna continue to raise interest rates.

Now, I don't believe that. Before Trump is finished with this term, interest rates will be back at zero and the Federal Reserve is gonna be doing quantitative easing all over again. Except it's gonna backfire because it's not going to reflate asset bubbles, it's gonna throw gasoline on the inflation fire.

The Economy Was Never Strong

Commentators keep asking why the Federal Reserve can't raise rates if the economy is so strong?

They still don't realize that the economy was never strong. They confuse a bubble for strength. Without zero percent interest rates and QE the bubble can't survive. But a return to those policies kills the US dollar!

So-Called Experts Are Still Optimistic About The US Economy

Podcast: The Market Was Expecting More From The Fed

Peter Schiff dissects the latest move from the Federal Reserve and its future implications for the markets.

"The selloff from the high to the low was just under 900 points. Earlier in the day the Dow had rallied up about 300 points because there was a lot of anticipation that even though the Fed was going to hike rates today, that it would indicate it would pause."
