As I have written many times before, I believe that the Fed follows the market and does not lead it. In fact, you can read my last article on the matter right here, as it explains this perspective using many historical examples. So, in following up on this perspective, let’s see if ...
For the past ten years or so, I have argued that investors in the stock market have placed most of their attention on the behavior of the Federal Reserve System. For much of this time Federal Reserve officials led by Chairman Ben Bernanke overtly focused on the stock market with the intentio...
