In this episode of Wealthion, host Andrew Brill sits down with Chris Casey, Founder and Managing Director of WindRock Wealth Management, to explore whether or not the Fed is driving the U.S. into recession. Chris exposes the hidden realities behind the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions and their drastic impact on inflation and the economy.

At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money. Each week we add new videos that provide you with access to the foremost specialists in investing, economics, the stock market, real estate and personal finance.
We offer exceptional interviews and explainer videos that dive deep into the trends driving today's markets, the economy, and your own net worth. We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you.
There’s no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead?
Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.
Put the wisdom from the money & markets experts we feature on Wealthion into action by scheduling a free consultation with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors, who will work with you to determine the right next steps for you to take in building your wealth.

I don’t think the current rate is so bad given the history of rates as much as the cost of the expenditures relative to the rate. For example, a house which cost 150% of annual income with a 10% rate was tolerable many years ago whereas today, a house which costs 400% of annual income at 6% rate is intolerable.

Don’t believe anything this channel publishes.

Why? Reality is no one knows what the market is going to do. Everyone just makes educated guesses at best. Those who guess correctly get to brag they called it later on in hindsight.
