The End Of Free Money At The Federal Reserve

The U.S. is entering a new economic era. It began with an interest rate tightening cycle coming out of the Federal Reserve, with decisions that have reshaped personal finance in America. Some savings accounts can now return meaningful interest for the first time in years. It has also led to a Wall Street reshuffling, and a wave of corporate bankruptcies as some bad bets turn sour. With these free money years coming to a close, we examine how the Fed's decision-making has affected the economy.

The End Of Free Money At The Federal Reserve

[@NicholasBall130]

It's quite simple why rates are climbing with rising imports and falling exports, the FED is obviously to be blamed for banking crisis. Something will eventually break if they keep the quantitative tightening and higher interest rates. Is this really a good time to have some savings in stocks?

[@EleanorBaker474]

first austerity, then brexit, now widespread bank failures. .always do your own research & speak to a license advisor before thinking about putting your money into these crazy markets

[@StocksWolf752]

Exactly, most youtubers said the market would be fine few months back, but it's been a major downturn. Luckily, since the rona-outbreak in 2020, I've avoided the drawback of trial and error by simply following professional guidance. I'm semi-retd and work only 7.5 hours weekly, with nearly $1m ROI after subsequent investments to date.

[@StacieBMui]

this is incredible! how can I vet your advisor, mind sharing info, if you please?

[@CatherineWilson8]

The system is failing as a result of both government and federal policy. In the next days, the banking crisis would have to be epic and gigantic for the FED to decide not to raise interest rates. This won't happen; an increase and a crash are coming. There will be more negative portfolios this 2nd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

[@ScottArmstrong12]

Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder

[@ritalorrigan]

Very true, you can be passively involved in the markts and still amass wealth-gains using an investment advisor. I first dabbled in stocks late 2019, just before the pandemic, and that same year gained over 150% with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was following directions of my advisor. We are working on a retirement ballpark of $3m and I’m certain my goal isn’t farfetched after subsequent investments and tremendous returns so far.

Fed reserve and the treasury is not bothered about stock capital market. They are more concerned about the treasury bond market. They fear the bond market may become dysfunctional and illiquid.

The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the US dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside 650k to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.

[@hankmarks69]

Yes, truly, investing in the market, even if it's just the S&P 500, can keep up with inflation, because the growth rate of stocks will always exceed the inflation rate. But if you don't have the courage, you could just invest with a financial advisor, which even has greater return on investments, while securing your investment against losses.

[@PhilipDunk]

Keeping money in the bank is like paying banks and the Govemment. Here's how it works: The bank gives out your money as loan, and charge interest obviously higher than inflation rate, and then give you, the depositor, interest lower than inflation rate. That means net loss for you. That is why I prefer to invest, and on average, my advisor makes returns that always beats inflation!

Really, banks require more regulation. The entire idea of banking as "let's gamble" is terrifying. Because they discovered in 2008 that the government will always bail them out, there are no repercussions. These bank crisis are so worrisome. This whole financial crisis and the Great Recession posed the most significant macroeconomic challenges for the United States in a half-century, leaving behind high unemployment and below-target inflation and calling for highly accommodative monetary policies. And this is only the beginning!

This is great news, as the fed has finally learned how to steer the ship, all countries should have low unemployment from here out. We are witnessing history!

[@davidceron8660]

The fed finally realized that free money and trickle down economics caused a great economic imbalance. The rich become richer and the poor poorer. With low interest rates we had zombie corporations that had no business in the stock market and huge corporations like Black Rock that took advantage of corporate welfare "0% interest rates" to purchase high amounts of real estate that would give them the needed leverage to dictate the price in both the rental and price of real estate to the detriment of working people. We, working people didn't have the 0% advantage that black Rock had, thus nowadays most working people can't afford to rent a decent home much less to buy one due to the fact that wages did not keep up with inflation among other economic factors. The fed needs to go back to responsible fiscal policy and adopt the strategy that worked for Paul A Volcker in the past. Some of the current socieconomic problems are the result of the loose fiscal policy that we had since Greenspan. How is it possible Greenspan lowered the prime interest rate to 1% since June of 2003 without any secondary socieconomic effects. Well, that's impossible and now we see the results. A lot of homeless people are not homeless by choice. They are homeless because their wages are not enough to pay for food, much less decent housing.

[@JeremyMacDonald1973]

@@Chad_Max There is a difference between letting a bank fail and allowing for essentially a no consequence bailout using the taxpayers money. The usual method to handle this historically was to nationalize the bank. Everyone at the Director level and above no longer has a job. Anyone that invested in the banks stocks or was paid in stocks loses all that value as the stock prices go to zero and are discontinued. Meanwhile the government bails the bank out and runs the bank for 5 years and gets its balance sheet etc. under control and then sells it under some other name. This method insures that there are consequences for investors and the C-Suite if they allow for the bank to fail without having to deal with the consequences of a bank run.

"the question is whether interest rates are high or too high relative to the demand for money..." Steve Liesman. Mr. Liesman's comment is the heart of this issue. In a normally functioning market, the price is set where demand for a good meets the supply of that good. Credit markets are where the demand for credit meets the supply of credit and the rate of interest is the price. No normally functioning market ever sees the price go to zero. It happened in credit markets because the government suppressed interest rates to BELOW their equilibrium price. The inflation we see today is a consequence of those Fed policies for the last 10 years. We should return the FED to a single mandate of price stability. And we should limit the Fed's ability to grow interest rates dramatically faster than the growth of GDP.

The fed has no choice to let a Great Depression happen.

[@husndymabjr6763]

the fed has bin using the Petrodollar to print free money and cause global inflation. the U.S prints more money than Sudan and the dollar is strong because of the Petrodollar. if you code you will see the scam.

[@picklerix6162]

They have been kicking the can down the road for decades. Congress is inhabited by lawyers who know how to overcharge their clients but have no knowledge of budgeting.

The fed hides too much information and they are hiding the Great Depression.

[@williamshaw5388]

Free money at the Fed is the exact reason why we need to nationalize the financial system in this country. It’s obvious that the economic system in this country is beyond corrupt and broken.

[@jakubageter1689]

Things are a little off right now. The US dollar's purchasing power is declining, while its value as a whole is rising. Assets like stocks, homes, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals aren't performing as well as they could because individuals are investing their money in dollars for security. I'm worried that my $320,000 in savings may lose value rapidly. What should I do to secure my money?

Investing in alternate income streams should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.

Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.

If you don't find a means of multiplying your money, you will wake up one day and realize that the money you thought you had, had been exhausted. Investment is a ladder to climb the financial wall.

A sound economy requires a secure, predictable, and acceptable monetary system at its foundation. The world is not using it today. There is nothing to secure fiat from counterfeiting representation of present wealth. There is nothing predictable about debt. There is nobody accepting the volatile changes of today's monetary policy.

@1:43 The analogy of the Federal Reserve as mechanics maintaining an economic engine is an interesting choice. To expand on it they appear to have a hole in the economy's drain pan. Rather than fixing the holes that leak liquidity out of circulation they have been pouring oil in faster than it drains out. In this metaphor the oil is the money supply that helps keep the economic engine lubricated. Those holes in the drain pan? They are the funnels of wealth that take money out of circulation and into the savings, investments, and tax shelters of those who accumulate more than they spend. I really would not be surprised if the economic imbalance has already caused substantial lost opportunities and begins to slow economic growth. I suspect the trend of sacrificing long term prosperity for short term profit could have undesirable consequences for those not directly profiting from the practice. To be honest it would be interesting to take long standing economic metrics and recalculate them based on a common standard. Changes over time to items in the inflationary basket of goods can obfuscate the health of the economy. Tweaks to calculated unemployment statistics can hide huge swaths of people. Imagine getting paid millions of dollars, to make tens of thousands of people profit, at the expense of billions. It really feels like we are in a race to the bottom; like a ship full rats greedily trying to eat the last of the supplies on board before they're all gone. At least the rich haven't started to flee, like such metaphorical rats; that would be a bad sign.
