Watch CNBC’s Fed panel react to the Federal Reserve’s unanimous decision to leave rates unchanged

[@karenshackleton6053]

Great video, I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post. Despite the dip in crypto, I still thank you for the level headed financial advice. I started crypto investment with $4,345 and since following you for few weeks now, i've gotten $18,539 in my portfolio. Thanks so much Maria Susan.

[@frederickjack9602]

I'm surprised that you just mentioned Maria Susan here. I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.

[@JaneHarris-fg5lm]

She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families in United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states.

[@DavidWilliams-wx]

Really you people know her? I was even thinking that I'm the only one she has helped walk through the fears and falls of trading.

[@MichealBull]

Susan’s expertise in customizing investment portfollos based on changing market conditions and personal risk profiles is exceptional it's not a one size-fits-all approach, which is crucial in crypto investing.

This is THE END of first time home ownership and the slow death of the middle class in a generation. 77 bids over 4 years for our first home as native Tennesseans ALL OUTBID by cash investors. Wonder why we Millenials & Gen Z are doom spending? Why we aren't having kids, getting married? We CAN'T afford a home, car, kids, retirement... Child care costs 1/3 of the average income PER CHILD. At 35 y/o kids and a first home passed us by. Don't be surprised that these younger generations want to see it all burn. This economy isn't for us, it never has been. We've been checked out, not by choice

[@justinboucher5923]

The truth is the best thing for the economy would be higher rates, a mild recession and disinflation. Not a lot of any of that, but a solid reset. This price level remaining baked in with even 2% inflation is not good for the average person.

[@honkhonkler7732]

It won't be mild. This debt bubble is massive. It's still the best long term outcome.

[@archisc9080]

Amazing to see how Fed has been wrong in the past 3 years. No interest rate hike until inflation at 9% and started to talking about rate cut when inflation is trending up.

[@rickhayes-oh2zm]

Powell is using 70's 80's comparison. Then they counted food and energy in the cpi. The jobs market was counted more honestly. The economy was a disaster. Same here counted the same way in the 70 80s only worse.Reagan and Volcker defeated inflation then . Now no way.

Is “stagflation” the word for the day? LIke does he even know what stagflation is? Prices are still increasing NOT decreasing.. Sometimes we LISTEN to the FEDs too MUCH. Let’s see - good companies are still making good earnings. IF unemployment are up and increasing, earnings going down, companies having a hard time paying the debt payments, the customers are no longer buying - ahhhhh - we have a problem. Why do we listen to these people? Pay attention to the data. One problem - can we believe the GOVERNMENT DATA.
