Why the Federal Reserve Controls So Much of the Economy | WSJ

Right now, we stand at a crossroad of possibilities in the market where the boundaries on what we can achieve is not just dictated by the Fed, or the world around us(war, inflation). There's always going to be recession for some people while others amass wealth, think about it.

From austerity measures to Brexit, and now with widespread bank failures, it's crucial to conduct your own research and seek advice from a licensed advisor before considering investments in these volatile markets.

[@michaelschiemer3]

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

[@Rachadrian]

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

[@Dantursi1]

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over $2.8million.

In 9 minutes? This was a total propaganda piece. Wall Street and the Fed are two sides of the same coin and with this being a Wall Street Journal piece go figure. The presidents and Congress are beholden to the Fed not the other way around. The Fed is the real mafia and the CIA is their intelligence arm. At it's establishment in 1914 on the eve of WWI, you could say that was the official coup of the United States of America. Both world wars were their doing. And not only the oil of the middle east was their goal but esp the chemical industry of Germany that brought us into the modern petrochemical world post WWII. Plus the extinguishing of socialism in Russia and Germany that gave fire to our labor revolts in the early twentieth century. And all of this has been accomplished going forward with the establishment of the Breton Woods financial instruments like the IMF and World Bank that allowed the U.S. to convert all the colonies of Britain, France, etc into financial colonies and the takeover of their industries and raw resources thru debt ridden structural adjustment loans and CIA coups. All Wars are Banker's Wars is a short half hour doc that gives some history here. I think the other commenter above suggested another. Predator Nation is an essential book to check out, by the author/director of the best documentary out there on the subprime mortgage crisis but who also details the fifty year takeover of our economy via the financial crises that have littered every decade since Nixon took us off the gold standard and the Fed began it's rise again following the New Deal and Glass Steagall legislation during the great depression that separated wall street from banking. The savings and loan crises of the 80s, the mergers and acquisition and hostile takeover phase that followed, and all the creative, ie manipulative financial instruments that each crisis gave them more money and subsequent power to destroy the regulatory laws that kept them in check, leading to the dissolving of glass steagall end of 1990s and onward onto the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. Frank Dodd was essentially written by them and had allowed for the rise of Black Rock and Vanguard and other private equity firms and all the qualitative easing that's ensued thus which is really about privatizing not only our economy but the rest of the world's too via all these wars which are being paid for with printed money. We don't have a real economy anymore. Wars aren't sustainable, the sickness industry isn't sustainable and most factories have been farmed out to other countries to be able to exploit their cheap labor and lax pollution laws, etc, that their ability to bring us under total control in order to bring about their next grand war will be as easy as flicking the first domino piece and it all falling into place for them. They hate riots and protests when they orchestrate these ugly wars and takeovers so they're doing everything possible to thwart every natural movement before it has a chance to turn into a real flame of an uproar.

[@cbatchler]

I get what you are saying but 90% of HELOC, commercial lines, and loans are tied to the prime rate which is fed funds +3, so when the fed changes that rate all those loans follow. That's a huge influence and everything else would be priced and correlated to that. Good old supply and demand.

[@Adam_The_Archivist]

@@cbatchlerno actually most mortgages, corporate debt and to a lesser extent home mortgages are tied to the 10 yr Treasury rate. You are correct on the +3%. If you look at the current 10 year and add 3% you are at the national average of roughly 7% give or take..

[@cbatchler]

@@Adam_The_Archivist Not really, what you are saying is the correlation or spread of two different loan products. If that were true then why do I have a 3.25% mortgage in Oct of 2016 when the 10-year was at 1.7%? That would suggest my mortgage should be 4.7% and not 3.25%, Right? Think of it this way, on a highway the speed limit is 55 MPH but most cars are going 60, some going 65-70 and some 75 MPH. Those cars are willing to take the risk of going faster just as investors are willing to pay different rates for different products and as speed limits change so does their speed. So the loans aren't tied to the 10-year Treasury, that is just a frame of reference to compare other loan rates too. I have a commercial line of credit with Key Bank and it says the rate is 6 points plus the prime rate, it doesn't say anything about the 10-year US Treasury in its pricing model, nor have I ever seen a loan price itself to the 10 year. Hence the Fed sets the line and every one prices and moves around that line and then supply and demand sets in just like a speed limit.

[@ISpitHotFiyaa]

Historically that's true. But at this point their balance sheet is so huge that they pretty much do control the bond market. If they unloaded all their mortgage backed securities at once then long term rates would spike. Or they could drop rates to 2% by printing money and buying mortgage backed securities like they did in 2020. They don't operate according to the economics textbooks anymore. Things changed in 2008.

[@nathanaeltekalign2508]

The Federal Reserve confuses monetary inflation with non-monetary inflation. Monetary inflation is caused by an increase in the money supply. The inflation of the 1970s was monetary inflation because the Nixon Shock happened during 1971. The inflation that happened during 2022. Non-monetary inflation was caused by supply chain issues that would have gone away even if interest rates were never raised in the first place. Therefore, interest rate increases were inappropriate during 2022, even if they appropriate during 1978. Also, the Federal Reserve should focus on the rate that the money supply increase rather than the inflation rate.

[@libiroli]

"Also, the Federal Reserve should focus on the rate that the money supply increase rather than the inflation rate." What you described is called Monetarism, which Friedman tried in the 70s. It didn't work. That's how they arrived on targeting inflation.

the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.

Thanks, I'm not an economist, all I have to say America it's no longer what was before, one bad decision from the government, ruined the all thing, there's a lot of poor people only small hands of rich, today's economy its bad, hope the Federal reserve give a long thought to the next decision.

The Fed should have NEVER printed that money like they did. No stimulus checks. 20% of all money in circulation in 2020 was printed that year. There is too much money in system

hindsight is always 20%, how do you react to 30% drop in economic downturn, 50% drop in international trade and travel, and people die left and right in just a few months?

[@franco521]

The Fed monetizes the debt of the US government by issuing Federal Reserve Notes. Why not cut out the middle man (the Fed) and save hundreds of billions of dollars in operational expenses and let the US Treasury issue *United States Notes* just like it did from the early days of the civil war till the 1960s?

[@prairiepatriot2162]

I agree, but they won't do that because in the current state of affairs Treasuries would plummet and interest rates would be much higher. If the Fed weren't there to buy these bonds then the federal govt., and states would actually have to practice fiscal discipline; nobody wants that.

[@SineEyed]

Because the US gov went bankrupt to the collective entity we now call the Fed back in 1912. Then US gov entered into an agreement with the Fed which remains in effect to this day. Even if the debt was paid in full - which I'm not sure will ever be possible - US gov will be right back where it was in 1933: having zero capitol by which to conduct its affairs. At which point I'm sure the Fed would be more than happy to renew the contract with US gov to begin renting Federal Reserve Notes into circulation once more..

[@raybod1775]

Doesn’t matter in reality. Any profits from the Fed get turned over to the Treasury so in reality the federal government borrows money from the Fed for free. Fed also does what it’s told otherwise Congress would write a new law to end the Fed.
