.
The question is “Will there be investigations of the ‘Fed’s’ recent actions?”

They stink to high heaven.

Meanwhile, check out the little coincidence inside this good news below:

“The U.S. is back on top as the most competitive country in the world, regaining the No. 1 spot for the first time since 2008 in an index produced by the World Economic Forum...”

They say “fat corporate profits” like it’s a bad thing.

The DJIA will be below 20,000 within a month; probably sooner.

Get out now.

Go cash, silver, gold, water, food, ammo.

If you do not, your money will be trapped as you watch your paper/electronic assets pour down the drain.

A couplt things:

For the average person the stock markets should be used for long term investment, not overnight high gains. In that regard, after the close today and in spite of recent big losses, the DJIA is up over values of 3 months, 6 months and i year ago. S&P is even with 3 months ago and up over 6 months and 1 year ago. NASDAQ is a little down against 3 months ago and up over 6 months and 1 yer ago.

One of the biggest changes in the stock markets this last year is a return to a really more normal market, which has more volatilty than seen in recent years, when the main driver was what the Fed was doing in quantative easing and stimulus. With that not the major factor today, traditional value analysis is calling more of the shots, and as events in the global markets change the situation, that analysis changes, and portfolios change priorties, and you get a normal and sort of volatile market.

On some kind of economic, financial, monetary or global trading market news, certain kinds of stocks are viewed differently, in terms of future growth and earnings, and investors change the balance of what they are holding. That may see a day of some fairly large losses, as we saw last week, or some hefty gains, as we’ve seen for a couple days.

Long term means riding the roller coaster and not getting scared each time it climbs the hill or swoops down the hill. If what you’re holding is a basically solid company, and not a get rich quick “hot buy”, when the ride ends, as you get set to enjoy your nest egg, you will have gained good growth in value in most cases over a 25 year period. Buying and selling all the time as the market swoops up and down generates a lot of transactions and transaction costs. Usually that cost and what gains and lossed you get doesb’t beat just holding onto good solid companies for the long term.

Last week these jittery fools were selling and the market dropped. This week the jittery fools are buying and the market is up.

It goes up, then it goes down. Then it goes down and then it goes up. And, who knows why.

Funny how the Dems try to downplay an economy that can withstand a lot of fed increases and when our savings earn a bit more interest we no longer have to hear talk about banks charging interest to hold our money....
