BS ANSWER JP! The current rates are not doing their job because
inflation is increasing again. Just because we don't have the super
high rates we saw 2 years ago, doesn't mean they still aren't high
and getting better! People believe this TRASH and JP has gotten so
good at the narrative. Just raise the Fed Rate to 7% and lets get
this over with! The lower and middle class is going to get
demolished soon and there will just be extreme gap between lower
class and upper class soon with the middle class
non-existant.

IMHO, current rates aren't doing their job fighting inflation
because this inflation is driven by shortages and not interest
rates ot money supply. Plus, I believe their is the myth that the
FED can control long-term interest rates.

Shortages without printing would not lead to inflation - it
would lead to substitution. All inflation is ultimately caused by
the Gov (name the famous economist that said this
)
And I agree that the Fed does not control long term interest
rates....until you start with YCC...massive QE. Even then
it's questionable because the numbers get so big. That's why every
bail out is magnitudes larger than the last...because we print to
get out instead of solving the underlying issues....then the next
time we have reset price levels and have to print even more to have
the same effects.

Honestly I think your problem is that you only look at the
market from one perspective, and that is with a bearish bias. You
need to be flexible to the market direction. I have the opposite
problem in that I'm a much better bull than bear. So I try to be
open to the bearish perspective of others and take advantage of the
opportunities that are offered.

Oh, I definitely do sound like that mastermind and that's only
because I've been short and losing my ass the last few months. I
think we will crumble soon and I'm just too early (kinda like
Blurry LOL)... with that said, once I sell these
shorts soon, I will be full bull for the long term. I can't keep
taking these big bearish bets if I ever want to retire early.

Yep. You can hate how they are printing money and inflating
their way out of all problems and gaslighting all of us along the
way (I sure as hell do), but it doesn't help to trade against it.
Just makes it worse. Consider them guilty as charged and then
figure out how to profit from the effects of continuous currency
dilution. There have been ZERO hints that they have any
concern or plans to stop the spending and printing - in fact they
just surprised from an expected 200 billion to 240 billion and
raised the out quarters....so they are openly accelerating, not the
other way around. That will inflate asset prices. Maybe not
tomorrow, but it will inflate them.
