Not sure if totally incompetent or intentionally deceptive.


Anyway, I was listening to an interesting take on Jerome Powell. The person was profiling Powell and figures that as a 70 year old he doesn't want his legacy to be the one who let inflation run rampant and he doesn't have a lot of time left to nurture a slow correction. This persons conclusion was more and more dramatic rates increases down south until unemployment rises significantly.
Powell going to make the market bleed with a 0.5% on Feb 1st . I don’t think people took his last warning of more rate hike and pain are coming seriously .
