RE:$$ ;Rockit, if you read what I said I quantified my statement by saying "The Fed would have to raise rates above the level of inflation for them to have any effect." Inflation is running about 6%. That would mean they would have to take interest rates up a minimum 5 full basis points from where they are now. If they take rates up even two points the markets will sell off. The debt has grown so big since 2008 when they had a chance to change the system, but they repeatedly turned to money printing. Why? Because that is a way of taking money from people without them realizing what is going on. That is what inflation is. They said at The FOMC meeting one week ago that they are not going to raise rates until the last quarter of 2022 or the first quarter of 2023. Until they actually do something and not say something we will see. They got us into this mess by using the same tactic of money printing over and over again. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. CHEERS
