  • Hassett says Fed independence is ‘really important’ and chair candidates shouldn’t be disqualified for being Trump’s friend

    From cnbc.com

    National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, one of the finalists for the Federal Reserve chair job, showed support Tuesday for central bank independence. With President Donald Trump apparently in the final days of picking a successor to Jerome Powell at the Fed, Hassett declined in a CNBC interview to directly address his own candidacy but said forging consensus is an important part of the job. “The Federal Reserve’s independence is really, really important, and the voices of the other people at the [Federal Open Market Committee], they’re important, too,” he said. “So the way you’ve got to drive ...

Calling someone out for using a number rather than a fake name is obviously hypocritical. Post under your real name and location then complain. Also no cares about anyone who posts here, it’s just an endless stream of meaningless posts to satisfy the poster’s ego. If anyone cared there would be actual thoughtful discussion about actual trading. That’s definitely not the case on this site lol.
No it is not hypocritical. This is a community and everyone of us is creating a kind of image of himself. We make friends/ buddies and we even discover where we come from and can become real friends. There have been cases where people discover that they really know each other. Besides, names are easier to remember than number and name are easier associate with something or with somebody. You as a number are something unidentified and people do not even register you reappearance and your comments cannot be connected to any history of comments nor they can be tracked. As a number, you appear only like a coward who is afraid to be judged for his opinions. That's why nobody cares about your opinion.

When Trump's own stooges run the Federal Reserve and inflation still isn't coming down, when the long bond still is pushing 5% or higher, how is he going to blame Biden for that? And when they have the ffr at <0% and the stock market crashes, what to do then?

{quote} You are hilarious, laughable clueless. I’ve read your posts and your made up name does you well, definitely no idea about anything trading related. This site is nothing but 4chan for Trump hating, America hating, perma bears who just talk about bubbles and crashes during a huge bull market run. The ego you have is clinically delusional that you think anyone on the planet cares what you think, what you say, or anything you have ever done in your life. No one care about you, me, or anyone else on this site. But if it makes your pointless existence...

The ego you have is clinically delusional that you think anyone on the planet cares what you think, what you say, or anything you have ever done in your life. No one care about you, me, or anyone else on this site. But if it makes your pointless existence feel better, go right ahead and live in your fantasy world.
